Memory Upgrade - Can't Find Specific Model or Maximum Limit

[steamship]

I currently have 16GB of Samsung DDR5 4800MHz memory on the laptop, and am considering upgrading. Depending on cost, I might go as far as 64GB, instead of just 32GB, but I can't find any specific information on my exact laptop.

The sticker on the box and the laptop show it as a HP Omen 16.1 gaming laptop, 16-n0500na. There is next to nothing on Google, except for some spare parts, and I can't even find anything on the HP site about it.

I want to know the maximum amount of memory it can take, and also if it is capable of running DDR5 5600MHz memory

Chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual indicates the maximum memory is 2 x 16 GB.

Maintenance and Service Guide

You can install DDR5-5600 MHz memory but it is only going to run at 4800 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook's processor can run the memory at.

You can run this command to see if your notebook might support 64 GB of memory:

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 press the enter key.

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.

Many thanks for the link to the PDF manual.

It's a shame that it has a 32GB limit, and since it will only run at 4800MHz, there's no point spending extra for the 5600MHz equivalent.

You're very welcome.
