Hello, I would be glad if you could help me.

 

intel Core i5 8265U processor motherboard model 8533

 

I will upload the ram screen as a picture.

I want to upgrade the ram. TURKEY HP CONTACT told me that I can install a maximum of 2 x 8 ram and that it is 3200 Mhz, but I saw somewhere in your topic that the maximum is 32 GB. I will share the CPU-Z screens with you. Do you think I will install a Kingston brand ram and how many GB and how many MHz do you think it supports?

Hi:

 

Since your notebook has an Intel® Core™ i5-8265U processor, those will normally support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

 

You can run this command to see if your notebook will support 2 x 16 GB of memory:

 

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

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. After the 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.

 

If the report indicates 33,xxx,xxx then you can install 2 x 16 GB of memory.

 

The max speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at is 2400 MHz.

 

You can install DDR4-2666 CL19 memory, or DDR4-3200 CL22 memory, but it will only run at 2400 MHz.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the memory removal and replacement procedure:

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 250 G7 Notebook PC

 

Your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports the fast performing M.2 NVMe SSD's, so if your notebook has a 2.5" mechanical hard drive you may want to consider installing a NVMe SSD.

So I did it in cmd, uploaded a picture, calculated its parts and used 32GB.

So which brand of NVMe SSD do you recommend? 

HP Recommended

Lastly, which one would you recommend? Which one can I get more efficiency from? DDR4-2666 CL19 memory or DDR4-3200 CL22

HP Recommended

Yes, you should be able to run 2 x 16 GB of memory with no problem.

 

This would be another recommended 16 GB DDR4-3200 memory chip for your notebook:

 

Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT16G4SFRA32A | Crucial.com

 

Either speed would be fine since the memory is only going to run at 2400 MHz no matter which one you go with.

 

For a SSD, I'd go with a Western Digital Blue SN570 Gen 3.0 SSD if you can find one.

 

I don't think WD makes them anymore and has moved on to the SN580.

 

If not, go with the SN580 PCIe Gen 4.0.

 

It won't run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from a Gen 3.0 slot, but it still will be faster than a SATA SSD or a mechanical hard drive.

You're very welcome. 

 

Glad to have been of assistance.
