I am so glad I found your video. I just got this exact computer and I decided to upgrade the RAM. I have no previous experience with building computers. Never opened one up and taken it apart before today. I am happy to announce that my new PC has more RAM. Thank you.
Just bought this computer and love it. And just about to up the RAM to 16. Thanks for a very simple, straight forward tutorial on how to do the upgrade!
You have the two perfect tutorials for me, as I'm thinking of buying a similar machine and upgrading the hard drive and ram as soon as I get it. The simple tutorials were really helpful, and thanks a lot for that!
Great vid! Upgraded my own pavilion tg-01 today w 2 sticks of crucial ballistix 3000mhz. Found the video helpful as didn’t know I had to push the sticks into the Dimm slot nearly as hard.

Hey, thanks for the comment! Glad that this could help you with some upgrades. I tried to put in everything that was relevant. I will have other videos on other mods in the future. Let me know if you got any questions on any upgrades.
Hello did the vengeance ram work when you added it, I haven’t upgraded nothing yet nor the motherboard but i want to upgrade the ram and Storage any advice bro?
You would need to go into the BIOS and enable a faster speed (3200, 3600 etc.) otherwise the ram will just boot and run at whatever the 'default' speed is. Default speed for DDR4 is 2133mhz. That's what the ram is running at because you didn't enable a faster speed. This is true for ANY ram kit, and ANY motherboard. Even a $1000 extreme overclocking motherboard won't run the ram faster than the default 2133mhz unless you go in and manually select a faster speed and enable it. It will never run at the 3600 speed listed on the box without you manually enabling that speed in the BIOS. Given that this is a ryzen CPU, which are very ram timing sensitive, you are probably really hurting the performance by just running it at 2133 when the motherboard will support up to 3200mhz. Edit: I was finally able to get one of these TG01-0023W. Turns out it uses a proprietary BIOS from HP and you can't actually adjust the ram speed from within the BIOS. So yeah, will need to use Ryzen Master to enable faster ram speeds.
I just recently upgraded my RAM only to find the same thing you did with the bios. I pretty much gave up but Im def going to try Ryzen Master now. Thanks for putting this info here.
Love your channel so far! I'm buying this pc tomorrow and I've only bought extra storage and Im very interested in updating but not just yet, I dont really know much abt computers but im happy im learning
Great video, your vids are chill af and you explain pretty good ✌🏻 I'm receiving my monitor on Wednesday hopefully sooner 😢 I'm thinking of getting 32gb ram from oloy, later a good ssd probably from Samsung. Do you think you can make a vid on how to properly put a ssd on this desktop, please ??? 😀

@@PortzTech Yea man they amped the price on it so it took me a while to get a hold of it for a good price 😤 I was actually thinking of getting Samsung 980 1TB but it's expensive, so I might get Samsung EVO 870 1TB since it's half the price and not much different spec. wise .

