What is DDR3 SO-DIMM?

What is DDR3 SO-DIMM?

A SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is a memory module with a smaller outline and thickness than standard DIMM modules and designed primarily for notebook computers.

Can I use DDR3 RAM in DDR4 slot laptop?

DDR3 and DDR4 laptop memory are not compatible / interchangeable. First of all, a DDR3 laptop RAM module can’t physically fit into a DDR4 laptop RAM slot and vice versa. Notches on the connectors of memory sticks are on different places. DDR3 uses a voltage of 1.5V (or 1.35V for DDR3L variant).

What is crucial 8GB DDR3L 1600 SO-DIMM?

The 8GB DDR3L 1600 MHz SODIMM Memory Module from Crucial upgrades the memory in your notebook or compact desktop system. This unbuffered SODIMM provides 8GB of memory for a system that has an available 204-pin slot.

WHAT IS SO DIMM slot?

In notebooks , Small outline Dual Input Memory Module (SO-DIMM) slots are used since there is lack of space in smaller and compact devices. SO-DIMM slots takes half the space in comparison to DIMM slots, but they draw higher power than its bigger variant.

Can I put DDR2 RAM in DDR3 slot?

The slots are incompatible, so you can’t put DDR2 Memory in a DDR3 Slot, or vice versa.

How many pins does DDR3 Sodimm have?

204 pins
SO DIMM sockets are designed for the latest DDR4, as well as previous versions DDR3, DDR2, DDR, and SDRAM memory modules. For DDR1 and DDR2 SO DIMM sockets, the pin count is 200 pins; for DDR3 SO DIMM sockets, the pin count is 204 pins; for DDR4 SO DIMM sockets, the pin count is 260 pins.

Is PC3L compatible with PC3?

PC3 is standard voltage (1.50V) where PC3L is low voltage (1.35V) – A system which requires PC3L cannot support PC3 RAM. PC3L RAM will work in a PC3 based system as it will run at the standard voltage and will inter-operate with PC3 RAM within the system.

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.
