Can i use the following ram upgraade in Predator Helios 300 PH317-51

Jeremy7792

Hi one final question to you experts out there as Acer failed to reply to my question by email a few weeks ago. I wish to upgrade my memory from factory 8Gb 2x4Gb   to 2x16Gb and I do not know which type to use. I am looking for the best and fastest and have narrowed it down to two types but am not sure which is the best and fastest and which will work. My choices are as follows Price is not the issue only performance

Corsair CMSX32GX4M2A2666C18 Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2666Mhz 204 Pin SODIMM

or one of these

Crucial 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 SODIMM

Crucial 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2666 SODIMM

once again to all that made suggestions on my SSD cloning issue many thanks they were a great help

Yep, anything faster than 2.4GHz should work OK. Jack E/NJ

Well in the model i have Acer told me i can only use 2400 as i have model 

Acer Predator PH317-51-720W

Not always what it say's its the true what they say in the specs it's what it was tested with not the max that would support same as mobiles when they say it will only support for ex up to 32gb sdcard and i have 64gb same situation with ram and hdd/ssd's on laptops and you can see most of the H300 already come with 8gb 2666 not 2400 its the same mobo but hey if you want to stay with what acer says its fine with me i just stated that it supports because if my older G3-572 supports all the newer models will also support

The crucial dot com recommendations are guaranteed by them to work. Jack E/NJ

Hi JackE, thanks for your reply, however Cosair is also guaranteed and i just wondered if i could use DDR 2666 instead of the 2400 SODIMMS

@Jeremy7792 I don't mean to bring up an older thread, but I've been looking up the RAM model number you provided and it comes up as a 260 pin set, but you wrote 204.  Which is correct? Do you have a link you can provide?

Thanks!

JackE

DDR4Laptop is 260 pin. Jack E/NJ

Thanks uys for all the help, i can only use 2400 SODIMM and i choose the Kingston Hyper X 2x8Gb matched. My first choice Cosair failed to reply to my query after writing twice, so in the end i bought my second choice and everytthing works fine. Even better was the lifetime product guarantee that comes with the memory, and the automatic overclocking without having to touch the bios. I can thoroughly recommend this upgrade to anyone thinking along these lines to upgrade memory.

Jeremy, 
I just purchased this laptop for myself and RAM was the first thing on my mind to upgrade. 
Can you send me the link to what worrie out for you? 
Did you end up with 32Gb?

Thanks

You can also go to crucial dot com for specs on compatible DDR4 modules 2400MHz or faster, preferrably a matched pair. Jack E/NJ

Higher speed DDR4s are backward compatible with mainboards using slower speed DDR4s. This is usually the case with most RAM modules. Jack E/NJ
