Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb3000 (A8RU3AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hi, I wish to upgrade my ram capacity from one stick of 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s CL46 to two sticks (add one of same/similar specifications). I've checked my laptop's capacity stating I can go up to 32GB on hp's official store, and even more (256GB) on AMD's driver website. I'm worried that after upgrading my Victus' motherboard defaults the speed back to 4800MT/s. This is due to the fact that I had the unpleasant experience of upgrading my old HP Pavilion laptop up to the max specifications supported by the CPU (i5-8250u), yet it defaulting back to DDR4 2133 MT/s. If upgrading isn't a issue, what would I need to take note when purchasing ram for it? Do I need to make sure it's single sided, single/dual rank? 

 

My specs:

HP Victus 15 fb-3721ax

AMD Ryzen 5 8465HS

NVIDIA RTX 4050

16GB DDR5 5600 MT/s CL46

512GB m.2 NVME Gen4x4 WD SN5000s
