HP Omen Max 16 2025 ddr5 and nve slot support single or double sided?

I need to know if DDR5 slots and NVMe M.2 slots support double-sided modules, as I need this information for an upgrade. Does anyone know about this?

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

Maintenance and Service Guide OMEN MAX 16 inch Gaming Laptop PC Model number: 16-ah0xxx

Your notebook has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 32 GB of DDR5-5600 MHz memory.

I can't find a picture of the memory part number HP installed. 

The picture in the parts list only shows one side of the board, and any general internet searches show the same.

The parts list indicates your notebook came with 1 x 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory.

Double sided NVMe SSD's will not fit in the slot.

The drive is inside a thermal enclosure which you can see in chapter 5 of the service manual.

You can usually find single sided drives up to 4 TB.

Your notebook supports PCIe 5x4 drives and HP included one of those in your notebook according to the parts list.

Thank you for mentioning PartSurfer. I found the DDR5 RAM using the part number (P/N) from the images and searched for it on Google. Most results indicate it’s single-sided (8 chips on one side), but some show it as double-sided with 4 chips on each side. I’m unsure why the same P/N has two different RAM types. However, I’ll opt for single-sided DDR5 if an upgrade is necessary.

Similarly, for the 2TB NVMe M.2 (N77396-005), my search showed it’s a Samsung SSD that is single-sided.
