Compatibility of DDR3 8GB PC3 Memory with PC3L - Voltage Differences and Risks

Question

Hello help please will these two memory sticks work together
I have a DDR3 8GB PC3 memory from an old computer I wanted to put it in the new one but I don't know if I can and I wouldn't want to burn something and I know that PC3 and PC3L are at different voltages. But I have read on some forums that it works for some so maybe I can do it too. Please help:) Below pictures of the memory and motherboard.
Greetings

The PC3s work on 1.5V and the PC3Ls on 1.35V but most L-modules are dual voltage. I checked, your PC3Ls are on 1.35/1.5V according to the specifications, so they will work.

As you can see, however, something is not cooperating there. After inserting the PC3 die, the computer tries to boot but still it doesn't work out))) So I guess I will have to suffice with 8GB:) .

Ah, because I looked at it the other way around. If you had PC3 memory in the computer, you could add PC3L, then both would work on 1.5V. But if you give it the other way around (which would mean that the RAM on the board is powered by 1.35V) then that PC3 won't work. You can still go into the BIOS and set the RAM supply voltage to 1.5V. It should help.

I wouldn't want to mess up and I'm afraid of the BIOS:) I have two options there Quick and expert. I understand that in which option (probably in expert in my opinion) there is a change of voltage and if I change the voltage I will not burn something or crash this new memory bone?? I am always afraid to mess with the BIOS.

Simple boards are reasonably safe to tinker with, at most they won't turn on. Boards dedicated to squeezing the last juices out of components have a fair share of safety features replaced by warnings, and here it's easy to screw something up. You are unlikely to be in danger of this.In the first screen shot you have DDR Voltage profiles. Set it to 1.5V or as close to that value as possible. At most it won't turn on. But don't exceed say 1.6V.

Most likely one of the memory slots is defective; hence my problem.
