What is the ram max frequency compatible with this model Pavilion Gaming 15-cx0139tx?

Hi:

The fastest speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at is 2666 MHz, so installing any memory faster than 2666 MHz will just run at 2666 MHz anyway.

Hi, sorry for asking again. I would just like to know where and how did you confirm it.

I search on crucial and it suggests 3200 MHz. (https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-gaming-15-cx0139tx). I just wonder if it really can reach 3200MHz, or the thing you said that the max is 2666MHz.

P.S.

Is the original ram in the product also removable? I would like to upgrade 2 sticks of 16Gb 3200MHz, 3200MHz is only available in the store.

Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your notebook.

HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0139tx Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

See the memory spec...2666 MHz.

See the Intel specs on the processor your notebook has...2666 MHz is the max speed it can run the memory at.

Intel® Core™ i5-8300H Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) Product Specifications

The 3200 MHz memory will work fine...but only at 2666 MHz.

The memory is removable.  See chapter 5 of the service manual for the memory removal and replacement procedure.
