Maximum upgrade options (RAM, SSD) for HP Victus 16-r0073cl (7N4X6UA)

[BALDECASH]

Hi everyone, I want to increase my device's performance.

My Questions:
• Does the device have two M.2 2280 Gen 4 slots?
• Can I use an M.2 2280 4TB Gen4 NVMe on the device?
• Does the device support up to 64GB DDR5 5600 MHz RAM?

Help please.

Hi:

Since your notebook has an Intel i7-13700HX processor, it does have support for two M.2 NVMe SSDs.

Neither chapters 1 or 5 of the service manual indicate the PCIe slot generation for the second slot, but it would be unwise to buy a Gen 3.0 SSD and find out the slot was indeed Gen 4.0.

All the manual indicates is HP only offered PCIe Gen 4 x 4 SSDs in the model series.

Chapter 1 of the service manual has the memory upgrade information.

Unofficially the notebook should support 2 x 32 GB of memory:

You can use DDR5-5600 MHz memory, but it will only run at a maximum speed of 4800 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook can run the memory at.
