RAM Upgrade for Predator Triton 300 i7-9thgen

Micron 16GB 3200Mhz

or

Kingston16GB 3200Mhz

Hi,
There won't be any huge difference between them because Kingston module may have DRAM modules produced by Micron, however, your CPU may support only up to 2666MHz, could you please post the full model name of the laptop and the CPU, like PT3xx-xx.

Can you confirm whether the ram mentioned (Specifically the Kingston) will work with this model?

Hi,
Could you please post the full model name of the Kingston module.

It's confusing to know what really is the frequency of my RAM because when I check it on CPUZ it indicates that it is 3200Mhz.
It also indicates that it is 3200Mhz in Predator Sense.

But

When I check it on the Task Manager, it only indicates 2667Mhz. Which makes very confusing.

Here are some screenshots.

Even in Admin CMD it indicates it's 3200Mhz

Yes, same CPU, so the speed limit is same for both models.

Is this the case for this model as well?

Hi,
Yes, because both laptops have same CPU.

For what its worth, I got off the phone with Acer Predator support and looking into the technical docs they stated 3200 would be supported. Hmm... now I'm confused.

Hi,
Original poster asked about a different model to your model, so please start a new thread.

My apologies, I was looking at a different model than yours and your model can support up to 2666MHz only, sorry for the wrong information.
If you install 3200MHz modules, it will downclock to 2667MHz, like in this link:https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/24463014

Does this mean that, though it indicates on the Photo's Attached that the Frequency is 3200Mhz, It only has 2667Mhz on its full potential?

Hi,
Yes, it's because of the limitation by the CPU, I am unable to understand why CPU-z and PredatorSensing reporting as 3200MHz, sorry.

Does it make a difference when the CPU Reaches 3200Mhz?

Because while playin, I checked Predator Sense and it indicated in the CPU that it Reached 3200Mhz.

Does this mean that it's compatible to run a RAM that has 3200Mhz Frequency?

xapim · July 2020

jetjavz214 thats the frequency of your cpu has nothing to do with the ram at all your cpu supports 2666mhz only check your intel specs on intel website if ps/cpu-z its recognising the ram at 3200 there must be a mistake/glitch for sure as i said check your intel specs the limits are set by intel and microsoft not the manufacturer the real speed its what windows task manager recognises as its what the system is working with doesnt really matter much what ps and cpu-z are reporting if its not the same clock as on task manager
