Thinkpad T410 and RAM voltage
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:12 am
Hello all,
I'm keeping an eye on the (not quite rapidly enough...) dropping price of 8gb 204 pin SO-DIMM RAM sticks. Presently, via Newegg they are around $219 or so and even the price from Crucial.com has dropped nearly a hundred dollars in the last month or so.
That said, when I go to shop for the 8gb sticks there are 1.50v and 1.35v parts. When I got to the RAM configurator at Crucial.com, it matches both parts (1.50 and 1.35) as compatible. Presently I have 2x4gb of 1.50v ram installed.
So the question is - if I get a couple 8gb sticks of RAM at 1.35v for my Thinkpad T410 with Intel HD graphics will this work OK? I'd replace both of the 1.5v sticks at the same time with 1.35v RAM sticks so they don't need to co-exist... or do I need to go with 1.50v sticks?
Thanks!
