Supported maximum RAM capacity for the Asus G513RM-HQ092 laptop.
Supported maximum RAM capacity for the Asus G513RM-HQ092 laptop.
I recently purchased a new laptop - Asus G513RM-HQ092. Right now I have 16GB or 32GB of RAM, but it doesn’t meet my needs since I often run memory-intensive applications for work. Ideally I’d want around 10GB or more, and if not, I’d prefer 64GB. According to the specifications, my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, which can actually handle 64GB - see https://www.amd.com/en/product/11546. The page also mentions ECC support (requires platform support). It seems the manufacturer might have adjusted the specs based on the motherboard. On the official site, the maximum RAM listed is 32GB for this model. I’m unsure whether to buy 32GB (two slots) or 64GB (two slots), since the laptop only has two RAM slots. My questions are: 1. Is this machine compatible with 64GB RAM? 2. Does single-rank vs dual-rank matter for these specs? Can I use any DDR5 SODIMM modules? 3. If I get the maximum supported amount, what would be the best module choice?
With 10GB of RAM you still require more than 16GB because the laptop uses a 2-slot configuration. Each slot holds 16GB, but since there are only two slots, the maximum is 32GB total—but the motherboard only supports two slots, limiting performance to 16GB. The chip can theoretically handle four slots for 64GB, but hardware constraints cap it at 16GB in this design.
I decided to dig a bit deeper. Someone with the same CPU and a Lenovo laptop had the exact same issue. It worked for that person. From what I know, the CPU typically has only two RAM slots, so it makes sense it can handle the maximum amount with just two sticks. Also, ASUS didn’t mention you can’t run 1x32GB, which means it wouldn’t be strange if 2x32GB would fit if the CPU supports 64GB. I think I’ll go for 64GB next time. Dealing with returns won’t be easy, but now it seems possible.
Asus stated clearly: "Memory Max. 32GB." This suggests the laptop isn't functioning optimally at the moment. It seems they didn't provide detailed limitations, just mentioned a 32GB maximum instead of specifying per-slot limits or total capacity. Asus hasn't verified a 64GB setup, possibly because such configurations weren't tested or were uncommon during their evaluation. It appears there was an error in the specifications, maybe AMD had different CPU details initially, and Asus used outdated specs. Overall, it works fine, and I'm satisfied with the result.
