depakjan Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am planning to buy a 8gb ram. i am confused if i have DDR3 or DDR3L . I have MSI GT60 2PC( MSI Global GT60 2PC Dominator) Specifications in MSI site shows that it has a DDR3L , but HWinfo reports as a DDR3 Also i am not sure where this stock ram is installed , if i buy a 8gb module and just insert it anywhere, it will become dual channel or i have to insert it near to the stock one ? Or should i just get 2x4gb ? Basically should i care about dual channel? or i can simply ignore it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finerek123 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Check ram voltage . If it is beetween 1,25-1,35v you have DDR3L. If 1.5v or more - DDR3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depakjan Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks .. mine is a 1.35v ram, if i am planning to upgrade, should i definitely get a 1.35v only? or i can get a 1.5v ram as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgt Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I think, only DDR-L with information from msi but from this site:http://www.quanmax.com/~quanmax/cmsAdmin/uploads/2014-quanmax-motherboard-product-brochure-summer-edition-0520.pdf micyou can see that it's possible (Intel HM87 Express Chipset) with normal DDR 1,5V.
