I wanna do 32gb. And at the requured speed with ia 2933mhz and use 2 sticks. Ive had people say to use 2666mhz because of power problems and crashing and idk if i should get 3200mhz or just get 2933 mhz. Any recommendation would be greatly apperciated. This is my gf laptop but i use it to play videogames. Like escape from tarcov. And she uses it for school and programming. So i really dont wanna mess it up.

    "AstraeaZe" firstly and this could be why you didn't get a response, its because you didn't specify what type of CPU your Nitro 5 AN515-55 has installed? As there are two types of memory fitted by Acer for different CPU specs for the AN515-55 laptop, I would suggest that you fit the following memory that Acer recommends for the best performance for your laptop, this is especially with the max total memory of 32GB of 2x 16GB into its 2 slots and they are as follows:

    For the "Intel Coffee Lake-H" I5-9300H and the  I7-9750H type CPU's - the suggested Acer memory is the DDR4 2400MHz or the 2666MHz of the types below:


    For the "Intel Comet Lake-H" I5-10300H and the I7-10750H type CPU's Acer fits and recommends the DDR4 2666MHz or the 2933MHz type memory like below: 


    Note: do not fit overclocked memory like XMP type RAM or any memory manufacturers hyper memory, only fit standard memory types that are recommended by Acer on the lists above for your laptop.

    "NO" the caption below shows all the memory module combinations that you can fit into your AN515-55 and into its 2x memory slots! You can't have 1x 32GB DDR4-2666Mhz module into just one slot it won't work.

    The best is to get a 32GB KIT of 2x 16GB DDR4-3200Mhz as that will work with your AN515-55 with the  "Intel Comet Lake-H" I5-10300H and the I7-10750H type CPU's and the 2x 16GB KIT of DDR4-2666Mhz is the best and fastest memory that you can fit if you have the "Intel Coffee Lake-H" I5-9300H and the  I7-9750H type CPU's as a KIT form memory has 2x similarly paired memory modules that will work the best together. As far as the specs of the 16GB memory is concerned, match the 16GB memory specs that Acer recommends above for the appropriate CPU's, its a simple formula that has been tested and works the best.
