I am a complete novice when it comes to RAM. I bought owc 16gb for my macbookpro through a third party. I looked at owc's website, and it does not show if my computer is compatible with the bought RAM, but shows my computer compatible with a different set of RAM.
What I bought: 2 x 8.0GB 1600MHz DDR3L SO-DIMM PC12800 204 Pin

What I should have bought: 2 x 8.0GB PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz 204 Pin

I have trying to do my research, so bus speed does not matter too much since my computer will downgrade it. But I hear I have to watch out for is the voltage? What I bought has 1.35v and what I should have bought is 1.5v. Will that difference be detrimental or can I still use this RAM and not return it?
