Hi all. I am trying to upgrade my RAM and have hit a few snags. My specs are below as well as what is recommended and what I have tried so far.
System Specs:
Dell G16 7620
Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H (20 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 12
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Display Memory: 14043 MB
Then, according to CPU-Z:
Type: DDR5 / Size: 16GB
Slot 1 and 2 both say:
DDR 5 / Module Size: 8GB
Max Bandwidth: DDR5-4800 (2400MHz)
When I go to the Crucial website, it recommends this RAM:
Crucial 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR5-5600 SODIMM
https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr5/CT2K16G48C40S5
Can anyone tell me if this is compatible? I see DDR5-4800 listed above, does 5600 not work because there is also an option for 4800? I am just trying to get to 32GB. I already tried Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 SODIMM 16GB (2x16GB) DDR5 4800MHz, and it wouldn’t boot afterwards so I put the original RAM back in. Any tips are greatly appreciated before I attempt this again. Thank you.
