What type of RAM does Helios 300 support?

Seiraa

Is the Helios 300 compatible with a stick of 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz and a 4 GB DDR4 2400 MHz? What are the best RAM Brands/Manufacturers in the market? Quality and budget-wise

ven98

Yes it is, which will result in total of 20GB.

The maxmium amount of RAM you can add is 32GB(2x16GB) DDR4 up to 2400MHz.

But is it possible to combine a stick of 16 GB and a stick of 4 GB? @ven98

ven98

Yes it is, which will result in total of 20GB.

Hi, in my helios 300/ 572 , I found a single 16 GB/2666Mhz, just out of the box, that,s working flawlessy, and soon, I'm going to add an other 16Gb/2666, to have them, working on dual channel. 
It seems that 2666Mhz RAM stick, even if not officially, supported, works without issues on our laptops.

And not  working at 1200 mhz but on full 1333 !  (2666 on single channel)

I'd like to add a few things.

Helios can also take DDR4 2666mhz ram.

Also.. if you add a 4gb ram card to a 16gb ram card you will lose dual channel functionality (which is important) and your higher ram card will downclock to match the lesser ram card so an ideal setup would be:

1) Both ram sticks to be of equal size
2) Both ram sticks to be of equal voltage
3) Both ram sticks to be of equal CL (cas latency)
4) 2666mhz DDR4 ram sticks

Although the difference would be negligible between 2400 & 2666 if your planning on utilizing a minimum of 16gb.

I do NOT recommend using two ram sticks of different sizes. Waste of money.

Would be better to just use the single stick of 16gb then to add the 4gb and throttle.

Hello sir/ma’am good day, can i ask it samsung evo pro 970 if its compatible to acer predator helios 300? Thank you and advance

xapim

Like it was said by @Red-Sand it supports up to 32gb ddr4 2666 i have 32gb hyperx 2x15 dual  installed and @FIGARO2018 yes also supports m.2 nvme ssds
if anyone want's to upgrade ram my advice is either buy the same stick you already have to be able to work in dual channel or the safest buy a dual channel set of 2

I have a question here.. Can I use two ram ram with the following configuration mentioned below:

1) 8 GB DDR-4 (2400 MHz Single Channel)
2) 8 GB DDR-4 (2666 MHz Dual Channel)

I have already booked a dual channel ram of higher clock so can anyone confirm me that there will be no issues on compatibility.

Thanks

No you should never mix ram from different clocks it will always work at the lowest and may create serious incompatibility issues you have to get 2 sodimms same size clock/cl to work in dual channel and preferably dual channel ready sets from the same brand

Thanks for answering my query.. I just wanted to know one last thing..  will the incompatibility will result in performance downgrade or will work normally... As I have already placed the order so I will cancel it if it is necessary.

xapim

Prasanjit it can result either in performance downgrade only or system instability or both its a hit an miss so again i strongly dont advise it

Is this for i5/i7 7th gen, or 8th gen based predator helios 300??

Amanpreet2000

I'm thinking of buying 2 of these for my predator helios 300 i7 7th gen + 1050ti, 8 gb 2400 ram 

PRGA9

My Acer predator Helios 300 has sk hynix 8GB DDR4 which cost 5850Rs And I want to extend my Ram , I choosed Kingston  hyperx 8 GB DDR4 which cost about 2,845 Rs . I want To know to difference between these two Both the Ram are 2666 Mhz .

PRGA9

Also suggest me that should I replace sk hynix 8GB  fromD TWO hyperx DDR4 ram.

PRGA9

Or just adding Hyperx with sk hynix is safe ? Because I heard combining 6,000 Rs Ram with 3,000Rs Ram will damage my predator cpu

JaCen

Hey guy. I just want to ask, for those who already replaced their RAM on Helios 300. What brand do you recommend? im planning to put 2x16GB DDR4. Thank you guys. 



Appreciated.
