Ram compatibility

[randylol123]

I stupidly went to order a new set of ram for my laptop without realising that the ram is actually soldered on. However there is an open sodimm slot

Soldered ram: 4gb ddr4 2133
Additional ram: 8gn ddr 2400

Will there be any problems with mixing the two?? I really dun mind running in single channel as long as it works

Should be auto run at the lower frequency. I didn't have to touch any bios settings when I added 16GB 2133 to existing 8GB 2400

Its plug and play, assuming it is compatible. Even if ram capacity is different, it should still run in dual channel.

You can get it online from places like Lazada, Shopee, Amazon Prime Now, etc.

I bought mine from Newegg coz there was some promo and the price was quite reasonable

Hijack thread.

If my laptop comes with single 16gb 2666mhz, what happens when I add in another 8gb 2400mhz? Does the system runs in single channel mode or dual channel?
