I am planning to buy either P150SM-A or P65xSx soon and swap the RAM from my current laptop. This is the RAM I have on my Y580:
HyperX Plug n Play 16GB (2x8GB)
1600MHz CL9 1.5V
I just bought this because it was on promotion.
G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (1x8GB)
1600MHz CL9 1.35V
As far as I know, both laptops state this in their specs page
-Dual channel DDR3L
-Four 204 pins SODIMM sockets, support DDR3L 1600 MHz ( Real operation frequency depends on processor)
Is it ok if I mix all 3 SODIMMs in those computer? Is there any risk at all?

Yeah, the risk is that the new platform only supports 1.35V RAM modules.
Use the 1.5V modules at your own risk.
Btw; warranty won't cover this.D2 Ultima and edwardamin13 like this. -

So looks like it's not a good idea to do this if I can avoid it. I found this thread : Upgraders: 1.35V memory is required!!
and lots of other link on google regarding avoiding 1.65V RAM in 1.5V slot. Sigh -

1.5V should work in the Ivy Bridge notebooks.. Its only in Haswell that 1.35V memory is required but I've seen cases where 1.5V memory still works.. So for OP who has an Ivy Bridge notebook it shouldn't be a problem..

The RoG's thread OP said: Yes it will work but under extensive stress (gaming/video encoding etc) you can get overheating depending on the DIMMs used. 1.5+V is generally not advised for long term use either, but a few weeks won't hurt.
Oh, theoretically I can swap 3630QM with 4710QM if the issues is because of IB vs Haswell. That means I have to get P150SM-A (for socketed CPU) and live with older processor :/ -

Mixing 2x8 GB 1.5V RAM with 1x8 GB 1.35V in P150SM-A/P65xSx?
