RAM UPGRADE 3567

Question

Hello, I own a laptop inspiron 15 3567. I wanted to upgrade my ram so I boughta new one. The ram my system has right now is DDR4 4GB 2400T. Unfortunately the new ram is DDR4 8GB 2133 and did not work. Link of new ram https://www.ramcity.com.au/products/ddr4-2133-sodimm-cmso8gx4m1a2133c15 I d like to know why this ram is not compatible. Is it because of the T jedec? Is it because of the CL? Is it because if the mhz?   And also what exactly specs need to have a new ram in order to match with the one my Dell already has.

Installing slower RAM than you currently have is usually not a recipe for compatibility success -- beyond that, "Value" RAM is just that - the cheapest available memory chips on the most cheaply designed and made module.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Larry Laffer

As far as compatibility is concerned it should be???

Inspiron 15 3000 Setup and Specifications:

Incompatibility could be as simple as one stick with 4 chips per side and one with 8 chips per side???

I keep a wide verity of 8GB DDR4 memory sticks for testing and populating laptops for resale.

Some will work as others may not.

I still have not found out exactly why this happens.

Best regards,

The corsair i got has 8 chips total. The dell s one has 16.   What about CAS Latency? does it matter? Both 15 and 17 are compatible with my motherboard?
