Hi! I realize this is a bit of an old video but was hoping someone would see and answer. I recently got the 15 inch Lenovo IdeaPad 330. I haven't taken a look inside it, but the specs said it had a 4GB "Soldered in" RAM with a free port for RAM. Now, my question is - if I wanted to put in 2 8GB SODIMM sticks I already have, can I remove that soldered in one and put in the 2 others? (One in the soldered-in-one's spot and one on the upgradable slot) If it is possible, I'll most probably take it to a professional with the right tools (would get my opinion there but can't cause worldwide lockdown) instead of just ordering a 16GB online now.
Hi, Avid Gamer, While it looks like the soldered-on DIMM stick might be serviceable on certain models, it may require some work, and might void your warranty. Below, I've included the page from Lenovo, if you've gained, have, or know someone who has the expertise to change it out.

The RAM was not soldered on, it was just a single slot for RAM that has a 4GB stick. It could easily be replaced with an 8GB stick of RAM. The video shows this single slot stick of RAM at the 2 minute mark, check it out, what you see there is what you get when you buy from Walmart like I did.

Yes, I didn't do this myself but you can buy a caddy such as this one amzn.to/2RUjh6d and then put an SSD in there. Be aware the optical drive in the IdeaPad 330 is a 9.0mm size so make sure any caddy you get has the same clearance, many are 9.5mm and so might not fit.

Hi Laptop reviews can i please have your advice. I recently bought a Lenovo ideapad 330 intel corei7 with 4GB RAM. I use laptop for programming and it is very slow, it's even jamming. So is the 4GB RAM not good for programming purposes??

The 4GB is not soldered, there's only one open slot so you would have to purchase one 16GB stick of RAM and swap that with the 4GB stick then just get rid of the 4GB stick (or use it somewhere else, give it to a friend, sell it to someone). The problem is 1 x 16GB stick are very expensive, well over $100 amzn.to/2PNgFFG
@Laptop Reviews hello. in manual i saw that step before switching RAM is disable battery pack. doesn't it matter ? second question: do you know what kind of latency lenovo put in their notebooks?
It is prudent to disconnect the battery, but also somewhat challenging if it's an internal battery. Do make sure the laptop is completely powered down, you are grounded and have touched a grounded metal object prior to replacing RAM (this will discharge any built-up static electricity from your body). It's a good idea to power down the laptop and wait at least 30 minutes for voltage to dissipate from the laptop. I'm not sure what you mean by type of latency Lenovo puts in their laptops?
Only one physical memory slot? How many different Ideapad 330 models are there? I have the 81DE model with 7th gen i5 and 4 gig of memory. Things is... the system profiling tool in Windows 10 tells me I have used "1 of 2 slots" SODIM 2133 mhz. Thanks.
I think Kingston is trusted and as long as it has the specified ram requirements of the laptop, which is in case the lenovo 300. More info here about the ram: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/IdeaPad/ideapad_330_14IKB/ideapad_330_14IKB_Spec.PDF

It should help some yes, just remember the CPU will reserve the dedicated space you allocate for the integrated graphics and effectively reduce the amount of RAM usable for the rest of the system to 14GB, which should still be more than enough.

@@baileyesola4038 not necessarily, some processors will only support lower voltage memory and there are different types and speeds. While it is true that most motherboards will downclock RAM to the lowest common clock speed amongst all the RAM, this is not always the case.

Hi, great channel. Just a quick one. When I change my normal HDD for an SSD my track-pad doesn't work anymore, what could be causing this as I installed all the drivers I could but still it didn't work.

I'm thinking of purchase the laptop and replacing both the hard drive and the ram with something more efficient. Where can I buy the replacement Ram (6 or 8gb) and Hard Drive (1tb)?

Kindly tell me what frequency you used and latency
Now a question for you bro
DDR3 or DDR4
Which one of this two
this is a ddr4 and its max capacity is only 8gb ram
I have the 330 with intel hd 620 I was thinking of upgrading the ram to 16gb and allocating 2gb of ram to the onboard graphics chip. Do you think this would improve gaming performance? Thx
It should help some yes, just remember the CPU will reserve the dedicated space you allocate for the integrated graphics and effectively reduce the amount of RAM usable for the rest of the system to 14GB, which should still be more than enough.
I wouldn't recommend that, if you look up the specs for the processor, it supports a max of 8 GB RAM. ark.intel.com/products/128988/Intel-Celeron-N4000-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-2-60-GHz-

