    Anyway few month ago I got a lag with some game titles (Stellaris at end game so lag not too different?) anyway it got worse so I check found nothing wrong except this 111.PNG
    Unusually it cock around 1200Mhz but wtf happens here? it's dropped almost half, so I did a test and remove one of the rams and found it return back to 1200Mhz then switch but when I plug both this happens...

    Yes, it's 6gig because one 4GB ram died, so I install the old 2GB (OEM one) because the store doesn't have ddr3 (because of lockdown and DDR4), also this is on my laptop...

    The one I can only think is buy new ram online (there only 1 stock left so I can't buy for both slot) also is fine to slot DDR3L on normal DDR3 slot?

    by default, RAM speed will follow the slowest one installed.

    click on the SPD tab. you can check each of the stick's spec there. (post here too, if you don't mind)

    RAM speed is based on the slowest. If you have 3 sticks of RAM at 800MHz and 1 stick at 665MHz, all of them will run at 665MHz.

    yes, DDR3L is backward compatible.

    from your second screenshot, it appears both your ram are 1600Mhz, judging by the 1st ss, it is already running in dual-channel, so your board only has two slots, is that correct?

    it probably just means the OEM stick is not fully compatible with with either your board, or the other stick, or both.

    you can try checking in the bios for the RAM Frequency settings. see if you can force it back to 1600. it should look somewhat similar to example below (sorry for the low-q image, i just extract it from a pdf)

    what is your board model, btw?

    local sell, i presume? try first, pay later style, was it. got several somewhat similar occurrence myself, unfortunately. i still saw some of them every once in a while. they act like things never happened. either they really forget, or just face skin made of brick.

    Yeah, because I just too lazy to do a memtest before selling. It's in static bags for quite a few months.
    So yeah, try first pay later.
