Check if your RAM model is supported.
Hi, your Legion 5 is coming with an SK Hynix 8GB 3200MHz RAM. You're looking for a compatible upgrade that matches this setup without compatibility problems. Since you can't find the exact model locally, you've shared photos and details from your CPU ID. I found a couple of similar options, but it's important to verify their compatibility before purchasing. When searching for a match, pay attention to the RAM specifications—ensure the speed, capacity, and module type align with your system. Also check the physical dimensions and packaging to confirm they fit your motherboard. It’s best to get the same SK Hynix unit if possible, or consider a new one if you need both slots. Always double-check the datasheet or manufacturer site for confirmation.
The RAM you have is rated for 3200 MHz with CL22 (JEDEC #13), making it suitable for DDR4-3200, CL-22-22-22. This configuration matches the JEDEC approved speed/latency standard (DDR4-3200AA) and does not require overclocking (XMP). It’s a strong likelihood it will function properly.
The JEDEC #13 sets a standard that others follow. The DDR4-3200 uses a specific timing sequence of 22-22-22-22, which is key for its performance. Your RAM timing shown as 22-22-22-52 likely differs due to different chipset or motherboard configurations.
For compatibility, RAM modules must match in both speed and latency. If one is faster than the other, it will default to the slower one's speed if it also supports that setting. JEDEC standard #13 isn't special here; I just meant your RAM should match the specs of the one you're considering for compatibility. The Crucial stick is labeled CL22 for short or CL22-22-22 for long, but the fourth number (tRAS) isn't shown.