you can't upgrade laptop cpus I don't think. However there is another model of this laptop with an Amd-A9 9425 which I own.
Does the Ideapad 330ikb have 1 or 2 ram slots ddr4??
What do I have to pay attentiom to when buying a new RAM card for the Lenovo ?
When u are not able to work on more windows then u were able to before that means ur ram has become slow and u need to replace the ram
Where can i buy a memory stick?
i want to upgrade mine too.
16gb is enough?
Crucial.com is the best place, but its currently under maintenance.
Did you manage to upgrade?
what is the slot under heat sync?
looks like ngff slot.
is that it?
No this particular model does not have an M.2 slot, it's a low end IdeaPad 330, maybe one of the more expensive varieties does.
I believe it's an mSATA slot, you may be able to put an mSATA SSD, but the BIOS may not support mSATA SSD. You would also lose your WiFI.
@@kwong83 what if i remove the cd drive and install a 3.5 inch ssd using a caddy? would it support then?
@@fireme4908 I would just put a 2.5" SATA SSD and call it a day. You would get the same speeds if you were to use an m.2 to SATA adapter, the SATA port is the bottleneck. My client bought these thinking they were a good deal but they were painfully slow doing the most basic office tasks. Replacing the HDD with a 2.5" SATA SSD helped it a lot.
Can i use 8gb 2666mhz for my Lenovo Ideapad 330 ? (Ryzen 3)
Did you manage to upgrade?
Hum... I need help, i don't relly understand the english (i'm french), but where is the 2nd RAM's slot ? Because, I see the description of the PC, and it said "4gb no removable" and "20gb max", please help me
This only have one ram slot.
Is it possible to swap from ryzen 3 board to ryzen 5 board? does it has same mount?
no
So these laptops have 4gb of ram on the motherboard , so what is the maximum Ram memory stick you can put into the removable SO-DIMM slot ?
Most models do not have onboard RAM and it is limited to the 1 SODIMM. The 330-15IGM I have in my shop has a Celeron N4100 and the max RAM supported by the processor is 8GB
apparently according to google if your computer is a 64 bit then it can run any ram card
@@baileyesola4038 not necessarily, some processors will only support lower voltage memory and there are different types and speeds. While it is true that most motherboards will downclock RAM to the lowest common clock speed amongst all the RAM, this is not always the case. Having a 64 bit OS does not have anything to do with memory speed. It only allows larger memory addressing meaning you can use more than 3 gb

