Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-d1 (53F51AV)

Hello,

 

I curretnly have a Victus 16-d1047nt that i have been using for more than a year now.

 

I am very happy with the General performance of the Notebook, except for the display which is not great. But other than that it is the best quality/price notebook on the market. 

 

I want to upgrade the RAM and SSD on it. I currently run 8Gb of Ram with 510gb of SSD.

 

My question is as follow : what is the highest capacity of Ram and speed I can put on ?

I know there is 2 slot and I am planning for 16+16 4800mhz.

Is there a second M1 slot ?

What is the speed rating for this/these slot ? Would I be able to run a 6400mbs M1 SSD on it ? Or should I keep the 3000mbs SSD on it ?

 

Thank you for your helps.

 

PS: I felt the need to write. Post here because I did not find any reliable info on it.

Installed memory maximum per HP

There is no second slot for an additional SSD.

Correction: there is a second slot for an SSD.

Verified and shown in an image by the OP in this thread. The manuals fail to show that it is present.

 

You can upgrade the SSD to 2 TB

The type of SSD is PCIe Gen 4.0  x4 NVMe TLC M.2 (2280)

 

The bandwidth for a PCIe Gen 4.0  x4 slot is up to 2 GB/s

Hi. Thank you for the post.

I just bought yesterday a samsung M2 SSD 990pro gen4 and 32 gb of 4800mhz rams. I hope i will be able to install them without any issue.

 

I will post back once it is installed and running.

So, i just finished installing the ram and M2 on the computer and it runs fine.

 

But I need to add some notes for people. As you can see in the photo there is actually 2 M2 Slot ND both are working. So I added my second M2 as a secondary SSD. Now I have 2,5Tb of memory great!

 

It was ki d of scary to open the laptop as the fit is very tight and kind of scary. So don't rush and don't push everything should be fine. 

 

The computer now sees the 32Gb of RM which is great. 

 

Just had a little scare at the first boot after installing because it took a little bit of time and gave me a CMOS error but rebooted itself and solved like a champ. I am planning to swap my windows to the new hard drive. 

 

Last note do not forget to peel the plastic on the heat sink. Otherwise you might overheat.

I would like to thank you for providing the firsthand information about the additional SSD slot. I edited my post to include it so it is shown when others with the same question can easily find it with a simple internet or AI search.

You are welcome! It definitely was the goal here. As I could not also be sure if a second slot was available or not. 

I really hope this will help someone. And thank you for the previous reply. 👍

Hi everyone, I previously made a post about upgrading my laptop SSD and Ram.

To make it short there is 2 slot of M2 on my Laptop. I needed to add a second M2, which I did by adding it to the second slot.

The laptop ran fine and everything seemed to run fine.

I later noticed a recurring problem with my graphic card. The system did not recognized the graphic card, sometime it did then crashed sometime it seemed unplugged.

 

This started to be a problem as i tried many solution without any solution. I later thiught about it. Basically the laptop cannot handle 2 M2 and a graphic card. Can be many reason behind it, which i cannot be sure of, but after removing the old 512GB M2 the graphic card started wirking again without any priblem.

 

so for people wanting to add a secon M2 like me om a Victus, do not replace it as it will cancel you graphic card. And it will even crash sometime under heavy load.