@@Sweet_Caliber both are good, but I feel you won’t honesty notice that much of a difference unless you benchmark them. Both are fast and you’ll load into games faster than people with mechanical hard drives
For everyone who’s going to be doing this. Yes you can go up to 32gbs of ram with this HP mother boards but after installing your ran go to your system info and it will be clocked down to like 2062 mhz. Therefore you need to go and down load Ryzen master… you can even RUclips this and it’s super simple to clock your ram to 3200 very very easy. RUclips Ryzen master and there’s a nice simple 10mins video with a bald guy with a cool beard explaining it. Your welcome.
@@PortzTech hey .. i just need one ram stick for 8 gb and , if i buy the same u got and i let the original one in the pc , i just add the new one is compatible? or it need to be 2 of the same u buy ??
hi bro, how can I change the memory frequency in intel? I want to go from 2666mhz to 3200mhz but I can't find the way to configure the ram from the bios, btw nice video :)
Yes, you could that. It would probably not be all that stable if you wanted to get the full 3600Mhz. I would suggest getting a new motherboard that accepts that 3600Mhz without ryzen master.
First person to ever figure that out! haha that's great! I watched it when I was way younger and my brother made me account on runescape with that as its name. Ever since then its just stuck. I will probably be changing it soon though
These are the first ones I saw on amazon, but you'll need Ryzen master to get them higher clock speeds. www.amazon.com/OLOy-288-Pin-Desktop-Gaming-MD4U0832160BJ0DA/dp/B088T2KNZ4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=ram&qid=1613370008&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzM1hJQjhDVFNOOFkmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1ODE1OTMzU1NNVUFXWVJSQVBNJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1NjIwNTMyQkZWUjFQSFgzOTgwJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
@@zeroturn7091 things have been going hard for me because my dad recently lost his job and my grandpa passed away last night, I think I’ll get the ram later on so I’ll let you know, also do I need to move or take out any wires when dissembling?
@@cbdn60 understood, and not really any cables to remove. I unplugged the light bar on the front because it annoyed me. The front USB ports are what I took extra caution with not to damage.
Without overclocking the ram I had to go to crucial (they made the ram that was in my computer that HP put in there) and get my ram from them since HP in the TG01 gaming computers doesn't use xmp and the memory has to be 1.2 volts. If you get the memory their site says matches your computer it will run at 3200 mhz without having to overclock anything.
Ik im late but do you know a budget ram price? Cause i still need to buy it then that 498 out of my pocket and i have about 12 dollars left but I might get more soon
Samsung, Hynix, or Micron ram that is PC4-2666v (CL19) will likely work. On ebay ~$12 will likely get you a 4gb stick (giving you dual channel) until you can afford to upgrade.
@@PortzTech I got this desktop today and I'm very excited I need to know is it a good PC? Does it run games well? What exactly does upgrading the ram do? I'm sorry I'm just completely void of any knowledge when it comes to PCs. Should I get a graphics card or any sort of upgrade or is it fine the way it is? Sorry lol
Yes, it should be. Pop them out and pop the new ones in. If it does not boot then swap the old ones back in and it will work fine. Just make sure you get the ram specs right
Make sure there isn’t any power to it, so nothing gets ruined. Unplug it from the wall. Also, make sure to ground yourself to get rid of any possible static discharge. Like touch a piece of metal to make sure there isn’t any static electricity that you could transfer to any pc components. It’s rare that would ever happen, but never hurts to be safe
So after installing the ram and reassembling, I just plug in and it’s ready to go? This is my first PC that I plan to actually upgrade myself, so I’m a noob.
Yes, just turn it on and you should be good to go. You'll know if it doesn't work because your PC will not boot up. If that happens just install the old ram and you're fine. Make sure its the right ram for your pc spec wise.
@@PortzTech quick question can I buy the same ram stick that’s already in the pc and just put it in along with the one that’s already in to combine them and make it 16 gbs of ram. (I have the same pc)
I noticed there is a second slot just next to the one you used. Could you add a second RAM there? ie. another 16gb for 32 gb total? or would you run into limitations w/ the motherboard? Thank you!
Yes, you could just throw another stock of ram in there and it would work. If you do it that way. Pull the first stick out, get the part number, and buy the same one then just stick it back in. That would be the simplest way to get more ram and not have to worry about any complications or compatibility issues. Just make sure it’s ddr4. Let me know if you have any other questions
@@PortzTech I appreciate that answer! I actually did have another question: It didn't seem to bother you that the clockspeed was limited by the motherboard. Is this because the benefit of having an additional 8gb of RAM outweighs the potential drawback of a decreased clockspeed? I am looking into upgrading my RAM and can't seem to find the stock RAM stick available, so I'm sure HP's motherboard will put a limit on whatever I put in.
@@66Chapa I chose to upgrade ram, it has a higher clock speed. The hp motherboard does hold it back. I plan on swapping motherboards eventually so I didn’t mind. Depending your application more ram is nice. Fast speeds are great, but if you only have 8gbs and something requires 16gb you’ll want the gbs over speed. Sorry, for the long response time I’ve been on vacation and got caught up with work
Not being picky but you should of mentioned that ram will only go in the slot a certain way, if you try to put it in the wrong way the notch in the middle won't line up and if you force it it will damage something
Apologies if this was already answered in comments, but I have a few questions (bit long, TL;DR at end) 1) Initially I was set on getting 32GB of Ram for this PC. I plan on keeping everything stock as I’m not experienced enough to mess with the motherboard or any overclocked settings. Is 32GB overkill for productivity and multitasking? So far I’m satisfied with the gaming performance with the stock 8GB. I’d just want to run probably a single game, Spotify, Discord, and a web browser at MOST without stressing the unit. And not that often. Maybe some basic audio production in the future using a DAW. 2) If 16GB is better, which would not require any overclocking or motherboard mods: 2666MHz or 3200MHz? 3) Lastly, if the single stock stick inside is already 8GB, then should I just buy a single 8GB stick to get my 16GB? Is there a page in the Control Panel somewhere that tells me the exact specs of the stock stick so I could potentially match it? Here are the sticks I’m currently eyeing for reference: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4-21300) C16 Memory Kit - Black www.amazon.com/dp/B0123ZC44Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZQF54P6V4A4X0AXQ6KC6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 TL;DR version: What is the max amount of RAM that someone could add for productivity speed that requires NO future overclocking or mods to the motherboard otherwise. I want no risk of bricking something and am new to this lol.
1.) 32gb is supported according to hp website. It may be somewhat overkill, but that's okay if you want it. 2.) Either way with most ram you get you'll have to overclock or it'll downclock the speed. You can always swap motherboards to fix this in the future. 3.) You could get the same exact stick. Download a software to detect your computers hardware, or just pull the stick of ram out and search the part number up support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06693646
@@PortzTech thank you for the response! I’ll have to search around and see which RAM speed is able to be overclocked without swapping the motherboard. I’d like to keep that stock. Your tutorials are very well done and concise, I was able to add an internal SSD without any experience thanks to your video! RAM is next and I’ll be done.
Sadly not, it clocked it down to 2100Mhz. In the bios it see it as 3600Mhz. It may also have something to do with it being dual channel instead of single channel
@@PortzTech you can get it back to 2666 MHz with Ryzen Master, but I wouldn’t go any further than that unless you’re prepared to deal with an unstable system.
@@PortzTech So what ram sticks would you recommend? Looking to upgrade the stock ram but would prefer not to overclock or anything. thanks for the video!
I got mine up to 3200. If you use CPU-Z you can see all the timings in the XMP profile. Then you use Ryzen Master with only memory overclocking and match up the timings to the XMP ones. They mostly go across in a row rather than a column but it takes a minute to translate which is which. I have 3200 in CL16 working great.
Yes and no. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I would say most of the time it works, but can not guarantee it all the time. It has worked for me in the past though
Ik I'm very late, but for the ram I'm pretty sure it need to be the same mhrtz,clock speed,same amount of gb, and dual channel. I'm mot sure if it needs to be the same brand.
Useful message. I gave a "like", but presentation needs a lot of work. Please pay more attention to your sound levels so they're uniform across the entire video. "This thing" is not an adequate descriptions of what you're pointing to, especially if your hand is covering the view of the camera. Also, learn to record the screen. And when adding or replacing the existing RAM, a little info about checking and adjusting RAM speed in the BIOS would be helpful.
When reattaching the front panel for anyone having trouble make sure the wires to the light or w/e aren’t blocking the holes I sat there wondering why it wouldn’t go in the wire was being smashed into the hole where the front panels poles go into
The stock RAM speed of my original 8G stick is 2666 Mhz. Did you say the computer backed your new ram speed down lower than that? Thanks for the videos.
It lowered my ram clock speed. You’ll need to get pretty much a identical stick of ram to what’s in it, for it to not do that. I plan on swapping the motherboard so it didn’t matter for me. You can also use ryzen master to overclock your ram
hey mate, love the video, just a quick question, can you make a video on how to open and clean this pc? I have a similar one except mine has a rtx 2060 super and i10 Processor and some other different stuff but I think other than specs, it looks like the exact same pc but I just have no clue about opening up pcs and cleaning since the only person in my household who could do that, doesnt live here anymore som im stuck :(
i have this pc and i want to upgrade all the part like get a new case graphics card and all types of things like that. Would i be able to do that because i don’t know what types of cases and things would work with the parts that come with this pc
Yes, you can upgrade things. The case, motherboard, and powersupply are what are holding you back. You should get a ATX motherboard and a case that fits ATX size motherboards. Let me know if you have questions or want recommendations
@@jayindajam9428 These should all work with what was in the PC in the video. Make sure to check it works and is what you want for your pc. Just general stuff that will work for you. I prefer Gigabyte, MSI, and ASUS motherboards more than the Asrock stuff. EVGA makes great power supplies just make sure its 80+ with whatever brand you get. Any case will work as long as it says the atx size or whatever size your motherboard is. ATX is like the general size most motherboards are and the standard size in the PC world. So if the case says it fits atx, your motherboard will most likely fit.

