I was able to install RAM SODIMM Kingston 16GB DDR4 2400MHz CL17 1.2V and have 20GB of memory. It's also run faster now.
Thank you for watching and thank you for feedback.
How did you do it? I have corsair 16gb sodimm 3200mhz and it just gibes me black screen
@@BurkiOlmi Thank you for watching. Can you try different brand and not Corsair? Also 3200MHz is a lot different than 2400MHz, right?
Would it be okay to install 16GB RAM mentioned here or should we stick to the limot mentioned in the manual? @smooth.IT.operator
Hello brother, nice to greet you. I have a Lenovo ideapad 3 15ALC6 too, but its ram memory is 8 GB (4GB internal and 4GB in a free module). My question is if the device can support 16GB RAM (in the free module). First of all, Thanks!
Thank you for watching. Single SO-DIMM Slot: Supports up to 8GB - "free module" as you called it. This is the safest route to take. Some people in the comment section wrote that they installed a 16GB RAM module. The device booted into Windows for some people but I don't know how this 20GB of RAM behaves under load. You can go the safe route or take some risk and get the 16GB module.
Thanks for your video! I’m a bit confused though. You said there are 4gb already integreted in the motherboard, and you showed us how to install a 8gb memory module in order to have as much as 12gb. So, what’s the use of the module you replaced with the new one?
Thank you for watching. From 8Gb to 12GB. More RAM more smooth multitasking. Windows doesn't need to offload usually RAM workloads to a less desirable swap file on the laptop's SSD drive. Some people here put 16GB RAM module and is working for them. So 16GB + 4GB is 20GB altogether. Even better. Depends on how much you are willing to invest in RAM extension.
Thank you for this. I have 786 GB storage available and the system is slow. Tried everything. I use to study via websites. I have 4 GB RAM tgought it would be enough. Thinking of upgrading RAM as task manager shows 81% memory used when I have just website and PDFs opened. Haven't upgraded RAM and SDD storage yet. Thank you again. Open to any suggestions.
@@SGupta-y3f You are welcome. If storage is low, try getting and installing 500GB or 1000GB m.2 SSD NVMe size 2242 drive (blue padding on it in the video). You will also have to reinstall Windows on this new drive. Upgrade the RAM like in the video. I put buying recommendations from Amazon in the description box below the video. Wish you success and that you learn new skills.
Aye did the 8 gb crucial work ? Some people told me it didn't that this brand is maximum of 8 gb ram but I see alot of other places that it's 12 gb. I ordered one myself. Just wondering if it worked?
Thank you for watching. This job I did few weeks ago and I spoke with the very owner this morning about some McAfee AV issue. No complaints about the RAM though. Crucial works no problem for now, full 12GB reported in Windows. Successful upgrading and please share how it went.
@@smooth.IT.operator thank you so much. And will do (: appreciate it
hello i have a question, if i install a 8gb ram 2400mhz in my laptop does the dual channel works?
Hi! Thank you for watching. Good question. I even installed Crucial 3200MHz and dual channel worked at 2400Mhz. Maybe download Speccy app and check after you install your module. Successful upgrading!
hello, is there a ram that has 12gb by herself ? used to 4 8 16 but never 12 for exemple!
does it even exist ?
Thank you for watching. Not that I am aware of. 4,8 and 16GB RAM modules like you said.
This laptop already has 4gb ram and I need to add 4gb ddr4 bus 2400 ram to have 8gb ram, right?
Thank you for watching. Sounds about right. You have buying recommendations below the video.
Um i have a question, if i have 4gb ram DDr4 but i want to add more ram, so can i add 4gb ram ddr2, my question is can i add ddr4 with ddr2?
Thank you for watching. I don't think you can add DDR2 RAM. Not supported.
@@smooth.IT.operator Oh okay, But what if i added ddr3 4gb ram, does it will work?
@@SpeSialEditzz Don't think it will either.
