Can I use PC3L in PC3 slot?
Can I use PC3L in PC3 slot?
Yes, your laptop supports DDR3 (PC3- refers to DDR3) SODIMM memory, if the PC3L memory which you have is SODIMM (204pin) then you can install it with out any issues else if it is DIMM (240-pin) then don’t even think about it. Moreover, Crucial.com has listed 1.35v SODIMM memory.
Is it OK to mix DDR3 RAM with DDR4?
Your system is only compatible with DDR4 memory. The layout of the pins on a DDR3 modules are completely different to that of a DDR4 module. You would be unable to install the DDR3 modules into your motherboard, if you attempted to do so, you would damage the module and/or the motherboard itself….
Which is faster DDR3 or DDR3L?
The difference in both the RAM lies in the voltage consumption. DDR3 operates on 1.35V while the DDR3L version works on 1.25 V. Lower Voltage ensures faster transition from zero to 1 state and hence faster processing.
Can I use 1.35 V instead of 1.5 V RAM?
Yes, you can use a low voltage RAM module, rated at 1.35 V or 1.25V with a normal RAM module rated at 1.5 V. If your motherboard supports Low voltage RAM, it will run on 1.35V, but if it doesn’t, then it would work at 1.5V, just like the other normal RAM module.
What does the L in DDR3L mean?
Low Voltage
Which is better DDR3L or DDR4?
DDR4 RAM is better and faster than DDR3L, it’s clock speed is higher.
What’s better 16GB DDR3 or 8GB DDR4?
Not only for games, but also for overall performance of your PC. The amount of RAM doesn’t matters all the time but speed is absolutely matters. So 8GB DDR4 is better in most cases than 16GB DDR3. DDR3 memory is not worth in 2020.
Does RAM type matter?
No brand doesn’t really matter. Speed, timings, and voltage matters (somewhat). The Hyper X has slightly worse timings, but either would be fine. Speed barely matter either, unless you’re running an APU which makes great use of faster RAM.
How do I know if my RAM is DDR1 or DDR2?
Distance of Notch
- Notch Means above cuts Mark on RAM. DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 having Single Cut mark on the base of the RAM.
- But you can see the Cut mark (Notch) distance (see below photo) Notch of DDR1 and DDR2 are similar but if you see closely, You can find DDR1 Notch is just above the IC and DDR.