Hi bro. i have a question can i just buy a 16gb ram stick and put with the old one on the motherboard to make it work dual chanel and 32gb ram? Have a good day.
Hello My device's RAM is 16GB, one piece I bought another piece a while ago, also 16GB But when I put them together, the device doesn't work and makes a distinctive sound When I use one of them, the device works, is the problem with the port?
I don’t know much about pcs and I'm planning to purchase HP Pavilion for casual gaming, productivity etc.; what if you want to upgrade it to 32gb ram? Is it even possible? If 16gb ram are equal to 2 sticks, I’m guessing 32gb ram would be 4 sticks and this pc doesn't offer more than 2 slots, how would you upgrade it? Another question I have is what else can you upgrade on this pc? Am I able to upgrade the ssd, gpu? If so, can you please make a video on those as well? It would be much appreciated!
Thank you for the video it helped out a lot, but I ran into a problem, I did exactly as you did, I have the same exact pc and installed the same exact ram as you did but my bandwidth has really slowed down in my whole house, I didn’t do anything after installing it and booting it up and didn’t know if you had an answer?
I am glad the video could help you out. If your wifi is slowing down then maybe make sure you are on the right wifi or try plugging into the router directly with a ethernet cable. make sure all your drivers are up to date. Also, do a windows update. Lastly reinstall your old ram and see if the problem is still there

