Is DDR3L faster than DDR3?

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 generates less heat when compared to DDR3….What is the difference between D DR3 and DD R3L?

DDR3 DDR3L
Memory Density Up to 8GB Up to 8GB

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.

Is DDR5 better than DDR3?

DDR5 or GDDR5 has more memory bandwidth and memory clock speed, which is why it is used for gaming purpose than DDR3. DDR5 is only used in graphics cards, on the other hand DDR3 is also used in computers. Despite the low latency of DDR3, DDR5 provides better performance than DDR3.

Can I use 1600mhz RAM on a 1333mhz board?

RAM speed is set by your motherboard and processor combination. In short, yes 1600mhz ram will work at 1333mhz just fine.

Can I use DDR4 RAM in DDR3L slot?

No, DDR3 and DDR4 are not cross compatible. The physical sockets are different among other things like input voltage, pin count, etc.

Can I replace DDR3 with DDR5?

YES! a motherboard with DDR3 RAM will accept both DDR3 and DDR5 GPUs. Like the other answers state; you only need the consider the PCIe slot for the GPU. The type of RAM slots (DDR3 or DDR4) are quite irrelevant to the GPU’s vRAM.

What does GDDR5 stand for?

Graphics Double Data Rate 5 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (GDDR5 SDRAM) is a type of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM) with a high bandwidth (“double data rate”) interface designed for use in graphics cards, game consoles, and high-performance computing.

Is PC3L same as DDR3L?

Upon googling up these terms I found that: “PC3 or DDR3 is the operated at 1.50v whereas PC3L or DDR3L is the Low Voltage memory module that operates at 1.35V.” This makes it look like the two terms mean the same thing.

Is it OK to buy higher MHz RAM?

Can my computer use the faster RAM or would it cause problems? Rick’s answer: Eric, the short answer to your questions is yes. Your computer will work just fine if you install the faster RAM. It will simply run at the slower 1333Mhz speed.