@@smooth.IT.operator okay thanks, but i have a question please, Do you know the prices of 4gb ram ddr4?, And also, i have Lenovo IdeaPad 3 i3 11th generations but i dont know what type of 4gb ram should i add, can you give some examples of it?
@@SpeSialEditzz Check the prices on Amazon by opening the RAM link bellow the video and then search.
Hi there, I just bought this exact RAM for this exact model. Never installed RAM before. Is it just plug and play as shown in his video or do we need to make any setting changes before or after startup?
Thank you for watching. The RAM module should be plug and play just as you say, not necessary to do anything else. Successful upgrading.
@@smooth.IT.operator Thank you for this video. I was able to install the RAM successfully! However I have a problem with this laptop model where it always seems to show disk is at 100% and it runs incredibly slow. Wonder if you came across this? I was hoping that the RAM might fix the issue, but it persists.
@@justinian Don't mind me asking but are you sure the disk is 100% and not CPU? You looking at Task manager? Otherwise you might have a faulty SSD drive. What is the capacity of the drive?
@@smooth.IT.operator yeah Disk was constantly 100% and memory occasionally 100%. Additional RAM reduced memory usage to around 32%. CPU didn't seem to be an issue in task manager. The model we have appears to have a Seagate HDD SATA ST500LM030, not SSD unfortunately. Laptop model is the exact same name as in your video though. I've been looking at a bunch of steps online to reduce disk usage and they have helped a bit, but don't seem like permanent solutions. One tip online suggested if all else fails to use an SSD for boot up. I don't know if that's possible for this model?
@@justinian HDD seems to be failing. You can buy and install two sizes - m.2 2242 SSD up to 512GB or m.2 2280 SSD up to 512GB. You have my buying recommendations on Amazon (links underneath the video) . Definitely go for m.2 SSD. HDD is pain and torture as boot drive. Yours is failing, backup your important data asap. Download the Leonovo's hardware maintenance manual also I put for all of you in PDF file.
does 3200mhz work on this laptop ? or is it limited to 2400mhz because of the intergrated 4 giga byte ram?
Thank you for watching. Limited/hardcapped to 2400Mhz. You are correct.
It worked, thanks much
@@markodrazovicgaming Thanks for the feedback!
Hello there! Why did you disconnect the battery ?
Thank you for watching. It is common practice because you don't want to have electricity running through your motherboard when you touch it. It might get damaged including the components.
Compatibility Wd sn570 2tb nvme 3.0 ?
Thank you for watching. 2TB drive? Not sure. You will have research a bit.
Does this support dual channel?
Thank you for watching. Dual channel including soldered RAM and RAM module, yes. How effective? Questionable. But you definitely need more RAM so just upgrade it.
Brother I have a genuine question
Now I have 8 gb ram which is only 5.88 usuable and the vram in 2gb
And I have only one ram slot in my laptop
So If remove the 8 gb and upload the 16 gb ram will I get ram upto 12 gb ram or only 8 gb of ram usuable and 2 gb vram for my laptop
My pc
Processor - amd3020e
Lenovo ideapad slim 3
Thank you for watching. Can't check this for you since I don't have this laptop anymore.
hello brither same specs did u upgrade to 16 gb
@@himanshu17112 yes it's showing 2gb vram and 13.9 gb ram usable
@@Gameongoing thank u bro but in Lenovo it saying that laptop can only support upto 12 gigs of ram
@@himanshu17112 its supports up too 16gb My also showed it supports to 12gb ram
my memory usage is high can i get replaced new ram? Hardware Problems Were Detected. Your computer has memory problems then I was tying test memtest86 for my memory it is error. my screen is like flickering. . if I will gonna new ram install my memory? Then if my memory usage is low and won't show error or Detected? If my screen is gonna won't show flickering? Thanks let me know
Thank you for watching. Maybe your RAM module is faulty or damaged. Try replacing it if you are sure it the source of your problems. Even if memory usage is to the max, this should not cause the screen to flicker. Did you check the temperatures, are they high when laptop in under load?
