Is there any place to find an official max RAM capacity for the Acer Predator Helios 2022 PH 315-55

Potentially important context: I have the 795C model of the 315-55.

I'm looking to upgrade from the base 2x8GB RAM sticks to either 2x16 or 2x32, but before I end up getting the larger sticks, are they even supported in this laptop? When I Google it, most websites have conflicting claims, some saying 32GB is the max, while others state that it's 64GB. Is there any official source to find this out?

    Below is the RAM upgrade info:

    The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-55 laptop supports a RAM upgrade to a maximum of 64GB, using DDR5 SODIMM modules. It has two memory slots and typically comes with 8GB or 16GB of installed RAM.

    64GB total (2 x 32GB modules)

    The Speed would be 4800MHZ

    The best guide is the cpu designed max memory specs. Your Predator Helios PH315-55 that uses the Intel® Core™ i7-12700H Processor 24M Cache, up to 4.70 GHz has a max design capacity of 64 GB using the DDR5-4800 MT/s CL40 which is the type of ram that Acer specifies for this laptop also.

    What I suggest is that you look at the suggested kits from Crucial ram (which is a Micron built ram) see HERE for their range of suggested ram for your PH315-55 laptop of th e64GB or the 32GB as they both work.

    Note: I'm using the Predator Helios Neo PHN16-71 laptop with the Intel i5-13500HX cpu and the Intel memory design for this cpu is 192GB max capacity ram @ DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 of normal ram ONLY not the XMP overclocked type ram. So the Acer suggests max ram specs is only what type of ram was available when Acer have tested the laptop when the laptop was released and is because they didn't have access to larger capacity ram.

    Yes, Acer suggests a max 32GB at DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 for your PH315-55 model laptop, but its limit is 64GB, Just as an example, my PHN16-71Acer also suggests max 32GB ram but I've upgraded this laptop to 64GB and another Acer community member has updated his i9-13900HX cpu laptop to 96GB ram, and my and his laptop is running perfectly and without any lags, crashes or BSODs with 64GB or 96GB capacity ram. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
