different between DDR3L and DDR3

[Markus_Bend]

Hey guys i'm going to buy a Asus G750JZ and think i will buy more RAM for it in the same time. But i don't know the different between DDR3L and DDR3. In the information on the Asus G750JZ it says DDR3L SDRAM so i'm not sure if i can use DDR3

[Shd0w2]

Laptop ram is L

[dragosudeki]

Its L and the socket is SODIMM

[Oshino Shinobu]

Laptop ram is L

DDR3L RAM is low voltage, not necessarily laptop RAM. 

[Markus_Bend]

so i can not use 

Crucial DDR3 SO-DIMM 1600MHz 16GB RAM bricks on that Laptop?

[Markus_Bend]

or maybe i can?

[Ryan Leech]

L means low voltage, which in trun means longer battery life, cooler operation, and longer lifespan

[Markus_Bend]

what i really wonder is can i use

Crucial DDR3 SO-DIMM 1600MHz 16GB RAM bricks in the Asus G750JZ laptop?

[Markus_Bend]

a reaply would be very good if anybody know

[WinNut]

As long as it supports it then you are good.

 

DDR3L runs at 1.35 V, while regular DDR3 memory runs at 1.5 or more volts.

I don't think you can.

I'm pretty sure you can use any so-dimm RAM in a laptop. Of course how much/speed is decided by the amount of slots and your cpu/motherboard.

[Markus_Bend]

well i need to be sure can't just buy RAM bricks and hope they will work 

[RazeG3SG1]

You cant put a normal ddr3 ram in a ddr3l ram slot. The power requirements for the RAM MAY SHORT OUT the slot. This is same goes for the ddr3l into ddr3 slot, the ram may be shorted out.

L is low voltage specifically for haswell DDR3L is 1.35v. The rest is your standard cas 9 but is 1600 isnstead of 1333 like the normal SPD default.

[Markus_Bend]

hmmm i tought DDR3 was same as DDR3L just with higher volt damn then it be more dificult to add more RAM

Hi markus, i had to log in just to answer your question. No one here seems to know it. I have a vaio ST series which rewuires a ddr3l and a lenovo x230 that runs on ddr3. I used the ddr3 on the lenovo to the vaio and the vaio detected it and worked well. I guess the diffrence is with the power. Putting a ddr3 will make your battery to discharge faster compared to getting a ddr3l.

see my post two above yours where I go into more detail.

I have a vaio svt14115cvs. Check the specs. It has a built in 4gb ddr3l and an extra slot

Here's what dell can say about it. L is compatible to both voltages but you need to consider the processor http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN153768/EN
