How does the adapter from SO-DIMM to desktop DDR3 affect memory performance?

Question

Iron

There was not enough memory. And in the process of studying the available options, I came across such a device: Also available is laptop RAM. The adapter costs significantly less than a new module, but how does it affect memory performance? Are delays increasing? Is it safe? Is it efficient? (after all, RAM must be fast, and how such a significant increase in the length of electrical tracks will affect it is unclear)

Answer 1

does not affect in any way.

Answer 2

If you really want to compare - take a magnifying glass, read the names of mikruh, download datasheets, compare timings. Memory always runs at the worst module speed.

Answer 3

The adapter will introduce a delay, but in modern processors, the DDR controller automatically adjusts to the delays on the tracks of the printed circuit board. Will work.

Answer 4

Question from the field of "abortion by photography." Looking at the picture, it is impossible to say how well the tracks on this board are routed. And this may well create a problem: https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/blog/lengt... The
memory runs at very high frequencies, so anything is possible. For example, longer traces can make noise levels worse due to induction (say, if you have a crappy power supply or have a PWM fan speed controller in your case). This does not mean that the negative effect will be necessarily, but its probability increases.

Answer 5

in theory, the speed is limited only by the chipset, and the adapter should not affect

Answer 6

Doesn't affect in any way. Only there is a risk that it will not work. Since such prelude is very often defective.
