Is there single 16GB DDR3 RAM?

With DDR3, you can only get 16GB DIMMs as load-reduced, buffered and fully-buffered modules.

Can a DDR3 motherboard support DDR3L?

DDR3L is pin-compatible with DDR3. DDR3L is a dual voltage capable memory SoDIMM, which supports operation at both 1.5 V and 1.35 V.

Can I use DDR3L RAM on a DDR3 laptop?

DDR3 runs at 1.5V, DDR3L will run at 1.35V or 1.5V and is therefore backwards compatible with DDR3. If you’re adding DDR3L to a system already containing DDR3 then it should work.

Is DDR3 and DDR3L the same?

DDR3L is a special type of DDR3 where L refers to low voltage standard. DDR3 needs a voltage of 1.5V while DDR3L needs only 1.35V. DDR3L consumes less power than DDR3. DDR3L is mostly used in mobile devices such as laptops and embedded devices while DDR3 is mostly used in personal computers.

What is the difference between DDR3L and DDR4?

DDR4 RAM uses a lower voltage The standard voltage of DDR3 RAM sits at 1.5V, while DDR3L RAM can use both 1.35V and 1.5V. DDR4 RAM, on the other hand, uses 1.2V.

Can I use DDR4 instead of DDR3L?

No, it is not electrically nor electronically compatible. DDR4, for example, runs at 1.2V (volts) while DDR3 runs at 1.5V (or 1.35V for DDR3L). A DDR3 RAM slot will provide that voltage.

Is DDR3L compatible with DDR4?

DDR3L runs at 1.35 and DDR4 at 1.2 volts. Also, DDR4 operates at higher frequencies (2133 or 2400 ) compared to DDR3L (1600 or 1866) and timings don’t match either. Some boards support both DDR3L and DDR4, but not at the same time. Download CPU-Z, figure out CAS latency, timings, and operating frequency for your chip.

What happens if you use DDR3 instead of DDR3L?

so, basically, DDR3 can run in DDR3L slot but it can damaged MB and battery due to higher voltage and heat issues? It won’t damage anything. Your CPU is specified to be able to use regular DDR3.

What does DDR3L 1600 mean?

DDR3L 1333 or 1600 @ 1.5v. DDR3L means low voltage. So I should buy 1600Mhz RAM? Yeah normal DDR3-1600 or faster if your motherboard supports it. Something like DDR3-2133 is popular but to use it to its fullest potential, the memory controller has to be overclocked.

Is DDR3L faster than DDR4?

DDR3L runs at 1.35 and DDR4 at 1.2 volts. Also, DDR4 operates at higher frequencies (2133 or 2400 ) compared to DDR3L (1600 or 1866) and timings don’t match either. Some boards support both DDR3L and DDR4, but not at the same time. The short answer is no.
