Kit contents and target system

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB SODIMM modules built for the Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 series. It provides the maximum memory capacity the platform supports in a matched pair. Builders upgrading a compatible Y500 receive a complete, tested set rather than a single stick.

Decisive specification

The memory runs at DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) with CL11 11-11-11 timing at 1.35 V. This exact speed, voltage and latency combination is what the Y500 memory controller expects; modules with different timings or 1.5 V operation may not be recognised or may downclock.

Thermals, noise and power

Unbuffered, non-ECC modules without heat spreaders draw minimal power at 1.35 V and produce no audible noise. Normal system cooling handles the thermal load without additional airflow requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the 1600 MHz speed run at full rate once installed in my Lenovo Ideapad Y500?

The kit is rated at DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) and will operate at that frequency if the Y500 platform supports it; otherwise the system will clock the modules down to the highest speed it allows.

Does the 204-pin SODIMM form factor match the two slots in the Y500?

Yes — each module is a 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM and the Y500 provides exactly two such slots, so the pair fits directly.

What physical space do the modules need inside the laptop?

The sticks are standard low-profile SO-DIMMs without a heat spreader, so they fit within the normal memory compartment height of the Y500.
