I just purchased a G6-710 with 16 GB of RAM. Later I would like to upgrade to 32 GB. I tried to find information about the RAM in the Computer, but there was nothing on the internet.

 

Would the Kingston HyperX DDR4 2133MHz Predator XMS be compatible? Can I just add 2 x 8 GB or do I have to buy 4 x 8 GB?

    Hello,

     

    Here are the memory specifications:

    • Number of DIMM slot: 4
    • Maximum memory: 64Gb (using four 16Gb modules)
    • Data rate: 2133 MHz
    • DIMM type: DDR4 1.2V U-DIMMs
    • Supported capacities: 4Gb, 8Gb or 16Gb
    • Original memory modules: Hynix or Samsung.

    The link of Kingston compatible memory modules.

    If your desktop is equipped with Hynix memory, you will have perhaps compatibility issues.

    Hi Laurent

     

    Thank you for your answer. I already guessed that I will have to buy 4 x 8 GB to be on the save side. Funny I checked the Kingston site before I posted here, but the G6 was not even in the model list.

     

    Well, thank you very much for your help.

    I'm sure you have this sorted already but I went with two 8gb sticks of 2133 Corsair DDR4 from newegg.com and they work perfectly fine.  I only go with 16gb because while playing games they won't really use much of it (which is why 8gb is todays new standard), but I like having a little more than needed since it's so cheap.

     

    Of course, this is just for gaming and normal PC usage, if you are running virtual machines and what not then having more can help (or if you need more for work apps and what not).

    For video processing and editing, I am upgrading  to 64MB. Any special techniques the community knows about? Removing the cooling rig or thermal paste or voiding the warranty. Any experience sharing will be very much appreciated.

    Just buy the 2133 DDR ram with NO heatsinks on them, then wiggle them behind the cooler and you can snap them in.  It takes a little work but I did it without having to take the fan off the CPU Heatsink.  Have a good light shining in there because you will have to get a little creative on how to handle the ram haha, but it works.

    I have the side of the case off and can see how that would work. You just saved me a ton of effort and worry. Many thanks.

    No problem at all.  When you get the ram back there you have to go in at an angle, but it will slide in.  Take it easy.

    The ram modules that came with my predator G6-710 were Crucial Ballistics 2133mhz modules,therefore i think you should check which manufacturers RAM modules yours came with and just purchase 2 more of them for quad channel RAM.Thats how i got 4 8GB modules into it.Smiley Happy

    Predator G6-710 upgrading memory

    Will these memory sticks be compatible with the preinstalled memory sticks on an Acer predator G6-710?

     

    "Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 16GB, 2x8GB 2400MHz (PC4-19200) DDR4 CL17 SR x8, 288pin, Single Ranked"

     

    Installed on my pc are two: "Crucial DDR4-2400 UDIMM, 1.2V CL 17". 

     

    The problem is that the Produktnumber of those i am intending on buying is : CT2K8G4DFS8213, while on those i have installed is CT8G4DFS824A.
