Absolutely adore you not leaving any steps out, for people who are still new to dealing with internals it can all be quite literally mystical, and so showing (and editing in other angles) is very alleviating to the usual worries. Easy to imitate you, much less stressful!
If you change the ram, wont you lose existing data
Why wouldn't you just add an another 8gb stick to other side instead of buying two new sticks
@@justinbailey7281 Because you can get a kit of ram with more MHz. The Pavillion has 2600 MHz ram, and I'm actually upgrading mine in a few days with 3200.
@@justinbailey7281RAM is temporary memory storage and resets each time you restart your computer
@@justinbailey7281 Your computer data is stored in the internal storage drive, not the RAM. RAM just determines how fast your computer can process data and allows more memory. Hence why more of it is faster and thus better.
can we appreciate the fact that this guy is actually really helpful?
He was helpful but unplugging the battery cable to put ram in. Is unprofessional.
@@taichiherov8135 Is it not necessary to do that? I don't want to mess up my computer
@@taichiherov8135why? It isn’t necessarily bad to do that, I think he was just being safe
@@localdealer2105it is bad . He wasn’t professional at all. That wasn’t necessary.
Still using this guide 2 years later 🎉 Awesome guide, helped me fix RAM issues I was having.
Great tutorial! Worked 100%! Even used the guitar pick. Though, my HP gaming laptop didn’t have the black sticker over the RAM cards.
Is it used?
@@denkrblx437 Mine didnt have a black sticker over it either - bought it new
@@davidduffy1101 hmmm maybe they changed the production and stopped putting the black sticker
Have this laptop and I play Minecraft on it and it’s using the integrated graphics how do I change it to the dedicated graphics card
@@turb1ne74 Go 8n windows graphics settings, or if it's a nividia go in nividia control panel
This is one of the best videos showing how to upgrade gaming laptops. Simple, informative, good camera angles showing what you are doing, and x10 better than any other similar video I've been able to find. Thank you!
2023, still a useful tutorial, thanks. I miss the olden days when my original HP Pavillion had a removable little door on the bottom to access your ram slots. Back in the days when companies gave a crap about their customers.
Yw❤
Thanks, my ram was constantly at 90% so I put in another 8gb stick and now it's running great
Yw❤
using the HDD magnet was a great idea. I use it a lot
Just changed mine to 32 GB without any issues, took like 15 minutes, thanks to your video. Thank you!
How is it 5 months down the road? Any issues? Like getting too hot or something? I’m new to this and wanna do 32 instead of 16 lol
Yw❤
7 months now. How is it
@@BeziSuper everything is working great!
@@smirnusia what ram did you use? im trying to upgrade to 32 from 16 and im not sure what ram is compatible with this laptop
Worked perfectly man, this helped me a lot, and without this I would be doomed. I really needed this so thank you!!
love the pfp
@@noyou1933 I love your pfp
@eLKy 15 Short answer is yes, but research the laptop’s capacity for the RAM before buying and installingnit
I have this laptop can play every game on max don’t see why it needs the upgrade
@@nostalgiaholic4874 8gs isn't good enough to load some games like Rust or Tarkov very efficiently
thanks. Looking at buying my teenage son one of these for an upcoming birthday. Very useful even if I dont plan on upgrading the ram.
W mom/dad you a goat parent
@@yunganand fr
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for this vid. It was very helpful. You explained everything really well with how to take out the ram and insert the new ram cards. I watched some other vids and they weren't as informative as yours. I also got that message and was glad to see that it was normal. Anyway thank you again!
is it necessary to remove the battery part thing?
@@LiegeMaximo the connector? I did it. I didn't take out the battery though. Just unclasped it from It's power source which is a good practice for when your working on anything. If you disconnect the battery you have less of a chance of creating an electrostatic charge and frying something, In my opinion.
@@littleflip55 oh ok, thanks! 🙏
@@LiegeMaximo NP!
Yw❤
honestly the most useful tech video on this site. you masterfully explained what to do in less than 10 minutes, and got straight to the point! Thanks!
Great job in a very calm way and step by step explanation of how to upgrade memory and the layout of the motherboard components!
Nicely done - easy to follow along with. I like to watch this kind of video every so often from different people to see how each person does it.
