Can my HP Pavilion dv7t-6000 CTO with Intel i7 processor be upgraded to 16gb as per the manual?
Memory finders are not showing any more the 8gb upgrades.

Hi

Well yes it can, HOWEVER as you have found out that particular memory module is no longer made and suppliers are out of stock.

Unfortunately I aint much help, and regret having to suggest the 'used' market for a match.

Yes, I see what you mean.

I ran a couple of searches, and couldn't find any either.

However, many forum members have upgraded their dv6/7t-6000/6100 Intel models with 2 x 8 GB of memory.

Also when you look at the service manual you referenced, it shows the 16 GB memory upgrade info in chapter 1 on page 6 for notebooks with the intel processors.

Just make sure if you get the memory, you buy memory with 8 little black chips on each side, not 4, and it has to be 1.5V, not 1.35V.

I see memory meeting those specs in the PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) speed, but they are not cheap.

Does this look like a good match?

Hi

Dare not say.

One change is that some modules are 1.35 volts and others 1.2  or 1.5 volts so that is a consideration.

Hi, @GoCallDave

Yes, that memory checks all of the boxes, and should work just fine in your notebook.

Very good price too.
