I am replacing a 2GB. All other specs match this item EXCEPT my old RAM is 1.6v and this new one will be 1.8v. Will it still work? Thanks!

I'm no expert, but I did work on computers for about a decade. Bus voltages are pretty important and I would think the bus voltage of 1.6v would not be enough to drive the 1.8v RAM. The difference in voltage to could lead to unpredictable results which in computer speak means things might be really screwed up, and intermittently so that you might never trace computer problems to a difference in RAM bus voltage. If at all possible, my recommendation would be to stick to the 1.6v. Once you open RAM it's not returnable so buying and trying in not an option - at least not for me. Sorry if this doesn't help.

looks doubtful. have you used the RAM tool at Crucial to ensure that you have the right RAM spec. I would suggest you use that tool and then decide.

This would consume 1.8v instead of 1.6v. Technically it depends upon motherboard/ pc spec what ram they allow/limit. Going down from 1.8v to 1.6v was easier to assume. If there is no limitation from motherboard then then ram should work with slightly more power consumption.

It accepts DDR3L 1066/1333MHz 1.35 volt SODIMM. Look for PC-10600 for the faster speed and PC-8500 for the slower speed. It's expandable up to 8GB of that type of RAM. Keep in mind that it has only a single RAM socket, so you won't be able to expand its RAM with more than one SODIMM at a time.

Thx. Do you need to replace the memory in 2 gb "pairs" due to the dual channel aspect. Crucial's website said yes. Thx in advance

Hello Bushehab, The HyperX Beast memory runs at 1.5V which is standard voltage and would not be compatible with that system. We do offer Asus branded memory that is tested to work in Asus systems as such is guaranteed to work in recommended systems. The recommended 8GB part number is KAS-N3CL/8G which is a 1.35V (low voltage) 1600MHz SODIMM. It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-PC3-12800-KAS-N3CL-8G/dp/B00GNT4MLK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1430757831&sr=1-1&keywords=KAS-N3CL%2F8G Thank you for choosing Kingston as your upgrade partner! -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

it should work as long as your power supply has the appropriate 6-pin connector. The 2GB one might be better in some very specific games or apps, but unless you need tons of VRAM then I think the 1GB version is plenty.

That's up to you, but remember RAM runs at the speed of the slowest chip. So if your 2GB is slow, your new Ram will run slow. Going from 2GB to 8GB is a big jump, so you could probably even just take out the 2GB and be fine. It also depends on if you want to upgrade later. Good luck!

Wait... where did the pin numbers come from?Anyway, I'm quite sure it will work. Mine is also a MB 3,1 (white 2.0GHz, but I don't think it matters much), originally with the same 512MB modules you described, of which first I swapped one to a 2GB one, then (using the product in question) the second one too. No problems ever.

Remember that some makers ram plays better than others. 99% of the time it works just plugging it in, but that other 1% you might have to go into bios and set the voltage/speed manually.

This should work in your motherboard. It is essenyially the same as the other RAM you mentioned

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

I believe all of the models share the same parts. the best way to know for sure is to compare the one your trying to replace visually with the one you are looking at. Voltage and hardware in general will be the same(for this model) its the os or memory that change. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Best place for your answer is www.crucial.com and fill in the boxes as to Make, Model #, et al and Crucial will tell you if it will work. I've always used them when purchasing ram.

Hi Jason, The DRAM Voltage can be adjusted in the BIOS of your system. The default specification of the memory is 1.5V and the XMP 1600 profile runs at 1.65V. So it should be able to run at 1.65V without an issue. Although, there is no guarantee that it will work properly with other RAM. Thank you for using HyperX memory. -Jewel @ HyperX Technical Support

The individual specs for the laptop and the individual specs for this RAM seem to be compatible. Mixing this with existing memory may fail. Not because what you have is bad, or this is bad, but because mixed memory sometimes does not play well together.

I wouldn't think so. I believe this module shows compatible voltage of 1.8v while Crucial shows your memory runs at 2.5v. Crucial shows your memory should be DDR PC2700 * CL=2.5 * Unbuffered * NON-ECC * DDR333 * 2.5V Part# CT532327

This RAM did not work for me & I had to return it. For your computer I would recommend this for sure it will work & save you a major headache >> http://www.crucial.com/store/ListParts.aspx?model=Special%20Edition%20L2005CO

Check on Crucial's website. I am not sure about your model. But make sure you find out the frequency of your current RAM. It should match with this RAM i.e it should be 1333MHz. Otherwise, the frequency of the combination would be equal to the slower frequency.
