Ram Upgrade in a 15-fc000 (733M5AV)

[Aesir1]

i've seen some posts now, but haven't seen a definitive answer. i have 16 GB and trying to upgrade to 32 GB

I have a HP 15-fc0077od, according to HP its a 16 GB DDR4-3200 MT/s (2x 8 GB).

form factor according to the task manager is SODDIM.

is this upgradable? or am i stuck at 16 GB

@Aesir1,

Your model comes with a Ryzen 7 7730U processor.

According to this HP document, your 16 GB memory is installed in the slots and removable.

Crucial indicates your model' can support max 64 GB (2x32 GB) DDR4-3200 memory.

You can run the wmic command for the Max RAM your notebook can support.

If it reports 32 GB or more, you can most likely install 2 x 16 GB memory.

That doesn't seem to be right.

AMD's specs for your processor indicate that it supports max 64 GB (2x32 GB) DDR4-3200.

If you really want 32 GB, you can try Crucial's 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 memory. They guarantee compatibility. if it doesn't work, perhaps, you'll have an easy return.  It's up to you.

does corsair work as well? its cheaper at my local best buy

[tk_srq]

 Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston Fury or any other performance/gaming memory may cause a compatibility issue with HP notebooks. It's best to avoid those brands.

HP usually uses Micron (Crucial), Samsung and SK Hynix memory.

ok, thanks for the info, and i found this:

Memory Layout (Slots & Size)	2 x 8 GB
Memory Module Type	DIMM
Memory Size	16
Memory Size UOM	GB
Memory Slots Number	2
Memory Speed	3200
Memory Speed UOM	MT/s
Memory Standard (facet) (GB)	16
Memory Storage Simplified	16 GB memory; 256 GB SSD storage
Memory Type	DDR4

does it mean that is a regular dimm slot, or still so-dimm?

[tk_srq · Accepted solution]

Notebook PCs need SODIMM type of memory.

looking at Crucial report and AMD specs I previously posted, your notebook probably handles 32 GB memory, but I just can't guarantee. If you still want to try 32 GB, just use plain standard 2 x 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL22 SODIMM memory.