Hi, great channel. Just a quick one. When I change my normal HDD for an SSD my track-pad doesn't work anymore, what could be causing this as I installed all the drivers I could but still it didn't work.
Try plugging and unplugging it back
Lol stupid answer but try press the track pad enable button on the keyboard
Could be a pinched or damaged wire. Seeing as how this is a year ago from your original post, you might have already troubleshooted and resolved the trackpad issue?
@@firestormsentry80 Thanks for the response, turns out only 64 Bit has the drivers for my trackpad.
Can you use the cd drive to place a ssd thru caddy?
Yes, you can!
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom how
For ip 330 two slots are not available for ram?
hi i got the same laptop can upgrade de processor from i3 to i5 let me no tanks
Sorry but the answer is no, you cannot upgrade the processor on the IdeaPad, it's just not designed to do that.
Sir, if there is any slot for NVMe
CAN I INSTALL AN SSD ON THIS LAPTOP? AND IF SO, WHAT KIND OF SSD WOULD IT BE ??? SATA SSD OR SSDA WITH SLOT M.2 NVMe?
can you also upgrade the processor on the ideapad 330?
Unfortunately no, there's just no way to upgrade the processor. That's pretty standard for all laptops though.
Thank you, very helpful!
I'm thinking of purchase the laptop and replacing both the hard drive and the ram with something more efficient. Where can I buy the replacement Ram (6 or 8gb) and Hard Drive (1tb)?
I recommend using the Crucial.com memory selector tool to find the correct RAM, here's a link www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Lenovo/ideapad-330-15arr and then you can buy a 2.5" SSD from any tech store or popular online store such as Amazon or Newegg
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom, thanks
Is there heatsing with a fan that you can buy to upgrade the laptop?
You can't, the Celeron processor has a different screw pattern than the i3 or i5 models on the motherboard so you would need to change the mount for the heat pipe
can its processer changable
no, unfortunately there's no way to upgrade the processor
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom is it printed to mother bord
I thought there is soledered ram on the 330 and you need to put the same gb and ghz for it to function
That's not the case? I wonder the same
Can u suggest the best gaming ram for this ideapad 330 laptop
@@lukewatson059 it will help run game programs a bit more smoothly tho but i see what you mean, for overall specs it is best to build your own
What is the name and type of ram to get for the 330-15IGM with Pentium Silver N5000?
Could a Kingston SSD work on a Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15IGM?
Any 2.5inch SSD brand works. They are all SATA.
This laptop inclued ram on slot?, if I want to upgrade ram, do I have to replace the ram in that slot?
Yes.
I am aware the CPU is not upgradable, however can i upgrade the graphics card or is it part of the CPU/motherboard?
the main issue I have is while I'm aware this laptop is definitely not intended for gaming purposed if I can get it strong enough to run rainbow six siege at a playable level, id at least like to try haha I don't know if I can update the dedicated video ram since the laptop I have is a Lenovo IdeaPad 330 with only 128 dedicated video ram.
my processor of my laptop is Celeron N4100 so i have 4gb ram i dont know if it is ddr3 or ddr4, can i change my ram into 8 gb ram ddr 4? and do i also need to change the bios setup?
pls reply sir thanks!!
How do it's cooling system work :-/? there's no fan.
What model of ideapad 330 it is?
There is a fan, it's under the heat sink. Look at page 48 of this guide to see the fan location: download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/330-15ich_330x-15ich_330-17ich_330x-17ich_hmm_201806.pdf
The Ideapad 330-15IGM uses passive cooling for the Celeron N4100. You can see the heatsink here: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OeMAAOSw-f5baxAi/s-l1600.jpg
What type of M.2 slot does it have? SATA or NVMe?
Sata III
Single channel ram must cripple performance .
Doesn't matter when it's a Celeron in there.
yeah, I have the amd model and it's quite slow but hopefully when I upgrade to a 8gb ram it will be faster.
how many ram slot does it have? 1 or 2?
1
Is this laptop motherboard a ddr4?
is the ram heatsink necessary?
no
It's ddr4 2666mhz?
ddr4 2133mhz.
I was wondering if you have any idea about i3 7020 version
Does it have solderd ram or I have to replace the 4 g stick with 8 g stick
The i5 version one of my clients have had 2 RAM slots and no soldered
im my version 4gb ram is soldered,can i add 8gb stick in slot?
My understanding is that there are some versions with one soldered on RAM and one open slot, so you could upgrade the open slot with an 8GB stick but you cannot remove the 4GB that is soldered on there. I only had one slot (non-soldered).
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom same for me. 4 gb open and 4gb soldered. Can I add 16gb instead of 8gb in open?
@@ashutoshborate6117 no you have to install 8gb . that way ur notebook will have total of 12gb which is the maximum ram support
@@LaptopReviewsDotCom Can you help me out please?
I have 4GB soldered and I have one slot given to add an another ram.
Can I add an 8Gb stick? Or should I opt for another 4Gb stick? The laptop supports total of 16 GB I believe.
So can will I be able to access dual channel mode on 12 gb of ram?
Or should I just stick to a total of 8GB? I find 8GB bare minimum for running windows 10.
Any help would be appreciated.
@@rahulsawhney1279 How do you know that's the max ram support?

Please update the video for Lenovo Ideapad 330 RAM upgrade
sorry for the question,,because im not a tech savvy,,,lenovo built-in RAM is 4gb ryt?,,,does it mean I can only add additional 4gb RAM?? or I can add upto 8GB ram?..thanks for your kind reply.. :)
nice vid btw...thanks for the tutorial..
You can add an 8GB to make a total of 12GB but it will still be slow. Processor is the bottleneck
I've looked all over, but I can't find what RAM is compatible with the Lenovo Ideapad 330 with AMD Ryzen 3 2200u (Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.50 GHz graphics). Anyone know where I can purchase the max RAM possible for it? Not gonna solve all my probs, I know, but I run top of the line games on lowest settings with minimal stutter, just wanna ensure my RAM can't be blamed for bad performance. Plus, if possible, anyone know how to change the dedicated video RAM? Cause I have done everything possible, and the dedicated video RAM doesn't increase, just the virtual memory (is at recommended {1862Mb} for initial and max is set to 2048Mb, but the DVRAM stays at 256Mb, even though I have 8gb ram {7.55gb usable} which was said to have at least 512Mb possible DVRAM), any suggestions to boost the performance of my laptop would be greatly appreciated
Did you find ?
@@Ephaaaa never did, and unfortunately it's due to it being integrated graphics. No matter how much more RAM I put into it, the total video RAM never changes. It's bottlenecked by the processor and motherboard, so what you get is what you'll have. Hope this helps.
is it use ddr3 or ddr4? and what is the maximum ram can use?
DDR 4
lol I already bought it 1month ago and I only know the answer/reply now XD

so what is the max ram can use?
@@d.a-lifestyle
On lenovo vantage program we can upgrade it to 32 GB, on the site I see the max is 16 if the lap had 2 slots , & the max will be 12 if the ram solided to board ,so I don't know what is right .
How's the model memory?
Does is has dual RAM slots ??? Plz reply ??
No, this model does not have dual RAM slots, only one.
