Hello , does the r5 4600h version has two ram slots?
@@aminboudjerada9614 yes
Hey ! Thanks for the video ! One thing that got me worried is that you purchased Crucial DDR4-3200 but when you opened the task manager it says you got 32Go at 2933Mhz. On my Legion 5 I have 16Gb 3200Mhz and wouldn't want a downgrade to 2933 if I up the RAM to 32Gb using 2x16 DDR4-3200... Have you solved the issue ? or are you stuck to 2933 despite having DDR4-3200 installed ?
Bro that selled this laptop
Thanks for the help!
This helped me alot, didn't have confidence to take anything apart until I watched this, followed step by step and its worked perfectly. Thank you brother! Subscribed!
Really happy to hear that. Thank you for the support!
Is this the same for the Lenovo legion 5 15ARHO5? It has ryzen 5 4600h and gtx 1650 .
Protip, push the clamps back in before placing the ram shield down so it actually locks in place
My man! I did exactly the same thing and the click was damn satisfying and safe too. Thanks brother.
Lol
lmao
doesn’t matter either way the ram shields don’t do anything
@@justyahz796 if you wanna remove something that the manufacturer placed there, that's on you
Going to be upgrading my Legion 5 to 32GB soon, so this helps a lot. Had it for around 2 years at 8GB of ram, so kinda overdue.
@@gamzdude bro same doing mines today 👌
UPDATE.. Recently upgraded to the 80wh Battery as well. Flawless.....
Everything was as expected due to your simple, yet informative, tutorial. The 32gig kit provided in the discription saved shopping time and worked flawlessly. Thanks again. You are much appreciated.
You're welcome! Glad it helped you!
Your video saved me money! I almost took it somewhere but you made it look so easy so I did it myself. It was a little hard getting the back off even with the prying paddle but I did it. Removing the battery power supply was a little hard too but putting the ram in was so easy! Took me i think 15 min because I was being extremely careful since I have never done anything like this before. Thanks again!!
Really happy to hear it helped you!! You're awesome!
Thank you gives me encouragement too
Just got this laptop on clearance. Will definitely be upgrading the ram on both slots now. Excellent tutorial!
Wanna donate or sell your stock 8gb?
Wow! Interesting. I've been searching for specs info on the Legion 5 and all I found was that the max capacity was 16GB Ram, which I couldn't believe since it's considered for gaming. But you proved to me that indeed nowadays vendors don't even bother to share this information. The model I have is a Lenovo Legion 5 82B10052US but it should be the same thing since they're both Legion 5, still I wonder why the information provided is an incorrect one.
But thanks to you I can be assured that I can happily upgrade my ram :) thank you!