Are you able to link the amazon page where you found the Ram?
Here ya go...

Was surprised how hard you have to push to get it back in, was panict when it beeped due to memory error due to incorretct seating XD
hi bro, how can I change the memory frequency in intel? I want to go from 2666mhz to 3200mhz but I can't find the way to configure the ram from the bios, btw nice video :)
I would suggest getting a different motherboard that would allow you to change the frequencies in the bios
Great video, thanks for the help!
Glad it helped! Thanks for commenting
Do you think overclocking the memory using ryzen master works similar to xmp? I have a 3600mz ballistic ram
Yes, you could that. It would probably not be all that stable if you wanted to get the full 3600Mhz. I would suggest getting a new motherboard that accepts that 3600Mhz without ryzen master.
Thanks man. Just bought this and the SSD. New to PCs and this was extremely helpful. Is your name from the movie grind? Lol
First person to ever figure that out! haha that's great! I watched it when I was way younger and my brother made me account on runescape with that as its name. Ever since then its just stuck. I will probably be changing it soon though

Do you know any ram sticks that are 16g of memory that is under 100 dollars?
These are the first ones I saw on amazon, but you'll need Ryzen master to get them higher clock speeds.

@@zeroturn7091 things have been going hard for me because my dad recently lost his job and my grandpa passed away last night, I think I’ll get the ram later on so I’ll let you know, also do I need to move or take out any wires when dissembling?

