Question I just bought the Legion 5I Pro 16IRX8 - Type 82WK 13700hx Ram Upgrade

[Dankmemes187]

is it possible to use Ram with frequency above 4800? i understand there was a bios update for the 13900h to allow it to use 5200...

also i have heard of XPS to allow updates to the ram frequency... does anyone know if you can safely update the frequency using XPS even by just a little bit....

Im asking cause i want to buy Ram and its 70 dollars cheaper for the 4800 frequency... but i would buy the higher frequency if i could safely update the BIOS

Checking the CPU from Intel's website, it seems that it can only support up to DDR5 4800MHz. I think you can buy 4800MHz memory to try it out so that it works even if you can't overclock it to 5200MHz.

so you're saying just be safe about it... gotcha thanks...

bonus question... for 60$ dollars more i can get cl38 vs cl40.... for 60$ im hoping for much faster performance... keep note im using video editing software and games like cities skylines that loves single core performance...