VERY HELPFUL! I am a mechanic and not a tech guy at all, but I am handy, you guided me carefully!
You get the added bonus of going from 8gb single channel ram to 16gb of dual channel ram by adding a 2nd stick.
Dual channel ram has twice the data transfer speed (Bandwidth).
Great tutorial. I saved money doing this. Same laptop with higher ram was way more expensive. I got the 8gb one and upgraded to 32gb. Your video was very helpful!
@Trinkely I’m also curious! 😂
I would also like to know
how did you make sure that 32gb was supported ??
Thank you so much for this! Everything about computer parts is absolutely mumbo jumbo for me so I appreciate the slow and concise step by step instructions
Yw❤
As one tech to another I should suggest you add one thing to this sort of video my laptop is a gaming 15 DK and the four screws in the back if you look closely are NOT the same length! so when a user removes screws from a laptop like this, they should lay them out next to the laptop in the same pattern so that the same screw goes back in the same hole... I use a piece of tape that I stick the heads of the screws on so that way they stay where I put them
Really helpful video! I first watch this in 2022, now Im upgrading my laptop's RAM again. Thank you!
Ive never even seen the inside of a laptop but this video just made everything seem so simple so thank you
I love this video so much, you didn't leave a single step out and showed us the best way to do the steps. Very straightforward thank you!
Thanks so much! I got one of these as a gift and they got it with 4 gigs of ram, hopefully we can bump that up to 16!
4 GB? I think it comes with 8
@@santipro64 maybe, i think i remember it saying 4, but either way its 16 now
Thank you for making that easier than I expected. I feel confident about adding more RAM now.
I've only upgraded desktops and was worried about upgrading my laptop, this made it so much easier thanks so much
Np❤
Thankyou so much! I got a 16GB ram stick and replaced it with one of the 4’s this video helped a lot, I’m now subscribed.
Thanks i successfully upgraded my ram ❤
The hardest part was removing the back cover. I destroyed my brother's guitar pick 🤣
Thank you so much man, this was perfect for me. Although I didnt have a guitar pick I just used the case my ram came in and it worked like a charm! Incredible stuff!
One of the best tutorials I’ve watched in a long time!
you explained every step as if you were talking with a layman
if i showed this to a non-tech savvy person (but with the corrrect tools) they would be able to upgrade their laptop by themselves
kudos for you!
It worked perfect, thank you for making this video. The error also popup, but you only need to hit enter to make your laptop restart.❤
Thanks for this video. I was able to upgrade my RAM and finally be able to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on my laptop. I'd say the hardest part about it all was getting the back cover off lol.
very helpful. I had another HP with the same type of ram so I just stripped it out of that and put it into the one I wanted to use. handy placeholder until I upgrade the ram much further.
Thanks, you earned yourself one more subscriber. This is the only one I understood.
This was easier than I thought it would be, the hardest part of the entire thing was the screws and that wasn’t even hard just time consuming since I didn’t have a screw driver lol
you have the best tutorial memory upgrade video I have ever seen, thank you.
if i use the same ram types.. would it be possible for me to upgrade it with 2 16gb sticks?
Sure bro
that's a great question, I want to di this too...
@@davepastern go ahead buddy
@@randomgamerwithpotatoaim8611 will these laptops take 2x 16gb sticks? HP support says no
@@davepastern from what I know they always say that the units are "non-user upgradable.". But most of us just do it anyway lol
Is it possible to put 2 16GB in there or is that too much, i read the description but was a little confused
Thanks for this man. Very useful and easy to understand
Thanks, great video, told me everything I needed to know to get this RAM installed
thank you for the video, waiting on two 16 GB RAM cards to arrive for my HP Pavillion 15 laptop. I will know what to do now when they arrive.
So It does support up to 32 gigs of ram. Nice
THANK YOU SO MUCH my pc only had 8 gb of ram and i do yt and a lot of work so i had to upgrade ram, i did not know how to until i found this video, you explained it very clearly, so thank you.
Best tutorial for how to upgrade ram for this laptop. Thank you for your excellent explanation and guide
This was incredibly helpful for a newbie such as myself. Thanks!
