Laptop Memory Upgrade

[marmour]

So I have the ASUS G14, model GA401IH, which came with 8gb of ram which I want to upgrade to 16 by adding a second module into the free slot. The preinstalled stick is ddr4 3200mhz, cl22. 

 

When searching, I came across these two options for:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q3HNC79/?coliid=I2TS63G7BPQQGK&colid=34GC078LISA21&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C4Z69LN/?coliid=I18HNQGPAW08WG&colid=BJ1E74L6ZXMR&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

 

However, the second option is apparently incompatible with my laptop according to Crucial's compatibility checker.

Is this an issue with the compatibility checker, or is there some spec that I am missing that differentiates these two models?

I'd rather not spend double the price for what looks like nearly the same product.

 

Thanks

First I recommended to check what ram your laptop is exactly using using this simple command in CMD

 

Then google the partnumber to find the exact ram type that your laptop is using

this is the partnumber if it helps: Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CWE 

Still dont see why the cheaper crucial kit wouldnt work. from what I see its the same speed, timings and voltage are the same as the other model, and seem to match the specs of the my onboard memory
