Question DDR3 HP 250 G3 i5 4210U

[ricky891]

Hi!

In the last month I have purchased two 8 GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM memory banks recommended by the i5 4210U CPU which supports a maximum of 16 GB of RAM. I didn't buy DDR3L and I have to tell you that it works because I updated the BIOS.
Now tell me, I will have problems since the DDR3 memory bank is 1.80 volts and the previous one was 1.35 volts.
Thanks and await answers.

Hi:

You made a typo.  DDR3 memory runs at 1.5V.

Will you run into a problem?   Possibly, since the higher voltage may create more heat.

None of the BIOS updates add support for DDR3L memory.  Not sure why you are not getting an unsupported memory error.

So do I have to buy a 1.35 volts DDR3L ram memory bank again ?.

That's up to you.

However, I would think that would be the wise thing to do.
