HP Pavilion Power 15 - RAM upgrade

[rona_94]

Hi, I would like to buy this notebook ( http://store.hp.com/ItalyStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=3FZ23EA&opt=ABZ&sel=NTB ), but reading the specs I see that it come with 16Gb of RAM and the maximum supported RAM is 16Gb. But why?

I mean, the chipset (HM175) and the DDR4 system should support 32Gb of RAM. In this case with 2 stick of 16Gb each (instead of the two of 8 each which the notebook comes with)

So, again, why in the specs HP say that the maximum is 16Gb? It has the same hardware of many competitor products that actually support 32Gb
Thank you

Hi,

The PC has been tested with 16GB of RAM and this is officially the max amount of RAM, However HP systems with DDR4 memory and 7th or 8th gen processors will run with 32 GB of DDR4 2400Mhz RAM. 

Hope it helps,

David

So if i replace the two 8gb stick of RAM, with 2 sticks of 16 gb DDR4 2400Mhz should be okay?
Is there someone who tested this and can confirm that ? (Don't get me wrong, I trust you, but would like to know if someone did it practically)
And will it cancel the warranty ?
Thank you so much

Yes it should work. I do not know if you will find anyone who can guarantee it. Here is a user who pu a 16GB stick in one slot and it works. Sames series as yours:

It is a accepted practice to upgrade RAM or hard drive and will not void warranty as long as you break nothing during upgrade.

On page 40 of service manual you can see the steps to upgrade RAM

Honestly I'm gonna buy the laptop next week, but that was just something i wanted to know for the future. At the start I think I will be fine with 16gb, but really happy that I can upgrade in future
Thank you again

Hello!)
I really do not know that I can write translations.
I was thinking about updating the memory in my HP pavilion 15-cb0xx.
I was going to disable the file so that it does not have resources.

On the laptop, you can put more than 16GB. Only HP, and everything is fine. And here I say that the 7th generation process supports the conditions of 64-grams, and AIDA 64.

But it is somehow difficult.

So is it possible to put more than 16 GB in a laptop?

For example, I want to put a capacity with its monuments from Samsung 2400Mhz 8GB to 24GB.

I want to be forced to double that does not suit me ((

I am from Ukraine, and I ordered this laptop in the Ukrainian online store Rozetka, where I wrote about this laptop in a review, can I use goodram 2400Mhz 16Gb of memory with 8GB Samsung 2400Mhz?

HP representatives answered me very quickly.
They said that it will work, but for better work you need to choose with the same frequency and teminga. But they did not say anything about maximum volume ...

So, I have a question: if I insert a 16 GB slot with the same timing and frequency in the second slot before 8 GB are already installed, will it wake me up to 24 GB? And I will not spend money in the empty?)

I updated the BIOS to the latest version F.18Rev.A 2019 27 May

Thanks in advance for the answer))
