I want to know how much RAM I can expand in laptop HP Pavilion Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 5600H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 whose model is 15-EC2145AX. It has two slots, and it comes with 8 GB of RAM.

Hi:

You should be able to install up to 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory in your notebook.

You can do this to see how much memory your notebook can actually support.

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and hit enter.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

I'm pretty sure you will find that it supports 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

HP only has the service manual for the older 15-ec models on your notebook's support page, and if you look at chapter 1,it shows that 2 x 16 GB of memory is supported in the older models.

Well, it's a Ryzen 5 laptop, so I think it's weird that it supports only 16GB of RAM, shouldn't it be supporting 32GB?

As I wrote above, it should, since 2 x 16 GB was supported in the older models with the Ryzen 3xxx processors.

Dear @akkichoudhary 

Both types of Ryzen 3xx and  Ryzen™ 5 5xxx support 32 GB, the problem is that the Service Manual is not updated and there is an error, see page 1.

Supports up to 32 GB maximum system memory in the following configurations
● 16 GB (16 GB × 1 or 8 GB × 2)
● 12 GB (8 GB × 1 + 4 GB × 1)
● 8 GB (8 GB × 1 or 4 GB × 2)

@Desync 

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Both of us posted that the notebook would support 32 GB of memory and that is what your report indicated.

So how can be both be wrong, when be both indicated that 32 GB of memory was supported?

It is the service manual that is outdated when it indicates the max is 16 GB.
