after upgrading will  it harm or there will be no change.

presently my laptop have ddr3 ram pc3 14200 ( 889mhz) , what happens if keep ddr3l in another slot.?

Hi:

The 8 GB DDR3L memory should work fine with the DDR3-1866 MHz memory.

I'm surprised the PC has that memory chip in it because the specs from HP indicate that it came with a 4 GB DDR3L-1600 memory chip.

You're very welcome.

I guess HP didn't have any DDR3L-1600 memory modules on hand so they installed a DDR3L-1866 MHz memory chip instead.

As you can see, the memory is running at 1.35V.

Below is the link to the service manual.

If you look at chapter 1 page 2, it shows the memory configuration for your notebook is 1600 MHz.

So the memory chip in your notebook is running at 1600 MHz now, and the one you add will also run at 1600 MHz.

very helpful and thanks a lot sir.

one last question,

will there be any issues with processor after adding ram??

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

There should be no problems of any kind, and your notebook should run better with 12 GB of memory installed.
