    It should be standard DDR3 SODIMM modules, not DDR3L, on the HM76 chipset. Low voltage memory came into fashion more with the HM86 chipset and Haswell.

    Interesting. I came across this afterward also: Ivy Bridge + Panther Point

    It looks like DDR3L is compatible. I knew that 1.5v worked on the HM86 chipset, but with the low power states of Haswell, 1.35v became more widely implemented. I didn't know the reverse was true for the last gen.

    Good find. :) You should be able to use that memory then.

    It's down to the manufacturer if they implemented 1.35V support or not, but all the 1.35V modules I know of take 1.5V just fine.
