Upgrading laptop RAM

[xDoron22]

Hi, everyone I need help figuring something out.

I have an HP Notebook 15-bs190od laptop with 4GB RAM and I want to upgrade to 1 stick of 8GB. Specs:

CPU: i5-8250U, Motherboard: 832A, RAM: 4GB M471A5244BB0

In addition I just bought this laptop for my wife: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IH-AS53

This laptop comes with unknown (as far as I know) 8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM installed.

So, I intent to upgrade its RAM to 16GB and instead of just getting another 8 gig stick (and have 2 different ram sticks installed) I Thought, maybe I could upgrade both laptops together!

I found this Crucial 16GB Kit from amazon, And from my research it should work just fine with the new laptop.

So the idea is, To put the new 16GB kit in the new laptop (and by that, I will get real dual channel instead of two diff 8GB sticks), And to take the 8GB stick out from the new laptop and install it to my old HP laptop.

And there’s the question, will the unknown 8GB 3200MHz stick will work in the old laptop? Looking at the 8250u specs, The supported ram is maximum of 2400MHz. Will the mobo/cpu will be able to underclock the ram to 2400 and work?

Thanks everyone! Hope I explained everything.

Yes, it should work. And since you’re not going to get the full potential of the ram taken from the ASUS either way, I would recommend keeping the 4gb stick in the HP in addition to that. Might not work with the two different capacities, but I think it should.

Oh cool! I might even get 12GB ram hehe

I really hope it works though, But I guess event if it won't I will just sell the 8GB of the asus and get a new supported 8GB for the HP.

 

Thnaks for the help!
