Upgrading lappy

[nyoptimist]

Hi

I am about to upgrade my laptop, a "OMEN av HP – 15-dc1877nr" i7cpu

So I wonder if this memory is compatible "Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 3200MHz 64GB", it is a 2x32gb

and a "WD BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD 2TB"

Using the lappy for video, photo and music creation, so 1TB hdd and 16gb ram is to little and got some lagg when trying to run Ableton live.

Hi:

According to the Crucial memory report for your notebook, it should support 2 x 32 GB of memory.

Not sure about the memory.

I think that if you install DDR4-3200 MHz memory it has to have a CL22 timing spec and from what I saw from the Kingston memory you posted, that has a much faster CL of 16.

Your notebook's processor runs the memory at 2666 MHz.

Run this free utility that I zipped up and attached below and it should provide the CL speed of the memory HP installed, which according to the specs is DDR4-2666 MHz, and will most likely have a CL speed of 19.

The 2 TB NVMe SSD you want to buy should work fine but note that since your notebook's NVMe slot is only Gen 3, you will not get the maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 4 SSD.

This table provides the maximum transfer speeds each PCIe slot generation can provide:
