Memory Upgrade

[BFGaming]

Hi,

I have recently purchased this laptop and I have two questions.

1) I want to upgrade my RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB, however, if I purchase a ram myself and add it to the laptop will it void the warranty.

2) The ram installed in the system is Samsung SODIMM 3200 MHz 8 GB ram, if I add a similar 8 GB SODIMM 3200MHz ram but from a different brand i.e Kingston/crucial will it have a negative impact, or do I need both the ram from the same company.

Thanks.

A1.  Warranty is a grey/gray area very hard to say in concrete. For new generation machines, adding something or fixing something is a work for Authorized Service Provider parts . You can add yourself. If something went wrong due to this upgrade, I think HP would not honor warranty.

A2. ROT of dual channels RAM is to have same specs and for the best use same vendor. Samsung RAM is available everywhere, why not use the same. In many cases better RAM does not make machines run better.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards.