@@guanagrace1923Download the CPU-z application and run it. It will list your precise RAM module under "SPD" tab. By the way, there is in the description underneath this video - RAM buying recommendations on Amazon that I put for everyone.
Thanks I found it I think DDR4 2666
@@guanagrace1923I don't quite understand this, you got a new module and it doesn't work? Flickering screen still continue to happen?
@@guanagrace1923I don't think so, it just one module of RAM or broken laptop. You will get a new one if needs to be and be fine again.
i have a question, what if i install 16gb ram (which will equal to 20 gb) even tho lenovo said the maximum capacity is 12gb
Thank you for watching. Check the comment section. There is a comment from Sobkas which answers you.
@@smooth.IT.operator i upgrade to 20gb ram and my laptop works perfectly fine, will there be any side effects in the future?
@@vghxst2657Awesome, thank you for the feedback! Unless you get Windows/Linux crashing you are good to go. Try running a testing tool like Prime95 to put load on your RAM and see how the laptop behaves, does the Windows crash or not when under load. It is safe to test.
@@smooth.IT.operator yo i start my pc and i got blue screen of death so yeah i dont recommend using 16gb stick, laptop takes about 5 minutes to shutdown and its behaving weird so i swap out the 16 and insert 8gb and everything is working perfectly fine so far
@@vghxst2657yo back to you. Thank you for the feedback. You might have a bad memory module. It is a common issues unfortunately. Do you think you can get it replaced? BTW what is the detailed specs of the module? "DDR4 2400MHz CL17 1.2V" for example?
If my model is 8gb, can I still install 8gb more? I'm confused about the 12gb limit.
Thank you for watching. Yes, this is what this video is all about. You will have to remove the 4GB RAM module (4GB is already integrated with the motherboard and you cannot modify this) and last step you will install your shiny, new 8GB RAM module and have 12GB all together. Check my buying recommendations on Amazon I put in the description of the video. Successful upgrading.
@smooth.IT.operator Ohhh okay, I thought it was 8 soldered plus 1 slot. Thank you for replying so fast ❤️
@@VOLATIL22 You can do this and will get a great experience. You have an issue, just let me know.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ADA6. Will it be the same?
Thank you for watching, hope you liked the video. I would recommend going to the link of the product specifications reference in the description box of this video. Then just search for your precise model there to see how much you can upgrade your hardware.
@@smooth.IT.operator Thank you so much for the tutorial. I wanted to add a secondary NVMe ssd to my laptop as well. Will you be able to do a video on that?
@@Warmachine-fortnite This laptop 💻 is long gone and back to my client's possession.
Bro can we add 16gb ram will it work
Thank you for watching. Look below in the comment section please. User Sobkas wrote he has total 20 GB RAM on this laptop and was able to install a 16GB module. Wish you success and please give me feedback if you were able to do it also.
Is there 2ram slots?
Thank you for watching. Only one RAM slot for memory expansion.
What if I don't disconnect the battery?
Thank you for watching. Somewhere in the world a cute puppy might pass @w@y if you did that.
@@smooth.IT.operatoralright but can I use a plastic giftcard to unplug it because I don't really have anything to unplug it
@@coryx17 Good thinking. Just don't pull on the wires because they might get torn. Disconnect the battery for sure because you have electricity going through your motherboard and you don't wanna damage any component. Every service manual warns about this. Successful upgrading!
@@smooth.IT.operator thanks man I upgraded it to 12gb ram and I can finally run windows 11 again thanks alot
Can I put a m.2 ssd and a ssd 2.5 SATA?
Thank you for watching. Product specifications reference which link is listed in the description of the video says " Laptop Model with 35Wh battery: up to two drives = 1x 2.5" HDD + 1x M.2 SSD". Capacity wise - 2.5" HDD up to 1TB and M.2 2242/2280 SSD up to 512GB.
Can I put. 16 gb ram
Thank you for watching. A person posting in the comment section said that he was able to install 16GB. If you are willing to risk it, try.
Can you try for me