Thank you man love ya saved me money and I learned. Subbed and liked.
Thanks! I am glad that I could help you out! Let me know if you have any other questions
I recently just upgraded the ram, and it’s slower than the speed I ordered 3200 megahertz, is there anyway I could get the ram to run at that speed ?
Yea, you would have to use Ryzen master and clock it faster
Without overclocking the ram I had to go to crucial (they made the ram that was in my computer that HP put in there) and get my ram from them since HP in the TG01 gaming computers doesn't use xmp and the memory has to be 1.2 volts. If you get the memory their site says matches your computer it will run at 3200 mhz without having to overclock anything.
@@Joker058 I have a hp pavilion gaming desktop TG01-2003w how do I find what ram I have in my pc
So my hp wich i love by the way came with one ram stick wich is a 8 instead of 2 4 gb, is this normal? I plan to upgrade to 16
Ik im late but do you know a budget ram price? Cause i still need to buy it then that 498 out of my pocket and i have about 12 dollars left but I might get more soon
Just save up and buy a set or go to ebay and try to find a matching stick of 8gb
Samsung, Hynix, or Micron ram that is PC4-2666v (CL19) will likely work. On ebay ~$12 will likely get you a 4gb stick (giving you dual channel) until you can afford to upgrade.
@@thepezfeo Thanks for the info
Thanks man, I'm about to buy this really soon and I was thinking of some upgrades
It’s a great computer! Let me know if you have any questions on upgrading
@@PortzTech ok thanks portz. You earned a subscription
@@fkaiba94 thanks! Means a lot
@@PortzTech I got this desktop today and I'm very excited I need to know is it a good PC? Does it run games well? What exactly does upgrading the ram do? I'm sorry I'm just completely void of any knowledge when it comes to PCs. Should I get a graphics card or any sort of upgrade or is it fine the way it is? Sorry lol
hey quick question is it the same with the TG01-0003NO desktop?
Yes, it should be. Pop them out and pop the new ones in. If it does not boot then swap the old ones back in and it will work fine. Just make sure you get the ram specs right
Very helpfull will definetly be using your tutorial when I get my hands on the pc
My first time upgrading on this pc. DO i just unplug the power cable and upgrade?
Yes check that your pc is also fully turned off
@@User-xp4kl that’s correct! Thanks, for helping!
Make sure there isn’t any power to it, so nothing gets ruined. Unplug it from the wall. Also, make sure to ground yourself to get rid of any possible static discharge. Like touch a piece of metal to make sure there isn’t any static electricity that you could transfer to any pc components. It’s rare that would ever happen, but never hurts to be safe
My nearest com store tried to charge me $40 just to do this?💀 thanks for saving me money
Glad it could help!
So after installing the ram and reassembling, I just plug in and it’s ready to go? This is my first PC that I plan to actually upgrade myself, so I’m a noob.
Yes, just turn it on and you should be good to go. You'll know if it doesn't work because your PC will not boot up. If that happens just install the old ram and you're fine. Make sure its the right ram for your pc spec wise.
@@PortzTech quick question can I buy the same ram stick that’s already in the pc and just put it in along with the one that’s already in to combine them and make it 16 gbs of ram. (I have the same pc)
@@TheFrostyBomb Yea, that should work
@@PortzTech so I just have to buy another 2666 ddr4 8 stick right?
@@TheFrostyBomb yea, just buy the same one if you want
Thank you man you help me out a lot
No problem, glad it could help
I noticed there is a second slot just next to the one you used. Could you add a second RAM there? ie. another 16gb for 32 gb total? or would you run into limitations w/ the motherboard? Thank you!
Yes, you could just throw another stock of ram in there and it would work. If you do it that way. Pull the first stick out, get the part number, and buy the same one then just stick it back in. That would be the simplest way to get more ram and not have to worry about any complications or compatibility issues. Just make sure it’s ddr4. Let me know if you have any other questions
@@PortzTech I appreciate that answer! I actually did have another question: It didn't seem to bother you that the clockspeed was limited by the motherboard. Is this because the benefit of having an additional 8gb of RAM outweighs the potential drawback of a decreased clockspeed? I am looking into upgrading my RAM and can't seem to find the stock RAM stick available, so I'm sure HP's motherboard will put a limit on whatever I put in.
@@66Chapa I chose to upgrade ram, it has a higher clock speed. The hp motherboard does hold it back. I plan on swapping motherboards eventually so I didn’t mind. Depending your application more ram is nice. Fast speeds are great, but if you only have 8gbs and something requires 16gb you’ll want the gbs over speed. Sorry, for the long response time I’ve been on vacation and got caught up with work
Not being picky but you should of mentioned that ram will only go in the slot a certain way, if you try to put it in the wrong way the notch in the middle won't line up and if you force it it will damage something
Thanks, but I do mention it in the video at 3:18 - 3:21
@@PortzTech fair enough, just me being critical.
@@itsmegareth9663 it’s all good! I always try to make sure to not forget all the little things
@@PortzTech true, i was probaly reading through the comments or something at that point in the video. Sorry dude.
@@itsmegareth9663 No big deal at all, no hard feelings at all
Did the frequency change when you added them?
Yes, it did. I plan on swapping the motherboard for it so I didn’t mind it changing on me
@@PortzTech what was the stock ones at
@@ra7in524 I believe it is 2666 MHz
What were the benchmarks with the original ram? 🤔
@@BoltRM I have a video on it, it was a slight increase overall
Apologies if this was already answered in comments, but I have a few questions (bit long, TL;DR at end)
1) Initially I was set on getting 32GB of Ram for this PC. I plan on keeping everything stock as I’m not experienced enough to mess with the motherboard or any overclocked settings. Is 32GB overkill for productivity and multitasking? So far I’m satisfied with the gaming performance with the stock 8GB. I’d just want to run probably a single game, Spotify, Discord, and a web browser at MOST without stressing the unit. And not that often. Maybe some basic audio production in the future using a DAW.
2) If 16GB is better, which would not require any overclocking or motherboard mods: 2666MHz or 3200MHz?
3) Lastly, if the single stock stick inside is already 8GB, then should I just buy a single 8GB stick to get my 16GB? Is there a page in the Control Panel somewhere that tells me the exact specs of the stock stick so I could potentially match it?
Here are the sticks I’m currently eyeing for reference: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4-21300) C16 Memory Kit - Black www.amazon.com/dp/B0123ZC44Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZQF54P6V4A4X0AXQ6KC6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
TL;DR version: What is the max amount of RAM that someone could add for productivity speed that requires NO future overclocking or mods to the motherboard otherwise. I want no risk of bricking something and am new to this lol.
1.) 32gb is supported according to hp website. It may be somewhat overkill, but that's okay if you want it.
2.) Either way with most ram you get you'll have to overclock or it'll downclock the speed. You can always swap motherboards to fix this in the future.
3.) You could get the same exact stick. Download a software to detect your computers hardware, or just pull the stick of ram out and search the part number up