Thank you for your video. Do you know if the big round HP badge at the back of the screen lights up?
it doesnt light up, its just shiny
I have one and its just shiny it doesnt light up
This video was too great! You earned my sub!
i have no problem installing the ram, but i really need to know what to check before buying the ram. I've bought the ram for second times, both are 8gb ddr4 3200mhz, but when i install it, my screen just light up and shut down immediately...any advice?
Saving this video for the future. Excellent breakdown.
Man thank you so much for this video, it was so helpful! You rock!!
can i use a normal screwdriver for this
Thank u so much :)u walking me through how to put this in was wonderful
Awesome video! The step by step really helped!
I guess I will lose my remaining 1.5 year warranty if I do this myself, right
great tutorial though
Thank you so much I have the same computer and I watched this video and installed 16 GB and took out my 8 GB of ram
Why didn't u keep the 8 gig in and install the 16 in other slot? You will have 24 gigs of ram I do. I have same laptop
@@gregst.martin4889 some laptop models of hp have ram limit to 16gv
Bro u should have done 8,8gb ram for dual channel boost brother
Much much bigger improvement than single stick of 16gb ram
@@TJ-vj9jb So if i have 8gb of ram I just should buy another 8gb instead of 16 gb
@@Nitrox_909 yeps works fine abd dual channel is better than single stick of 16gb
A really helpful guide as i am planning to upgrade both the ram and add a ssd, 2tb or 4tb not sure yet. Might as well replace the nvme one with a new 1 tb pcie 4.0.
At least now i know how to do it without breaking stuff.
My HP pavilion isn’t the exact model it is a 15z- ec200. It has 8 GB of ram total would I mess something up if I follow your video and get the ram ram you did
Hello Sirs, may I ask the brand and model of your rams since the one I bought didn't work or was faulty, pls help I don't want to spend on an incompatible ram again. the one I bought was a tammuz 16gb 3200mhz
This was really helpful!
Do I have to worry about static?
Do you need to enable XMP? If so, how can we go about it?
I didn't think there would be the exact video I needed lol
Awesome video, upgraded from terrible 8gb of ram and put dual channel ram awesome
Thank you
Lol this is so satisfying to watch, nice job man.
Will the HP pavilion gaming accept 2 16gb ram sticks I didn’t know if it had a max limit on how much ram you could put on this pc I just wanted to see if it was possible to if I ever wanted that much ram which I probably wouldn’t need it but just want to check before I put something in my computer I shouldn’t
Guys, I have the same model of pavilion, do you actually recommend upgrading the RAM, my dad had to upgrade his computer too and they said that is not a safe thing to do, especially on pre-assembled computers, since people came back complaining after their computer got broken. if you have installed the RAM, did the laptop accepted it? have you ever had problems since then? It's just that I wanna be sure, I need more RAM but I also need my pc to be intact hahaha.
Just make sure both are exact same brand and ram type/clock speed and your pc shouldn’t reject it
so after using laptop for awhile its safe to say you want another 8gb of ram, for example rocketleague and fortnite with settings on low and doing a bunch of tweeks to the laptop from yt vids rl gets well over 100fps and fortnite sits around there but this is with settings on LOW, a more demanding game i play is rust and with all the settings on its lowest without looking like complete garbage it gets 70 fps but i had to set the cap on 60 bc it would freeze up making it impossible to play
so if you have the 225gb memory model id say get it up to 550gb as youll eat that up 225gb but if you have more memory alr your good but i highly recommend more ram as youll be able to rise your fps and settings in ur games as 8gb is j not enough anymore. for taking off the back just be careful and use something like what this guys uses as i used a screw driver and i messed up the memory slot on the side. oh and extend your warranty if you still have it bc my laptop is in the shop bc it randomly shut off and im guessing its the motherboard and thats basically impossible to fix but if i had extending warrenty id be getting a new one rn
same as jocal’s comment I would highly recommend getting another RAM stick, I constantly use gmod for my laptop and it was perfectly fine for the most part but I’ve noticed that playing it nowadays jumps my memory usage up to 90%+
I have the same laptop and when the cpu is under pressure one fan is working fast but the other is very slow do you face this issue?
