    Your excellent PHN16-72 high end gaming Acer laptop can work with 64GB DDR5-5600MT/s CL46 type ram (btw, some people have had this laptop working at 96GB DDR5-5600MT/s ram, but do the research on this capacity) best is to look at the Crucial ram upgrade for the PHN16-72 as they specify the following 64GB kit ram:

    Crucial 64GB Kit (32GBx2) DDR5-5600 SODIMM

    • CT2K32G56C46S5
    • Configuration ID: CT25447401

    DDR5-5600 • CL=46 • Non-ECC • SODIMM • 262-pins • 1.1V • 2Rx8 based • PC5-44800

    Note: I'm using the Crucial 64GB Kit in my PHN16-71 DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 and it works 100% and perfectly, so the Crucial ram will work perfectly with your PHN16-72 14th Gen Intel cpu also. Btw, also upgrade the boot M.2 Gen 4 x4 drive to the Samsung 990 Pro NVMe with Heatsink as that will improve performance even more, Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    our Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72 comes with two M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 slots. Since you already have a 1TB M.2 SSD pre-installed, you can add a second M.2 SSD to expand your storage without needing to replace the existing one.

    For memory, your laptop supports up to 64GB of DDR5-5600 SODIMM RAM with two memory slots. You can install two 32GB RAM sticks to reach the maximum capacity
