8 GB DDR4 2666 SODIMM for ThinkPad P43s, P53s, T490

This 8 GB module uses 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM form factor and runs at 2666 MHz with CL19 timing. It is built for Lenovo ThinkPad P43s, P53s and T490 notebooks that accept non-ECC, unbuffered memory. Buyers whose laptop requires ECC or registered DIMMs cannot use this kit.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Operating at 1.2 V, the stick draws minimal power and produces no audible noise because it has no moving parts. Passive cooling is handled by the notebook’s own thermal solution. The module lacks a heat spreader, so sustained loads rely entirely on chassis airflow.

Single-stick upgrade and matched-pair guidance

The package contains one 8 GB stick; the supplier notes that maximum supported capacity is 16 GB across two sockets. Installing a matched pair enables dual-channel operation for higher bandwidth. Mixing with existing modules forces all memory to run at the slowest installed speed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CM1024642666SO SODIMM into my ThinkPad T490, and what step is often missed?

Power off, unplug, and remove the base cover. Insert the 260-pin module at an angle until the gold contacts are hidden, then press down until both side clips click. The step often missed is re-seating the module a second time if the system does not POST on first boot.

What maintenance or replacement will this 8 GB DDR4 module need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required. If capacity becomes a bottleneck, the platform supports a maximum of 16 GB across two sockets, so you can add a second 8 GB stick or replace this one with a 16 GB module.

What limit appears first under sustained load with this CL19 1.2 V kit?

The memory controller will throttle bandwidth before the 1.2 V SO-DIMM reaches a thermal limit, since the module has no heat spreader and runs at standard JEDEC voltage.
