Laptop ram upgrade - what should i choose?

[19_blackie_73]

Hey guys,

i need more ram for my laptop as 4GB running full while doing matlabs or blender stuff. can anyone tell me which ram i should choose?

that's what cpu-z said i have:

DIMM #                1    SMBus address        0x52    Memory type        DDR3    Module format        SO-DIMM    Manufacturer (ID)    Hyundai Electronics (AD000000000000000000)    Size            4096 MBytes    Max bandwidth        PC3-12800 (800 MHz)    Part number        HMT451S6BFR8A-PB      Serial number        1346C4D9    Manufacturing date    Week 05/Year 15    Number of banks        8    Nominal Voltage        1.35 Volts    EPP            no    XMP            no    AMP            noJEDEC timings table        CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency    JEDEC #1        5.0-5-5-14-19 @ 380 MHz    JEDEC #2        6.0-6-6-16-22 @ 457 MHz    JEDEC #3        7.0-7-7-19-26 @ 533 MHz    JEDEC #4        8.0-8-8-22-30 @ 609 MHz    JEDEC #5        9.0-9-9-24-33 @ 685 MHz    JEDEC #6        10.0-10-10-27-37 @ 761 MHz    JEDEC #7        11.0-11-11-28-39 @ 800 MHz

notebook specs:

- i5 5200u

- intel hd 5500 @fhd ips

 

my problem is to get the right timing. I guess it will be cl11 but i'm not sure. I would like to add another 4gb stick.

 

Thanks in advance!

You should find the same model RAM to avoid any compatibility issues.

 

Or Buy Dual channel kit from Kingston or Corsair. And sell your current RAM.

 

Technically any SODIM DDR3 RAM should work. But some times you may have problem with compatibility.

so something like that would work?

As I told you before, Technically it should work. But when there is two different brands, you may face problems like compatibility issues. 

 

That doesn't mean that it won't work, It will work. But I'm not sure entirely.

i thought that as a replacement the 8gb stick

But thanks:)

you can install any DDR3 stick of RAM(of the right size) and it will work fine 99.9% of the time, this is the whole point that DDR3 is a standard. I've mixed memory in various systems, and my laptop even came with mixed memory, with no issues at all.

generally speaking you want them to be similar: same size and clock speed. yours said 800MHz, which is actually 1600MHz effective (Double Data Rate)

my desktop even has one dual rank module and one single rank module and still has no issues.

 

there are sometimes compatibility issues, especially during overclocking, but I've found them to be pretty rare if you aren't overclocking, undervolting, or modifying the default timing

thanks:) i was a bit confused by the fact that it only said 800 MHz and the different timing on different speeds. Thanks for the explanation!
