OWC 8GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL11 2Rx8 204-pin 1.5V Non-ECC SODIMM HP EliteBook 8770w 9470m memory upgrade

8GB DDR3 SODIMM for HP EliteBook 8770w and 9470m

This 8GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL11 module is built for HP EliteBook 8770w and 9470m laptops. It uses a 204-pin SODIMM form factor with 2Rx8 organisation and runs at 1.5V without ECC. The non-ECC unbuffered design matches the original memory specification for these mobile workstations. Buyers needing registered or ECC memory for server platforms cannot use this module.

JEDEC and RoHS compliant single module

The module meets JEDEC standards and RoHS requirements, ensuring a warranty-safe upgrade that matches OEM specifications. No additional accessories, software or heat spreaders are included in the package. The single 8GB stick installs directly into an available slot without extra cables or brackets. Users wanting a matched pair for dual-channel operation must purchase a second identical module separately.

Straightforward laptop memory installation

Installation involves opening the memory compartment, inserting the SODIMM at the correct angle and pressing down until the retention clips engage. The 204-pin keying prevents incorrect insertion into incompatible slots. The most common issue is the module not seating fully, which causes the system to fail POST. Verifying the clips are locked on both sides resolves this in most cases.
