PC3L-10600R memory modules in Mac Pro 2009,2010,2012

[Spacedust]

Will such memory work in a Mac Pro ?

Can I mix 6x 8 GB PC3-10600R modules with 2x 16 GB PC3L-10600R ?

Both are 2Rx4.

Why?

Are the L chips cheaper (I suspect not)

They'd probably work.

What's the difference beetween PC3-10600R and PC3L-10600R ?

"L" stands for low voltage. If EFI does not lower voltage it could unnecessarily overheat.

No.

Just because they are 1.35V rated does not mean they wouldn't work perfectly still at 1.5V.

I said it could. I see no point of getting low voltage RAM for workstation. 0.15v is not much, but still it depends on RAM BGA chips. I would not want to risk, probably no one have tried L RAM in Mac Pro.

There is no could about it, it just wouldn't happen 😛
