Can I upgrade to 3,200 MHZ ram on 2019 Helios 300?

blewyd

I have the 17.3 inch Helios 300 that I got from B+H. It came with 8gb of 2,666 MHZ ram. Is there a way I can upgrade the ram to where I have 16GB of 3,200 MHZ ram? Does the motherboard support 3,200 MHZ ram? Thanks.

You can and it will run but your motherboard support upto 2,666MHZ its mean if you add higher mhz ram then speed will be down to 2,666mhz so, buy 2,666mhz ram 

And in additional 
I do NOT recommend using two ram sticks of different sizes. Waste of money
If you want best ram performance then make sure 
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

It is not the MB who supports the ram speeds but the memory controller of the CPU and theoretically they can run on 3200mhz, but you have to overclock and this is not recommended for a laptop

@batmalinThe motherboard dictates the RAM speed.

Io invece il mio Acer predator e' installato con 16 GB di RAM con 3200 MHz ( le ram sono arrivate con il PC) ma vanno sempre a 2600 MHz. Non posso sbloccarele ?
