I have acer aspire E5-511 and i want to upgrade my ram to 8gb, but i cant find DDR3L(SO-DIMM) 1333MHz ram in my city but i found DDR3L(SO-DIMM) with 1600MHz. Does it affect my laptop? And if i  put in there 1600MHz then i will need to change settings ? idk thanks for help:)

    Just about any DDR3L laptop module 1333MHz or faster should work fine.  Faster modules automatically downshift to whatever your mainboard bus speed is allowed. So 1600MHz should work well. Jack E/NJ
