Memory upgrade Asus G751

[Padam87]

Hi,

I have an ASUS G751 with 8 gigs of RAM. I would like to upgrade it, but I ran into a problem.

The notebook has 4 slots, and a single 8GB module in slot #4. Only slot #1&2 are accessible from the back panel, and installing a module in #3 would void warranty. (Statement from Asus)

The pre installed module is a Hynix 1600Mhz 1.35v 8Gb stick (HMT41GS6BFR8A-PB).

I was thinking about buying this: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series Model F3-2133C11D-16GRSL
(and another set of when the warranty is up)

Would it work with the Ripjaws in slot #1&2, and the original in #4? (different channels)

I know mixing is not the best idea, but I really don't want to buy an 1600mhz set, and throw it out a year from now...

Thanks.

Asus ROG G751 supports max 4 x 8 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz.

Better to go with 1600 MHz memory. If you mix 1600 MHz and 2133 MHz, it will still run at 1600 MHz, provided the system has the capability to under-clock the memory to operate at 1600 MHz.

According to the asus forum people use 4x8 2133mhz successfully with late model G751, which mine is.

Running on 1600 would be fine and expected, I'm not worried about that. I've read that people had issues with mixed pairings, like one CL9 and one CL11 module on the same channel. Should I expect the same problems in the scenario I described above, even if the different modules are on a separate channel?

They should work without issues. You can down-clock the timings of the DDR3L 2133 MHz if there is an issue.
