It most likely has to be 3200mhz Cl22. I replaced an 8gb 3200mhz stick with a 2x8gb/3200mhz CL22 kit of G.Skill in a laptop with a Ryzen 5 4600h/GTX 1650 that has no XMP settings in BIOS and it runs at 3200mhz. So glad I didn't ty the CL16 kit!
Same for the Pavilion desktop I bought with a 5700G. It had a single 16GB stick of JEDEC 3000MHz. It wouldn't let me use dual 3600MHz sticks at anything but the base speed.

I was so happy to see that you reviewed a laptop that I have. Mine was from Micro Center's Platinum Collection and it had a Ryzen 5 5600H with a 1650 and a 144hz panel for $699 before taxes. I did upgrade the RAM in it to dual channel running at 3200Mhz and it's going very good so far for me.
That's an impressive laptop configuration for the price! Also I like that when you open the laptop from the bottom, you have access to the harddrives and ram without having to take the keyboard, trackpad out while disconnecting the most fragile ribbon cable connectors imaginable. With that said, good job HP, let's just hope this laptop isn't made of the cheapest components that die out after 1 to 3 years like most other HP products.
Mate, there's been 4600h + 1650 laptops for a while now. About a year or so. This ain't that impressive. If anything its overpriced since there really should be a rtx 3050 80w in there.
@@ogmodiji6024 Nah man, only HP can make bad laptops. Not lenovo (s440), acer (2019 nitro), asus (tuf a15), razer (older blade 14's), alienware (anything recently released), etc. I even have limited experience backing it up.
Having the majority of PC users game at around the GTX 1060 range is great. Game developers must look at the analytics and optimize their games to be able to run well on at least that card and it shows for the most part!
I've said it for months : entry level laptop priced didn't really got inflated that much (1650 and 1660 parts didn't get too high at least) and if you want a gaming system, some laptops can be a very good desktop replacement with enough IO to do all you want (maybe with some dongles).

good food for thought. Given the market, how about also doing a “local” prebuilt review from Mike’s Computer Shop, Canada Computers and Memory Express? I was literally on their websites and wondered if they were any good and directly came to your channel….
The problem you are having with the RAM with the Ballistix kit is that it runs at 3200 MHz(MTs), CL16, @ 1.35v and that particular HP laptop JEDEC settings are meant for 3200MHz(MTs) CL20 @ 1.2v. You may want to look into a different kit, I am aware HyperX has kits of Dual Rank, 3200MHz(MTs) CL20 @ 1.2v which should increase performance accordingly.
I picked up a 960 2 GB back in October for $50. It actually works well with older titles and eSports games. However, I would recommend the 4 gb version or something better like the 970.
I think that the RAM problem comes down to HP being shit when it comes to non-proprietary componenets. The GPU is probably being pegged because of HP's bios and how it interacts with the components. And as always HP has fucked up CPU thermals.
Ram problem is just that Ballistix ram is rated 3200 when overclocking with XMP, which isn't well supported on many laptops. All Ryzen based (4000 & 5000 mobile cpus) laptops I have seen requires JEDEC rated memory to run on advertised speeds. Ballistix sells 2666Mhz JEDEC memory as an 3200Mhz "XMP tested". JEDEC timings and speeds comes from SPD ROM chip on memory itself. At least Kingston have 3200Mhz JEDEC spec memory packages and have 3200Mhz JEDEC timing information on SPD ROM, while Ballistix has only 2666 JEDEC settings on SPD ROM. I have been on that trap too... And cursed this a long and hard.
If you are in the market for one of these EVGA 1060s Get the EVGA 1060 SC they only boost a little faster, but the heatsink on the GPU is much better, the Fan an the plastic shroud looks the same, but the heatsink isn't a Aluminum block of depression like it is on a normal 1060. 1060SC can stay a lot cooler and keep its Core clocks higher underload.
I know it doesn't have the same horsepower but one of my computers have a 1050ti with that same shroud and I think the heatsink is a chunk of pure aluminium without cooper plate and it barely goes over 60C when running at 100% (which is most of the time honestly)
I have a HP laptop from 2017 which looks very good and serves my need very well. It has r5 m330, which is not a gaming gpu but hasn't disappointed me much. Recently I have recommended the same HP Pavilion laptop you showed to a friend, and she is very happy. After seeing your review, I am glad I have recommended her this laptop.
I find it extremely amusing that once Dawid gets to the "...the HP Pavilion Aroma Dispenser is actually not that bad" line, there's a tiny fly walking from the [ key to the - key @ 5:37
I have the same Ram kit in my laptop, it's compatible with Intel XMP to boost ram clock speeds, but not with Ryzen it seems. Crucial ought to specify this in their marketing.
I have cursed Crucial for that as I have had same problem with those SO-DIMMs. Most of the Ryzen laptops seems to require JEDEC 3200Mhz chips to run advertised speeds. Jedec chips are more expensive than XMP 3200 as those XMP chips tend to be slower rated chips with some test to verify them with XMP overclocking.
