Lenovo Ideapad Y500 DDR3 SODIMM upgrade

This 8 GB DDR3 SODIMM runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5 V operation. It uses a 204-pin unbuffered layout and contains a single 2Rx8 rank module built with major-brand chips. The stick is validated for Lenovo Ideapad Y500 series notebooks.

Suitable for Y500 owners adding or replacing memory

Buyers with a compatible Ideapad Y500 can install this module to reach the platform’s 16 GB ceiling. Systems that require ECC, registered DIMMs, a different pin count or a voltage other than 1.5 V cannot use this part. Laptops limited to a single slot would need a higher-capacity stick instead.

204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor

The module fits only 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM slots and will not seat in 240-pin DIMM sockets or newer DDR generations. Verify the slot type before purchase because the physical keying prevents incorrect insertion.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.5 V voltage limit thermal throttle the module during all-day workloads?

The module runs at the standard 1.5 V for DDR3 1600 and has no heat spreader; sustained loads in a Lenovo Ideapad Y500 rely on the laptop's internal airflow to keep temperatures in check.

How much fan noise or extra heat does this 8 GB stick add when the system runs continuously?

The stick itself is passive and unbuffered, so it adds no fan noise; any extra heat is handled by the existing cooling of the Y500 series chassis.

Does my Lenovo Ideapad Y500 need a specific BIOS version or second slot free for this 204-pin SODIMM to work?

The module is guaranteed compatible with the Y500 series as shipped; it occupies one of the two DDR3 slots and requires no BIOS update beyond the factory release.
