I’m planning a RAM upgrade from 16GB to 32GB, as the vendor suggested that was the limit for my model. After checking, I discovered my laptop can actually hold 67,108,864 bytes—what seemed like 64GB when divided. Some articles mention that even if the system shows 64GB, performance might be limited by the motherboard speed or other factors. I’m a bit confused and not very familiar with these details, so I need some guidance. Here are my specs: Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22000, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics, BIOS version 3.3, and a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.
This suggests you might be able to install two 32GB sticks for your laptop, but there could be performance concerns. Some users mention that the computer might not fully use all the memory because of its processor speed. The board speed itself doesn’t seem to limit RAM usage.
I haven't come across that before, are you certain that's the message they conveyed? Performance constraints can arise from memory speed, for instance, RAM exceeding 3600 MHz isn't typically beneficial on Ryzen systems, though actual limits depend on the CPU's memory controller capabilities. Still, understanding your needs is key—gaming usually requires around 32 GB, and while 64 GB offers more capacity, it's often unnecessary.
I’m a 3D Artist who upgraded my laptop’s RAM from 8GB to 16GB by adding an 8GB stick. While working, I noticed performance drops during rendering, which makes sense. My system quickly reaches 16GB usage, so I was considering a 32GB upgrade. However, checking memory capacity revealed a CMD command showing 64GB support, which contradicts the vendor’s limit. For video editing, which is also memory-heavy, I need more info. I’m unsure if I should create a new topic, but I’m curious—how can I stress-test RAM locally before buying?
Sure, for that scenario it really does have merit. You might consider using tools like memtest86, provided they support RAM testing on a machine. However, it could be quite time-consuming with such a large memory size. It might be better to create a new thread in the memo subforum to gather more insights from others.
I installed OCCT after checking the website, which seemed to be the best option. Appreciate the details!
