Hello,

 

I want to upgrade ram on my laptop.

 

I have Acer Predator 17 G9 791. Intel i7 6700HQ, Nvidia gtx 980m 4gb ddr5.

 

At the moment I have 8 gb ram 2133mhz.

 

I want to upgrade to 16gb. There is a big discount on Kingston HyperX impact ram 2400mhz. (i plan to put 4x 4gb)

 

My question is, is this proc compatible with 2400mhz? Some say it is, some it's not.

 

First i wanted to get crucial ram since i got theirs inside. And on their site says that 2400 is compatible.

 

On intel site says it's not

Thanks !

Hello Mat.Vinter89,

 

 

Please bear in mind that the RAMs compatible with your laptop is determine by your Laptop manufacturer, the ram needs to be compatible with your laptop BIOS and in this case Acer determines that.

 

 

At this point, you will need to contact Acer to get information about what RAM that can be installed in your system or if it can be upgraded.