It is even mentioned in that Amazon page, speed "2666MT/s, 3200MT/s" which means 2666mhz JEDEC and 3200mhz XMP. Dawid either didn't read so far, or didn't know that laptop doesn't support XMP. It has to be 3200mhz in JEDEC standard to it run at 3200mhz without XMP, of course.
@@leevi6026 I didn't read that far. 😅 But I assumed that laptop ram would be rated for JEDEC considering they usually have more limited bioses compared to Desktops. You know what they say about assuming though.
Okay WTF is this coincidence! Let me explain: I was just watching some random tech videos on the internet for fun, and I really enjoy some of the silly experiments you make, BUT I got really intrigued with this video and its thumbnail because somehow you made a review of the exact model of the laptop I own (except for regional difference, keyboard being french layout) 2 years ago, I did buy mine shy a fortnight after you released of this video, like what the fuck were the astral planes aligned during August 2021, and you made a significant upgrade of the RAM, WHICH I ALSO DID RECENTLY LMAO, though I did find one kit of 2x8 Go actually running at 3200 MT/s. I really appreciate all of the content you make, you go and find your way of making us thinking about the proper way to buy tech things, and you provide a professional benchmark in which that everything you do piques my interest. I don't think i will stop binge watch your videos, be as new, or even older.... :D
I actually had the same issue with memory. I got the same kit for my Envy 15(Ryzen) and it showed up as 2666. Turns out it was a voltage issue, the HP needed a lower voltage ram kit and then it ran at 3200mhz.
I find myself watching more and more videos off you rating "systems" I'm 36 at the moment so i grew up with them.. but time moves so fast it's hard to keep track of everything. And that's where you come in. Explaining all sorts off stuff and bringging me up to date. Funny, i have an MSI laptop (GF72 8RE) It has an i7 8th gen And also an 1060 card But mine has 16gb off ram.. Plays nice. But if you ever get the chance I would love the see you do a review off this laptop. Keep up the good work! You're helping people like me alot! Grtz from Belgium
hey Dawid, would you do a comparison between a desktop build and a laptop in the same price range and evaluate the differences and which is better at the current market situation?...
I would honestly buy that RAM since I'm struggling with 8GB lol and my CPU only supports 2667MHz max Faster RAM probably would of helped in this test as I'm guessing there is shared VRAM in the laptop and some games might be using it
What CPU do you have? Most "say" they only support a certain speed "officially" but then allow you to use higher speeds with "overclock" settings. I think even 5th-gen Intel should go much higher than that.
“A graphics card that has been in the top spot since I was a medium sized child,” So, like a week? Love your content man. Keeps us medium sized children entertained.
This was the laptop was recommending for a friend who's kinda in the working class side of things yet still wanted to game and do work more quickly, in comparison to her old hp pavilion back in 2014. Glad to know you've reviewed it
My Girlfriend actually owns this same laptop but with the i5 variant instead. It runs everything pretty much just as well as you would expect for a laptop but her GPU is the GTX 1660ti model. So the framerates are much better, even with the standard 8GB RAM configuration. My own laptop, the ROG Strix G512LW came with 16GB of DDR4 @ 3200hz, which was a pleasant surprise because, like you said, it's not common to see in laptops. (and the ram is from Samsung, so score lol).
Thanks for the Vid! I'm sure others probably already mentioned but when watching the Vid at 6:03 the first thing I noticed was the Crucial Ram packaging had 1.35v rating. Right off the bat knew XMP required to get full benefits. The thing I looked for awhile when I bought my 32GB of ram for AMD laptop lol : o ) Cheers to a New year and what it may bring lol
I have this same laptop but with a 10th Gen intel Core i5 and a GTX 1650 ti. I got that exact same RAM kit sent to me from Crucial (was an RMA) and I too ran into the speed issue. Upon looking it up, "JEDEC" memory is needed to run at the higher speed in a proprietary motherboard like what HP has in their laptops. I cannot run XMP profiles due to the intel Extreme Tuning Utility not recognizing the CPU/motherboard as having the XMP "feature". I am still very happy in my choice to buy this laptop when it was on sale at Target for $599.99
I'd be mildly interested in seeing the performance difference between that 1060 and the SC version which has a substantially better cooler, despite looking the same from the outside. I can say from experience though, you'd probably want to change the thermal paste. I had one and it ran hot as balls and loud as hell when new. A quick thermal paste change dropped the temps and fan speeds significantly. Naturally, it boosted way higher too.
This is reassuring to hear. I recently got back into gaming and I picked up a used OP-LP2 for 400 with the GTX 1060. I had no idea the capabilities for this card and I'm reassured that I have a very capable rig, although the thing gets hot like crazy... Even with a cooling pad and Opolar vacuum cooler attachment! I should be good for a long while since I mostly play indie platformers that aren't too graphically demanding. Haven't been interested in AAA games lately.
Man , finally a review on a laptop that i also have kinda same specs , i have 90 degrees on my cpu and i was worried about it but many people say that its ok for a laptop to be at 90 degrees while in full load
Nice video as usual Dawid. I find Kingston HyperX sodimms which are xmp/jedec-ready usually get their advertised speeds and timings on laptops. They have tight timings too
I actually own the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2253ng, replaced the WLAN module against a more relyable AX200, and I bought the G. Skill Ripjaws F4-3200C22D-16GRS which run relyable at 3200 MHz. Using AMD APU Tuning Utility I could raise the TDP safely to 55 Watts.
