Pavilion g6-2314sp ram upgrade

[nunoedge]

Pretty much the title.

I've search arround the web and some mention I should get a 1600mhz, 1.35V ram stick (either 4gb or 2gb), since my laptop has 6gb, with max capability of 8gb.

But other sources say it should be 1333mhz and 1.5V. If someone could help I would appreciate.

Cheers

Here is the Manual. 

Manual

The Manual covers both 2d and 3rd gen Intel Core processor units and then some Pentium and Celeron. Your laptop has an i7-3632QM Quad Core 3rd gen processor so it does use DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM (1.35v) like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-ESSENTIALS-DDR3L-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-Low-Voltage/dp/B00GY5QJ2I/ref=sr_... (8 gig)

Although the Manual says 8 gigs is the max we know the 3rd gen Quad Cores will actually run 2 x 8 = 16 gigs of memory. But you do not want to mix memory. If you open yours up and the 4 gig module is 1.5 volt, your system will run either 1.35 or 1.5 volt and to get to 8 gigs you want to toss the 2 gig module and add another 4 gig with the same specs as the existing memory. If you go to 16 gigs get a pair of matched 1.35 volt modules. 

Installation is simple through the access panel on the bottom of the laptop. Pages 42-49.

Post back with any other questions but please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.

Thanks for the quick answer. I noticed you updated your answer with exactly the question I was going to do.

My laptop has two slots which say 1.5V, but both are 1.35v sticks.

Can you confirm if these sticks will be fine? (Will probably buy either a 4GB, or a 8GB and add with my current 4GB to make it 12GB). Both are cheap in my country while compared to others.

You have an example of high and low density modules....one has 4 black blocks on the side and one has 8. You also don't want to mix densities. So if you plan to add a module to an existing module, match speed, votage and density. Get the same as what you have. If you are going to buy 2 new modules get low density 8 black blocks on the side as they seem to have fewer comatibility issues with HP laptops.

I have a very similar question, regarding my HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC,  A7H16UA#ABC with Processor: AMD A4-3305M APU with Radeon HD graphics.  I intend to upgrade to 8GB memory.   Is it possible to lower the voltage to 1.35v and install DDR3L 2X4GB?  Also, what is the proper Memory speed for this laptop, and can that be changed to a faster speed with memory cards of a higher MHz rating?  I have not found a way to change these setting in the set up BIOS/CMOS.
