What If I Install A Lower RAM Speed than the factory one

[Isaac Foster]

So my laptop comes out with an i5-8300H And the RAM is SODDIM 1x8GB DDR4 2666MHz, What i am about to install is :SODDIM 2X4GB DDR4 2400MHz

What will happen to my laptop?

Will it boot Up?

Or it will not?

Thanks!

it would run at 2400mhz

If you are mixing it with the other ram, there is a good chance that it will not boot up because they are different speeds and also probably different manufacturers. If you are replacing all of the ram though it should be completely fine.

Would it take time to boot up?

It maybe run some Memory Check?

Because i tried 3 hours ago the laptop light up but there is nothing at the screen

i turned it off 10 seconds after it doesn't show anything at the screen 

should i give it more time?

Factory one SKHynix, the 2x4GB one is from Kingston and TeamGroup. i use the same type. it doesn't show anything at the screen

but the laptop lights up

Are you using different ram sticks, because that looks like something that would happen with that.

[Isaac Foster]

No i use the 4GBX2 One

I hate to ask this but maybe one of them is dead????

Try the "new" modules one at a time. If still no luck with either of them, put the original back in and check that still works. As a laptop there's unlikely to be any settings in bios for ram, but check it out anyway.

 

On the original question, I'd have said it should work, either by itself or even mixed with the old ram. Laptop ram is rarely high performance XMP, but JEDEC standard speed and timings. It's about as safe as it gets to ram compatibility that even mixing isn't likely to cause a problem.

If they are different brand, speed, size or latency, they might not work in a laptop or desktop. For example here are some pictures of mismatching ram that would not work together. I doubt that any of the sticks are dead.

They are actually from my old laptop, i upgraded my old laptop like 4 years ago, All i think is same type and speed, I buyed teamgroup 4GB DDR4 2400MHz because my old laptop factory RAM is Kingston 4GB DDR4 2400MHz, i don't think different brand matters at that time.

I had my own experience with ram like this. They are two 32 gig sticks but they didn't work. Found out a lot later that one was from Micron and the other was from SK Hynix. All same speed, but incompatible.

I tested the ram on my new laptop because i want to sell them, or i hear that Dual Channel Memory when its a little bit slower on speed but the same type, its faster like 5% difference in FPS from the little bit faster than the Single Stick RAM one. if its working and if its faster i am gonna sell the 8GB Stick one (from my laptop's factory) or if its not faster than the single stick one then i am gonna selll the dual stick one(from my old laptop.)

my old laptop is working with both the RAM installed. but my new laptop wont work at all.

Even with the old ram?

Im at a loss now. I don't know what to do... fiddling with laptop ram isn't my forte anyway.

Possible the mobo not outputing enough voltage? I also got some Power Limit Throttling too!

Don't give up my friend!

WE SOLVE THIS TOGETHER!

THAT'S HOW FORUMS WORK

Did the battery run out? Is it plugged in? There are LOTS of factors now.

I tried it when its using battery and i didnt charge it because the charger is tied out with the wall and i have to do a quick installation.

So you probably need to charge it.