@@Yeet-kc2lt yes i have that config it can go up to 64gb 2x32 and i think thats the limit, the limit of the ram depends on the cpu i think and u can search it on the internet
This video should help when trying to figure out the max RAM capacity on any Windows 10 PC th-cam.com/video/WxKgoA2JzHg/w-d-xo.html
I read that lenovo wrote more then 16gb ram wouldnt bring a significant increase, because the mainboard doesnt sees any different if its more then 16gb. Maybe if you have 8gb ram and you upgrade to 16gb it would bring improvements. But i dont think when u upgrade from 16gb ram to 32gb or 62gb would bring any big improvements tho.
I was able to upgrade my Ram thanks to you. My Memory went from 96% while Playing Diablo 4 to 48%.
First time opening any sort of computer and can I just say that back cover was hell to get off, it wouldn't pop out for half an hour but everything was smooth once I got that open. Thank you so much for this video
Suffering rn with that
Thanks for this video. You made it look very easy an I'm looking forward to giving my legion 5 a ram upgrade after watching this.
let me know if the ram runs at 3200 and not anything below.
Cheers Mate, Just upgraded my RAM and your video was brilliant 🔥 Tough getting that back cover off but I managed after a bit!
Bro can you update ssd in this laptop?
@@mohsinali-um4fj yes you can look it up
I'm getting the Legion 5 (new) 82B5001XUS, which is a 2020 model, just for casual gaming, browsing etc. Thanks for the video. I got it for $699 which is a killer deal, imo. Because it comes with an SSD, and 1TB HDD, going to upgrade mine to just 16 gigs though. Has one 8 gig stick. I hear they last a lot longer than the competition, so I'm not worried about it being an older model.
Just upgraded my ram thank you so much. I was so stressed im literally felling dizzy now its over ^^’
There's actually a setting in the BIOS (spam F1 and F2 at the startup screen) that disables the battery, if you do that you shouldn't need to disconnect it.
How to re enable it
@@ApostateAbdul just plug it into the charger and the battery automatically reactivates
Spamming f1 and f2 not working
Thank you for this video! Just upgraded the RAM on my fiancées Legion5, took all of 10 minutes max. Super straightforward 😂
Just did mine today, helped me a lot! Appreciate it man, many thanks. Feels much smoother now
Thanks for this, i'm typing on my newly upgraded laptop! I had the exact same upgrade as you, even down to the Crucial chips. While i had it open i took the opportunity to clean my fans with a toothbrush too. Very easy to follow, thanks again.
Went from consuming 30% RAM while idle to 13% - huge jump. Would strongly recommend upgrading.
I was nervous & anxious the whole time but by god I got it done. Thank you!
I hear you there it's stressful. Glad it was uneventful for you!
Thank you for showing the importance of removing the battery before installing anything.
I see so many youtubers not removing the battery in their vids, It's f*cking crazy!, one tiny little spark from the battery and your whole laptop could be DEAD.
I started watching knowing nothing, I finished watching knowing everything. Great video!
You’re a star! Just got one of these for gaming and needed a RAM boost.
Ok I got it working and yes it supports 64gbs of ram 2x32gb ddr4 3200mhz I just successfully booted first try!!!
Wow, is it recognizing all 64gb?
@@GaugingGadgets yup I'm actually very happy about this. Speed was automatically downgraded to 2933, which is totally understandable its some kind of firmware stability thing.
@@SERGE_Tech Nope, it has nothing to do with stability. Most of RAM for gamers is sold not rated as native speed (JEDEC), but instead is reaching 3200 only with an overclocked XMP profile. On one hand XMP is an intel thing, so AMD is naming it another way. Second only desktop mainboards can overclock RAM, be it with intel's XMP, or AMD's equivalent thing. 100% of laptops can not overclock RAM. It is all a scam, so when we purchase for example the legion 5, we have to pay top dollar for more RAM from the vendor, instead of getting RAM later. If you do it blindly and don't know how to check in CPUZ, than yes you can upgrade up to 64gb, but it will run at the highest rated JEDEC profile speed for that particular RAM module. Pretty much noone, except for Kingston, publishes their JEDEC profiles for the RAM parts. Only with Kingston you can read and find out which RAM unit will have JEDEC profile for 3200 (in our case), with the rest of brands, you need to do trial and error. It took me hours to find which one would work for my legion 5. Now it runs the 16gb RAM @ 3200, but if I would have wanted 64gb it would also have been running at native JEDEC 3200 profile. The moral from the story, one has to read a lot instead of watching and making quick superficial videos. I have a question to the publisher of this video: Did you check in CPUZ at what speed your upgraded RAM is running? I am ready to bet it is most likely at 2666, or 2933, but certainly not at 3200. For the curious above I gave all the answers you need to make your lenovo legion 5 run its RAM at max (64gb) and at full speed (3200).
@@hyperactivefarms I’m 8 months late.. But could you give me the brand of ram you chose and potentially a link for a recommended one?
@@HardstuckFragger get 2 of these (for a total of 32gb), or 2 of the 8gb stick (for a total of 16GB), but from the same model, since those are guaranteed to support JEDEC @ 3200 MHz between the 2 sticks. Kingston ValueRAM 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL22 SODIMM 1Rx8 1.2V - KVR32S22S8/16
Gosh this ones really hard to open. I’ve opened up a lot of laptops in my time dang
Thanks dude. Followed step by step procedure and upgraded it with extra 8gb Ram
You really made it simple in other videos I can't understand because of complicated style of opening back cover
This was very helpful! I’d never really taken apart my laptop before. Thank you so much!
I just did it step by step, thank you very much!
The best video and tutorial on how to open the bottom cover of this Laptop. Thanks a lot dude!You saving us some time and headache on that edgy part. ehhe
Saw a guy upgrade a laptop's memory, did everything like you showed, screwed it back together and... nothing. One of the memory chips was bad. He then explained that he always tests them out, before he screws the back on, except this time. And this was the time when he should have. Moral of the story? Check that the system works before you button it up. And if you are lucky, it will always seem like a waste of time.
Thank you!
My legion was a bit different but I also did the 8GB to 32GB upgrade from Crucial.

this helped me thank you, when I opened it I didn't know where to find the RAM and was afraid to loose waranty if opened the wrong shield
After you plug the battery out hold the power button for 5-10 seconds go get the excess electricity out

