What is the maximum ram speed i can install in it? Is it possible for my laptop to run at higher speed? Like 2133mhz or higher? What is the maximum it can run at?

 

The laptop has rams already intalled. They're 2GB 1Rx16 PC4-2400T-SC0-11 and 4GB 1Rx16 PC4-2400T-SC0-11. And i don't  know what speed are those.

Do you understand this:

 

There is no way for the memory speed to be increased beyond 1866 mhz. 

 

??? You can install DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2400 but it will run at 1866 mhz. Its a limitation of the AMD platform for your type of processor.

No here is how the memory is described:

 

DDR4-1866 dual channel support
(DDR4-2400 bridge to DDR4-2133, and
DDR4-2133 downgrade to DDR4-1866)

 

So you have DDR4-2400 modules and they will downclock (bridge) to 1866 speed. There is no way for the memory speed to be increased beyond 1866 mhz.  You can install up to 16 gb (2 times eight gig modules). Since you have a 2 gb and a 4 gb you are not running in dual channel mode and memory bandwidth (not speed) would be increased by installing a matched pair of modules like 2 x 4 or 2 x 8. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Yes, i understand that. It's just that why would i upgrade to 2133mhz or 2400mhz if i will run only at 1866mhz.

 

Thank you!

HP Recommended

Because there is no such thing as an 1866 module. 2133 is even not as common as 2400. Either will work in your laptop at 1866 speed.

Now i know. Thank you, sir.
