Product: HP 17-CN1053CL

Hi community,

 

What is the maximum I can upgrade the RAM to for my new HP 17-CN1053CL? It currently has 8GB DDR4 3200, and I want to upgrade to 32GB. Possible? If so, any suggestions on which RAM I should buy?

Hi:

 

According to chapter 1 of the service manual, your notebook supports 2 x 8 GB of memory.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

The Crucial memory report for your notebook indicates that it can support up to 2 x 32 GB of memory.

 

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.

 

If you want to upgrade to 32 GB of memory, I recommend this Crucial 32 GB kit:

 

Crucial 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT2K16G4SFRA32A | Crucial.com
