Hi
I have a ASUS TUF A17 FA707RR with 1x16GB RAM DDR-5 4800. second slot is free.
I would like to add another 1x16GB.
Does it have to be the same brand or is it ok to mix ? If so can you please recommend what to buy?
I have downloaded CPU-Z software and checked existing RAM, it is :
SK HYNIX - HMCG78MEBSA092N.
Many thanks
Mike

Sorry to hijack this post, but I am looking at getting one of these models - how are you getting on with it ?
Are you impressed?
Thanks

I'd say it's good but not perfect. I would not buy it again. My son has an Acer Nitro 5 and this one looks more durable, has a clearer keyboard for me. Overall I think ACER it's a better choice but that's just my opinion. Performance way i cannot say anything wrong about Asus.

It doesn't need to be the same make but it should be the same speed and timings.

If you go to this crucial page you can find compatible ram for your machine using the tool. I have always used crucial ram for upgrades and not had any issues. Once you get the part number you can search for where it is cheaper.
