Compatible memory for Nitro AN515-55?

fourpinz8

I wanting to upgrade the RAM and I'm wondering what specs do the RAM sticks need to be for my computer?

I was particularly focusing on these:

- https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164176 

Thank you.

Hi,
Yes, you can install memory modules with XMP profiles, another user has installed Kingston HyperX modules, you have to buy the SODIMM modules so don't buy the 288Pin modules in your second link, it states that it's for Desktops.
I also have to mention that you won't benefit from installing memory modules with XMP profile because the CPU in your laptop limits the speed of the memory to 2933MHz.
I would suggest you buy this:Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2 x 8GB) 260-Pin DDR4 3200 Laptop Memory - Newegg.com

Thank you.

Just as an addition and a though that you should consider, as you haven't told us what exact model Aspire A515-55 you have and what processor your laptop has? As there are allot of versions of this laptop. If you look at the Intel official specs for processors (which and even though they use this processor, their laptops might not be designed to take the full advantage of this processors max Intel memory specs) for this 10th Gen i7-10750H which is a 6 core, 12 threads, 2.5GHz to a turbo 5.0GHz, cache 12MB, TPD 35W, the max memory spec capacities for this processor and this refers to putting this processor into the highest spec motherboard(s) to get its highest performance. Intel quotes the following memory specs for the 10th Gen i7-10750H; Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) is 128 GB, Memory Types; DDR4-2933, Max # of Memory Channels; 2, Max Memory Bandwidth; 45.8 GB/s, ECC Memory Supported; No. Even this processors suggested memory type is not the DDR4-3200MHz, just consider these factors as its very helpful in determining the best memory for your system.

Just as an example and If your Aspire A515-55 runs either the i7-8565U, i5-8265U, i3-8145U, i5-1035G1 (which as far as Intel quotes this processor can run the DDR4-3200MHz) or the i3-1005G1 processors, Acer recommends for these processors a total of 32GB ram into its 2 slots of e.g. 2x of either (don't mix the capacities) 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB at DDR4-2133MHz or DDR4-2400MHz only of type standard JEDEC 260-pin memory at 1.2V. The memory that you have quoted is an overclocked DDR4-3200MHz memory and might not work in your Acer system as its not recommended by Acer, keeep to what your laptop is designed for asits performance will be the best and most reliable.

hi im ben,

you were saying this just want to confirm & check!

"Acer recommends for these processors a total of 32GB ram into its 2 slots of e.g. 2x of either (don't mix the capacities) 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB at DDR4-2133MHz or DDR4-2400MHz only of type standard JEDEC 260-pin memory at 1.2V."

i cant mix capacities like i have existing16Gb ddr4 3200mhz wanted to ad 4-8gb ddr4 3200mhz. so my intention to add up ram for my acer nitro an55-55 is not recommended??