Helped me to upgrade the ram from 2x 4gb to 2x 16gb and also find out have 2.5 inch ssd space apart the m.2 . Thanks
may i ask where you bought the new stick of ram? (I was planning to go to best buy but I couldn't find it on their website) and in the description it says
"Supports up to 32 GB maximum system memory in the following configurations:
● 16 GB (16 GB × 1 or 8 GB × 2)
● 12 GB (8 GB × 1 + 4 GB × 1)
● 8 GB (8 GB × 1 or 4 GB × 2)"
did you just not put 16 GB x2? one last thing is it basically the same with the model 16?
that's what it says in the user manual and i'm still trying to figure out why
Very clear and helpful.
Could you please link me to the right ram to buy? I have this exact model I just don’t want to buy the wrong one. Pease
I am getting the laptop for my birthday gift
Nice…. I never see my Laptop 💻 inside…
I have the same ram model as you, but I got confused when I check in task manager that my speed ram is 2933 Mhz, but the package says it 3200 Mhz, so which one is the correct speed?
Trust task manager as it knows exactly whats happening and when is happening
Most likely because the other ram stick is 2933, and the other ram stick will also go to 2933.
The pc underclocks the ram by default to that
Your computer will cap the speed to the speed of your slowest stick of RAM.
@@saltygam3r75 because they are smart enough to not destroy themselves that way, got it
The limit is DDR4 32gb right?
Great tutorial, thanks! I was wondering why did you have to unplug the battery cable inside? It must be some kind of precaution, but what against?
imagine when i ordered one 8gb ram for 16gb upgrade and when i opened my laptop u see 2x 4 gb rams in 2 slots and u need order 1 more :(
am I supposed to use the old stick or do I have to buy 2 new ones?
If you’re gonna use the same speed of ram (for example here, 3200 MHz), then no, just buy the one. But if you want faster speeds, then go ahead and buy 2.
Great video. Why are there 2 different SSDs, the larger black SSD and the smaller one between the battery and the RAM ?
Simple and clear, great tut thank you
Thank you for the video. Should thermal pads be bought for the second ram stick?
Worked perfectly, great tutorial
Appreciate the tutorial, thank you!
Thanks a lot, this was extremely helpful.
Very helpful!
Very well laid out info. I have this laptop and it's my first foray into PC gaming. I love it. Only issue is mine came with 2 4g ram sticks instead of one eight. Should I jump to two 8g or just swap out one? And do you have any videos how to put in the 2.5 sata? (Found it)
2x8gb.
2x8gb all the way
Definitely too late but 2x8gb
can i put 2x16 ram to my 15-ec1xxx ?
thanks. its really helpful. i bought a new one and quite scared if i would break it. thanks
is that the 1st ram replaceable in hp pavillion dk0269tx???????plz respond
thanks for the help
That was well done, but I want to increase the SSD memory, which is so small. I would like say 1 TB. Can you buy and install this yourself? Also eventually the battery will go, and this is the first laptop I've had that didn't have the battery more easily accessible. Thanks, I only saw the long screws at first look! (mine is 15-ec0102AX)
So hard to get the plastic off after unscrewing everything
Thanks man!! Really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Thank you that helped a lot.
Thank you, great video very helpful!!
i like vid man. i like how u explain things nice and clear I'm really new at IT and this helped me a lot. I actually want to upgrade the RAM in my system i have the the same device. Can replace the RAM i already have with a pair of faster speed RAM? What i have is 2400mhz and i would like a little faster at 3200mhz. thx
It depends if your Mainboard supports it. But 3200 shouldnt be too fast for it, but look it up beforehand. There are PDF files for your laptop and your mainboard should be described there
Great video. Wonder if anyone can help, please: I have a HP Pavillion Gaming Laptop model 15-ec0xxx. Are the internals similar to the one in this video. Computer is reporting a faulty fan so I'd like to replace it but not sure what part number/fan to buy.
You should be able to take it apart like in the video. Then u should see the fans with an qr code. Scan the code and you get the number of the fan. Look it up online
This should do it for ya
thanks this help me alot
do both rams have to be the same brand in order to work? or can I have two 8gb rams of different brands?
Not necessary, it must be at same MHz and Gl values. That's enough at least. But if u use same one it would be more efficient.
Also make sure they also have the same latencies
I was wondering if it is possible to open it from the square where the fans are
