Review on πŸ’Ύ Patriot 8GB DDR3 1600MHz SODIMM Memory Stick - High Performance RAM Module with Low Voltage Consumption by Micheal Wright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is DDR3L. Can't it run on 1.5V?

"1.35V" seems to be synonymous with "DDR3L" or "PC3L" but I was struggling a bit prior to this purchase as the computer I was upgrading only used " DDR3L" RAM used. You should just refer to it as DDR3L to save me the confusion - unless that RAM actually CANNOT run on 1.5V, which would be nice to know. "DDR3L" means backwards compatibility with 1.5V systems. Anyway, I used it to update my dad's 2014 Dell Inspiron 17 after installing Win 10 on it. Previously, it used 4GB of RAM. CPU-Z gives me the same speed scores. The system recognizes 8GB. I'll change my rating if the card on it dies, but so far everything looks A-good. Now it can open a bunch of Chrome tabs, Word docs, and PDFs without having to look in the paging file and slow down the computer, etc. Good stuff. Good price. does the job.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Requires Socket
