no. but combining 1.35v with a 1.5v might create problem.
most laptops wit haswell cpus comes with low voltage ram only.
Thank you [MENTION=135617]rijinpk1[/MENTION] for the advice and warning.
In fact that's what [MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION] emphasized a few comments ago in this thread section.

Latest Info :--->
Flipkart disapproved the return of the 2nd Transcend 4GB DDR3 module.
It was my fault for not studying much about the functionalities + aspects of a laptop RAM and plunged directly to the specs. of type and frequency.The policy of Flipkart is clear in this case,and as the RAM itself is non-defective,so I can't insist them for a return/refund. In fact one of their service executive called me today at 4p.m. and with a caring,cordial,approach explained to me about Flipkart's inconvenience,regret and helplessness on the decision.

i suggest you try and sell it locally with its original bill and see if you get the price which you paid for it initially

Ultimately got the Crucial 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM (1.35v) at my office today(delivery address was assigned).

My Heartiest Thanksgiving + Salutations to [MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION],without whose guidance and genius knowledge,I would have groped in the dark.

To all @TDF,friends the new screenshots :--->

I think it's worth sharing - faced kinda similar situation yesterday - put 4GB corsair 1600 Mhz C11 with another corsair 4GB 1333 Mhz c9 module but the ram was showing 4GB only though they both are working fine separately. Anyway, at last had to pair the Corsair 1600 Mhz module with a kingston hyperx 1600 Mhz module and they are working fine at 1333 Mhz speed. It's strange world of memory modules ;) unless you buy some factory tested pairs.

whatever may be the specs,but voltage is the most important criterion for mtching RAM modules,at least in case of laptops.

Hierachy for choosing RAM modules both for laptops and desktops :--->

type = type

Volt* = Volt*

frequency = frequency(least priority)

* Matching is a must for laptops,may not be too essential for desktops.

yeah, I know on most of the modern laptops [ read haswell ] you can't mix and run ddr3 and ddr3L memory modules. But desktop has more flexibility and headroom for changes. Both of the corsair ram modules have same 1.5v but for some reason they decided not to work with each other :D It may be motherboard / bios limitation so I may test both on some other motherboard.

Update : the 1600 Mhz C11 and 1333 Mhz C9 [ Both from corsair ] module both worked fine together on a Intel motherboard so it was a mere compatibility issue with a AMD motherboard / Bios.