Can you make a video on how to do the SSD as well? I have a 512gb laptop that I want to upgrade to a 1tb but don't know how to. This video was extremely helpful and I'm hoping you'll do one on the SSD (or however you call it, I'm actually pretty new to gaming laptops and I've never upgraded my storage before 😅)
Fantastic video! Very clear and to the point. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks fam you the real mvp I can't finally play some games at full potential
Your awesome mate, this helps a lot, I just bought 2 memory rams for my Lenovo Legion :D hihi 32GB of ram will be awesome.
Great video thank.. can we just add other 8gb of ddr4 with 3200mhz or should i wory about timing and voltage?
Thanks for sharing this video, I've just bought these through the link you supplied to Amazon 😊 Hoping to be able to run Star Citizen with this upgrade 🥳
You helped me a lot sir. Thanks 🙏
omg thanks so much i been searching for ram upgrades and you helped the most thx!
Great vid! Is it okay to just keep the stock ram and use a different ram brand as long as their tthe same speed, voltage, etc? (i.e. stock ram + 8gb Crucial ram)
just make sure timings are the same
Yes! It’ll work even if you have different speeds, ram has no problem underclocking to match a slower stick (you may need to enter bios to underclock manually if it doesn’t automatically).
Linus tech tips has a great video on mixing different brands and clocks of ram.

I have the same laptop and I have almost completely used up all 8gb of ram that came with the laptop so thanks for the vid! Have you done one about upgrading the storage with it as well?
Just use an external harddrive
Hey thanks for the video! Was really helpful! :)
Honestly it's been a whole hour I'm trying to open the back lid... Never seen a laptop so hard to open
Thanks for the tutorial. I could have done it if i've bought the correct ram. 😢
great vid! i had it up while i was upgrading my laptop!!
Good god finally got it open I was very impressed with this laptop tell I had to open it Jesus! Those little plastic hinge things are done....
It is much harder to open then other laptops.
Hi. Is there a slot for a 2nd SSD to be added?
@@Omar_Little yes, if you take out the hard drive there is an other m.2 slot
After opening it for the first time it's a peoce of cake

gave me a relief i thought legion 5 8 gb ram is soldered and cannot be replaced
Question I just looked at your 16 gig link I see that's for 2 8 gigs and what I'd like to know is can I just buy one 8 gig and add that to the stock 8 gig that came with my legion 5i or do I need to get the 2pack and replace
same question here
For this if you just want 16gb could mix and match the crucial and the stock ram or do you have to get 2 of the same 8gb
Thanks for the easy to understand guide!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
worked great, good stuff man
my screen not turning on
can i add more 8gb ram on the other ram slot to make the laptop 16gb?
Hi, I've recently tried to upgrade my Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H ftom 8GB to 32GB using this tutorial. I purchased two 16GB RAM sticks and put them into the slots like you did. However, when I boot up my laptop, it recognises that there are RAM sticks in each slot, but only uses 4GB from each, meaning that my total installed physical memory is 8GB when it should be 32. Do you have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance :)
it works perfectly! Thanks buddy

Hey I forgot to remove the battery and I had a spark putting the RAM cover back. What should I do ?
The screensaver is Belém Tower in Portugal 👌🇵🇹
How did you manage to open the laptop cover near the exhaust area? I’ve been struggling for an hour now
Same
figure it out yet 7 months later? I Just upgraded mine ... used a skinny flathead screwdriver to pry up everywhere FORWARD from the vents aka the front of the laptop, and then just with my slightly grown out fingernails, gripped into the sides of the vent area and just gently but firmly pulled/pry it up & away from laptop, and they popped off of the vent areas easier than expected...... 2021 Legion 5 17" version
@@Sir...... Yeah I got it a while ago, even forgot I wrote this comment, I just used a thinner guitar pick and it worked.
This was an interesting video
Question: I want to have 16gb ram. If there is already an 8gb inside my legion 5, should I just buy 1 8gb stick and put it beside the 8gb stick that came inside my legion 5 or should I buy 2 new 8gb sticks?
Thank you! A huge help. My laptop had fewer screws but otherwise set up exactly like yours.

My friend said that upgrading my laptop was going to be a pain in the ass. This video disagrees. Looks like I'm doing an upgrade in the very near future.
Great video, I liked and Subscribed! ;)
Awesome, thank you!
What are the specs of the pre-installed RAM? Is it CL22?
Thanks for the video
Important Extra tip after following this guide myself: put some cloth beneath your laptop, or it will get all scratched on the top cover while you are removing the case.
Thanks a lot man 🙏🏾
JUST ORDERED MY 32GB OF RAM FROM THE LINK YOU HAD IN THE DESCRIPTION!!
🔥💯❤
CANT WAIT FOR MY NEW RAM COMING THRUSDAY!!! 🔥💯
GOOOOOOD STUUUUFF!! ❤️🔥
if you dont reconnect the battery
the laptop works just by power from the wall?
thank you
So the battery isn’t going back in all the way. Like it gets close but one side doesn’t move. Any way to fix this?
Can you keep the original stick of ram and plug in another 8gb ram stick? If they're the same ram stick? Or what if they're different but both still 8gb?
Thx it worked :)
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Tanks man you are best
