Ram Upgrade Aspire 5 a515-54g

Zamy

Hello,
I'm Using Acer Aspire 5 a515-54g, i want upgrade my Ram. 
As you all know one slot is soldered into the motherboard & Other one is upgradable. 
So can i add 8gb ram in that slot, if yes then please suggest a compatible Ram that supports my laptop. 
Thank you

Hi,
It depends on your CPU, if you have the latest CPU like i5-10210u, you can use a 2666MHz module, if not, you have to buy a DDR4 2400MHz 8GB SODIMM module and install.

To find out your max ram capacity do this, go to cmd prompt and use it as administrator and use this command:

• wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

 

The above example shows that the MaxCapacity is 8388608 with a MemoryDevices of 2 (btw this part tells you the max slots of a mainboard, some OEM mainboards have either 1 or 2 or even 4 slots for ram, that is what this part tells you) then you divide whatever this says which in this case its MaxCapacity is 8388608 that you divide by 1048576 which = 8, this tells you that the maximum RAM capacity is 8 GB. If your motherboard has as in this example 2 memory slots, it means the maximum RAM capacity per slot is 8 divided by 2 = 4 GB per slot. This is the best way to determine your max ram capacity, it’s a simple way to find out.

Hey, I own the same Acer aspire 5 a51554g. I run the command in cmd and the result was...
I wonder in every document it says that this laptop has 4Gb ram soldered into the motherboard and the results from cmd are different can anyone explain me this!

Hi,
Could you please download and install CPU-z, run it and post the pictures of Memory and SPD tabs for both slots, your model comes with either 4GB or 0GB onboard memory.
