Upgrading my ram help

DDR3L is a dual voltage capable memory DIMM, which supports operation at both 1.5V and 1.35V. The left would be a Crucial CT102464BD160B 8 GB and right a Corsair CMV8GX3M1A1600C11 8 GB. If this is for the Asus h81m-k you posted about yesterday, then after digging through the ASUS Memory reports for the H81 Series, Asus says the Corsair CMV8GX3M1A1600C11 is compatible. Where as Crucial says the CT102464BD160B  is compatible with the Asus h81m-k here https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/asus/h81m-k

 

Just take whichever is cheaper.

Hey guys im planning on installing another 8gb stick of ram to run dual channel with a 8gb stick which is already installed in my pc. The 8gb in my pc runs at 1.5 1600mhz DDR3

 

I have found 2 8gb sticks on amazon one is £29 from crucial which spec wise is identical to my pre installed 8gb stick except for the voltage. The other stick i have found is from Corsair which is £39 which is priceir but is spec wise exactly matches my other 8gb stick

 

the Crucial one runs at 1.35v

The Corsair one runs at 1.5v

 

The simple question is does voltage matter on ram when pairing it with another and which one should i get?

 

thanks to everyone who helps you guys save me so much hassle ❤️

I dont know if DDR3L (1.35v) can take as much voltage as DDR3 while staying healthy, so I'd rather get the 1.5V one. It will work dont get me wrong, I just dont know if DDR3L will die prematurely with 1.5V
