ram upgrade for ideapad 700-15ISK

[Alexzz_]

My uncle has an ideapad 700-15ISK which currently has 8Gb of 1,6Ghz ddr4. He would like to upgrade this to 16 Gb. However i can't find any 16 Gb sodimm sticks at 1,6Ghz. Will it be a problem if i install something with a higher frequency?

No problem, they will just run at the slower speeds

hm... really odd, i never seen ddr4 so far below jedec speed.

 

some laptops can be quite odd on some ram, so get the most generic you can find
