DDR3L on DDR3 socket?

[iInsane98]

Hello,

is it posible to insert DDR3L 8gb on a DDR3 socket?

Sorry for my bad English (im Dutch)

I would stick to normal ddr3, the voltages are different.

What motherboard and CPU, sir?

i have a lenovo z510 i7 edition upgraded tot 16 gb ddr3l but i want to buy a Acer Aspire V5-573G-54208G50aii i5 and the gtx 850m. I want to put the 8 gb stick from the lenovo in to the acer

All i5 CPUs starting from Sandy Bridge (almost 5 years old now) support DDR3L memory. It is the same memory type, only with lower voltage.

But I would not advise mixing RAMs. For example, if you buy that acer with memory being already inside, you can bet it is not the same model as yours in terms of manufacturer, clocks, timings, etc. You need a matching pair for best compatibility and stability, otherwise you might experience issues.
