I'm still using my Acer Aspire 5560. I wanted to know whether I can upgrade the ram to 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz. My old ram is 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz dual channel. Will I be able to get the 1600 MHz or will it be reduced to 1333 MHz? Please.. anyone...

[@MysteryT]

I wish I could help but I have no idea

[@alsrig0420]

@@MysteryT Oh ok man

[@crazy_creator6144]

[@hugokhaan503]

What do you put on the processor at the end? I assume it is grease, can you confirm. Otherwise, it is a very helpful video thanks!

+hugo laratte this is thermal paste

[@theistsaretheoriginalcon-a3194]

Why did you only put thermal paste on 2 shiny squares? What about the other one?

[@hrvpictures7786]

is there any hidden slot for SSD M.2 on this matherboard?

[@HappyfoxBiz]

this laptop predates the m.2, you will need to get a full sized SSD or hybrid drive for solid state storage.

[@czesawzpubu1490]

no audio no termo pad.,why u dont clear a radiator?

[@sexjap]

Isn't it to much thermal paste you put on? A single drop is enough imo.
