ram Need some help for Laptop Ram upgrade

[Cipulot99]

Hello there,

today I've bought an HP Pavilion 15 (i7 10th gen one, model 15-cs3045nl) and it comes with more than reasonable 16GB of ddr4 ram. 

The motherboard has 2 slots and only one of them is populated (bruh, single channel out of the box) but this gives me the opportunity to put another one in there to have a bazillion of chrome tabs and some complicated ML video buffers stuff that I use.

More precisely it's a Samsung made stick (DDR4-2666 SDRAM, part number M471A2K43CB1-CTD according to CPUZ).

According to the Crucial ram upgrade utility my pc can support up to 32gb but hp tested it with a max of 16gb (had confirmation from an HP agent).

 

I was wondering if anyone here have the same pc and has upgraded the ram to 32gb and can help me out with this.

Any other help is well accepted

I don't have the same laptop as you, (got an smaller i5 variant) but trust me it can hold 16 GB. 32 GB is the maximum your cpu supports. But it depends on your motherboard of how many it can hold.

Thank for the comment ;)

Yeah, When I opened mine to swap out the 256gb ssd and freaking loud 1tb hdd I was surprised to see that the 16gb were on a single stick and got me thinking about a little upgrade. I've first looked at the Crucial upgrade page (sorry but it's in italian, important stuff are in english tho) and the cpu Ark page and both report that the maximum supported ram is 64gb but 32 is more than enough for me now. If a single memory slot is holding a 16gb stick I see no reason for it to work on the other one at the same time if the cpu and chipset supports it.

 

I will probably try another 16gb stick and if it doesn't work out I'll return it to amazon and ask a refound

Found this site post form LaptopMedia that suggests that the max ram is 32gb(more reasonable than the 64gb even tho the low spec i3 10th gen supports that too). I'm going to try it out in the end.....

Thanks for the help
