Know before you buy
This module uses the 260-pin SO-DIMM form factor, which is the standard for most modern laptops. Please check your laptop's manual to ensure it supports DDR4 memory and has an available slot.
No, this module features auto-overclocking technology. It is designed to automatically detect your system's settings and reach its rated speed without needing manual adjustments.
You can, provided your laptop has an open slot and supports the same DDR4 standard. However, for the best performance and stability, it is generally recommended to use matching modules with identical speeds and timings.
While it is optimized for 6th Gen Intel Core processors, this is a standard DDR4 SO-DIMM module. It is compatible with most systems that require non-ECC, unbuffered DDR4 memory, regardless of the processor brand.
CAS latency refers to the delay between the memory receiving a command and executing it. A CL16 rating at 2400 MHz provides a responsive balance of speed and efficiency for daily multitasking and general computing.
No, this module does not have a heat spreader and is designed to operate efficiently at a low 1.2V. It is built to run cool within the standard airflow constraints of a laptop chassis.