@@PortzTech thank you for the response! I’ll have to search around and see which RAM speed is able to be overclocked without swapping the motherboard. I’d like to keep that stock. Your tutorials are very well done and concise, I was able to add an internal SSD without any experience thanks to your video! RAM is next and I’ll be done.
@@radiogonzo94 Just let me know if you have questions
Are you running at 3200 MHz in task manager after the upgrade?
Sadly not, it clocked it down to 2100Mhz. In the bios it see it as 3600Mhz. It may also have something to do with it being dual channel instead of single channel
@@PortzTech you can get it back to 2666 MHz with Ryzen Master, but I wouldn’t go any further than that unless you’re prepared to deal with an unstable system.
@@zeroturn7091 Good to know, thank you
@@PortzTech So what ram sticks would you recommend? Looking to upgrade the stock ram but would prefer not to overclock or anything. thanks for the video!
I got mine up to 3200. If you use CPU-Z you can see all the timings in the XMP profile. Then you use Ryzen Master with only memory overclocking and match up the timings to the XMP ones. They mostly go across in a row rather than a column but it takes a minute to translate which is which. I have 3200 in CL16 working great.
portz tech saving esports dreams ty my man
Can you use different kinds of rams together for example can you use a corsair ram and some other companys ram?
Yes and no. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I would say most of the time it works, but can not guarantee it all the time. It has worked for me in the past though
Ik I'm very late, but for the ram I'm pretty sure it need to be the same mhrtz,clock speed,same amount of gb, and dual channel. I'm mot sure if it needs to be the same brand.

