Hi, I recently got a new laptop that come with 1 x 32gb stick of sk hynix ram, 5600 think it's cl42 which would run in single mode.

I was tiling of upgrading to 32gb of kingston impact ram but with 2 sticks 2 x 16gb
It is 5600 ram but I read my laptop with so it down to 5200 in dial mode? Will that matter?

The specs for the kingston show as cl40.

I wonder if I will see any difference at all by upgrading this to dual rank with a faster CL etc

The kingston ram also has on die ecc.

Regards
James
 
I was going to replace what I have with the kingston ram, not add to it, if that's what you meant?
Do you think I wouldn't see any advantage of using the dual kingston in place of the 1 sk hynix one?
 
Thanks for your replies Tetras.

The ram I have is Sk Hynix HMCG88MEBSA095N 32gb 5600 clock 2800
Timings are 42-42-42-82

I can't find this particular stick unfortunately, looking on crucial it gives me Crucial 32GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM
I'm not completely up with how the timing work and change, especially when it lowers them to 5200, but the timings for the crucial say the default jedec is 46-45-45 which seem a bit worse, once both are lowered to 5200 would they then both run at 42cl?


I have thought I might just try to add another 32gb to match rather than trying to make it faster, which I probably don't really need.
 
So, i took the plunge and got the 32gb of kingston fury ram, which went smoothly.
I have posted new screen shots from cpu-z. would you say they look ok, and hasn't slowed anything down as i thought it might? i didn't think it would stay at 5600mhz, but I think it may have?


 
Hi there. I'm a few months late for this but hoping you're still following the thread. I've just picked up an asus proart studiobook. Currently has 32gb (very similar specs to yours). I need to get to 64gb for video editing. Sounds like I'm best to go for 2* new 32gb sticks of kingston fury 5600mhz (or similar) rather than trying to find something to match the 32gb that's already in it. Is yours still working smoothly? No worries if you've moved on from that set up. Thanks.
Hi Gislon,
Yes, everything is going nice and smooth with my laptop still, they are really nice laptops, aren't they?
I had no issues with moving to the Kingston Ram and the laptop is running it automatically at it's optimal settings.

I think I would definitely opt to get 64gb of Kingston if I was you, than try to match the Ram you already have.

I had a quick look to try to match what was inside at first, and found it pretty hard trying to find the exact part, so would have had to be a different make more than likely if doing that.

You would need the Kingston Fury Impact PnP 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MT/s DDR5 CL40
