Which speed can I use for RAM?

[Moohman]

Hi,

I want to upgrade my RAM and am wondering if I can put in a memory stick that has a higher speed. 

At the moment it has an 8GB memory stick with a speed of 2133Mhz. 

If so, which are compatible with my HP Pavilion Laptop 14-bk0xx laptop?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi, Andy:

What model processor does your notebook have?

All of the processors I see listed in the service manual can only run the memory at a max speed of 2133 MHz.

You can install DDR4-2400 or faster memory but it is only going to run at 2133 MHz if your notebook has one of the Intel processors listed in chapter 1 of the service manual.

Hi Paul, 

Thanks for your reply.

My laptop has an Intel i5-7200U CPU @2.50GHZ

I`ll have a look in the link you gave if I can use a 2400Mhz . It`s ok if it runs at the normal speed, It is just that this is the one I have available.

You're very welcome.

Yes, the faster speed memory will work just fine for you.

This would be the compatible 8 GB memory chip I recommend for your notebook...
