Hi:

 

Installing any memory faster than 2400 MHz is only going to run at 2400 MHz because that as fast as your notebook's i7-7700HQ processor can run the memory at.

 

Installing faster gaming memory usually doesn't work because you can't change any of the timing specs in the BIOS.

 

The notebook is designed to use the standard timing (CL) specs designed for the speed of memory.

 

I recommend you use this compatible Crucial memory for your notebook...

 

Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT8G4SFS824A | Crucial.com

 

BTW, your notebook can support up to 2 x 16 GB of memory if you are interested, and this would be the compatible 16 GB memory chip.

One more thing is this https://www.morele.net/pamiec-do-laptopa-crucial-sodimm-ddr4-16-gb-2400-mhz-cl17-ct2k8g4sfs824a-8820... same as this https://www.morele.net/pamiec-do-laptopa-crucial-sodimm-ddr4-8-gb-2400-mhz-cl17-ct8g4sfs824a-858239/ ?

I got confused because it should be the same but theres about 30 USD price difference the dual one (1st link) is about 110 USD and when i take 2 separate ones its about 140 USD.

Which should i get ?

Hi:

 

Yes, if the 2 x 8 GB kit is cheaper than buying two separate 8 GB chips, get the 16 GB kit.

 

The kit part number is also listed as compatible for your notebook's model series.