Yes, it should be
Useful message. I gave a "like", but presentation needs a lot of work. Please pay more attention to your sound levels so they're uniform across the entire video. "This thing" is not an adequate descriptions of what you're pointing to, especially if your hand is covering the view of the camera. Also, learn to record the screen. And when adding or replacing the existing RAM, a little info about checking and adjusting RAM speed in the BIOS would be helpful.

If I upgrade the computer with the new ram will it lead me to the bios?
I tried this and now my computer has blue screen of death no matter what I do. Even tried putting the old ram back in
The stock RAM speed of my original 8G stick is 2666 Mhz. Did you say the computer backed your new ram speed down lower than that?
Thanks for the videos.
It lowered my ram clock speed. You’ll need to get pretty much a identical stick of ram to what’s in it, for it to not do that. I plan on swapping the motherboard so it didn’t matter for me. You can also use ryzen master to overclock your ram
@@PortzTech what’s a identical one name
You really helped me thx 🙏❤️

Awesome to find this video. Installed some new RAM and I can't figure out how to increase my ram to its make speed? (Its max is 3200Mhz)
This motherboard does not have settings in the bios to let you increase the speed. You would have to swap motherboards to do
@Kimyager thanks for the information, I’ll give it a go
Just a little FYI, this computer now comes with 3200 instead of 2666
Thanks, I'll pin your comment
I noticed on your teardown, that your GPU shows a 6pin power but it was not connected, or is that just a solder joint?
how do you change the ram speed in bios pls help :)

Yes, you can upgrade things. The case, motherboard, and powersupply are what are holding you back. You should get a ATX motherboard and a case that fits ATX size motherboards. Let me know if you have questions or want recommendations
@@PortzTech yea u have any recommendations?
@@jayindajam9428
These should all work with what was in the PC in the video. Make sure to check it works and is what you want for your pc. Just general stuff that will work for you. I prefer Gigabyte, MSI, and ASUS motherboards more than the Asrock stuff. EVGA makes great power supplies just make sure its 80+ with whatever brand you get. Any case will work as long as it says the atx size or whatever size your motherboard is. ATX is like the general size most motherboards are and the standard size in the PC world. So if the case says it fits atx, your motherboard will most likely fit.

When I use one of them, the device works, is the problem with the port?
I don’t know much about pcs and I'm planning to purchase HP Pavilion for casual gaming, productivity etc.; what if you want to upgrade it to 32gb ram? Is it even possible? If 16gb ram are equal to 2 sticks, I’m guessing 32gb ram would be 4 sticks and this pc doesn't offer more than 2 slots, how would you upgrade it? Another question I have is what else can you upgrade on this pc? Am I able to upgrade the ssd, gpu? If so, can you please make a video on those as well? It would be much appreciated!

Thank you for the video it helped out a lot, but I ran into a problem, I did exactly as you did, I have the same exact pc and installed the same exact ram as you did but my bandwidth has really slowed down in my whole house, I didn’t do anything after installing it and booting it up and didn’t know if you had an answer?
I am glad the video could help you out. If your wifi is slowing down then maybe make sure you are on the right wifi or try plugging into the router directly with a ethernet cable. make sure all your drivers are up to date. Also, do a windows update. Lastly reinstall your old ram and see if the problem is still there
hey i did all the steps and then i plugged in my pc and it flashes green and immediately turns off
Make sure everything is seated properly
are u able to keep the basic RAM in there and install the new RAM with all of them in there?
Have the same PC and bought 8GB of ram to install into it. I'm thinking now I should've bought two instead of one.
If the stick you got works then it is fine. Unless you want to have a different set of ram or more ram