I used to have a very similar laptop. It was an hp pavilion with a 1050ti and an 8th gen i5. I only had it for a year, before I had to get rid of it. It had WAAAY too many issues. It overheated, under performed, had a ton of pre-installed hp programs that heavily altered the speed of the overall device (which was unable to be uninstalled), countless issues with the gpu/cpu. Plus the hinge wore down over the course of the year. I took my laptop to a ton of different people, and none of them managed to fix it. Who knows, hp could’ve changed, but I kinda doubt it. But to anyone looking to buy an hp pavilion, don’t.
I bet the cooling system is the same as acer nitro 5(gtx 1050, i5 8th gen). Shitty and stupid cooling design. My fan turns full speed by just opening edge 😂
I have this laptop I got it 450 during a Best Buy sale. HP is really killing it. It was the base variant like this video. I opened it up and put 16 gbs of ram and an SSD to expand the storage. So worth it. The only thing that sucks is that some models don’t have an ips display (some have a TN panel)
I have this laptop (but with a 1050 instead of a 1650) and I really like it. I got it on a black Friday sale for $400 and at that price it is pretty good. For some reason, it has a 3gb version of the 1050, which I didn't know existed.
I think the 1050 (3gb) is a 1050 Ti minus 1gb of vram, it has the same number of shaders & TMUs, and 24 ROPs instead of 32 ROPs dues to the memory change.
I have this laptop with the 5800H and 1660ti Max Q and upgraded the RAM and it's great. I looked at the 1650 version first but the 4Gb VRAM just doesn't seem enough anymore.
Dawid I was having that problem on ryzen master on one of my miners. Uninstall ryzen master, delete the regkey folder for ryzenmaster, restart and reinstall. I got it working had the same issue. I believe its something to do with the new update to the chipset and the huge security exploit that was discovered and patched last week.
Thats pretty good. I got a $600 laptop that was refurbished cuz i wanted a 2-in-1 it was a 2 year old lenovo with an i5 8th gen and 8gb of ram so the fact you can get a new gaming laptop for $100 more is insane.
I wanted to mention that I had just watched this video and walked into my nearest superstore and found an HP Pavilion much like this one, boasting the same specs, but when I went to the task manager, it read completely different specs and especially a much worse GPU for the exact same price! I took a short video but I’m unsure where to share it
i'm not 100% certain but I think you need "JEDEC" memory to make it run at 3200mhz without having the XMP option in bios.
Yes this is the reason, the RAM has to be rated at 3200MHz by SPD/JEDEC specs, otherwise it won't run at 3200 unless the BIOS has an XMP toggle.
Indeed :)
Yep, I had the same issue with Dell G5 SE. Only kit I could find was a Corsair Vegence. Real PITA to find.
It most likely has to be 3200mhz Cl22. I replaced an 8gb 3200mhz stick with a 2x8gb/3200mhz CL22 kit of G.Skill in a laptop with a Ryzen 5 4600h/GTX 1650 that has no XMP settings in BIOS and it runs at 3200mhz. So glad I didn't ty the CL16 kit!
Same for the Pavilion desktop I bought with a 5700G. It had a single 16GB stick of JEDEC 3000MHz. It wouldn't let me use dual 3600MHz sticks at anything but the base speed.

@@leevi6026 I didn't read that far. 😅 But I assumed that laptop ram would be rated for JEDEC considering they usually have more limited bioses compared to Desktops. You know what they say about assuming though.
Okay WTF is this coincidence!
Let me explain: I was just watching some random tech videos on the internet for fun, and I really enjoy some of the silly experiments you make, BUT I got really intrigued with this video and its thumbnail because somehow you made a review of the exact model of the laptop I own (except for regional difference, keyboard being french layout) 2 years ago, I did buy mine shy a fortnight after you released of this video, like what the fuck were the astral planes aligned during August 2021, and you made a significant upgrade of the RAM, WHICH I ALSO DID RECENTLY LMAO, though I did find one kit of 2x8 Go actually running at 3200 MT/s.
I really appreciate all of the content you make, you go and find your way of making us thinking about the proper way to buy tech things, and you provide a professional benchmark in which that everything you do piques my interest.
I don't think i will stop binge watch your videos, be as new, or even older....
:D
So in the 1060's Tenure Dawid went from a medium sized child to a large man-baby?
Haha!! Exactly.
I actually had the same issue with memory. I got the same kit for my Envy 15(Ryzen) and it showed up as 2666. Turns out it was a voltage issue, the HP needed a lower voltage ram kit and then it ran at 3200mhz.
Oh damn I was right about the laptop being the hp pavilion
I find myself watching more and more videos off you rating "systems" I'm 36 at the moment so i grew up with them.. but time moves so fast it's hard to keep track of everything. And that's where you come in. Explaining all sorts off stuff and bringging me up to date.
Funny, i have an MSI laptop (GF72 8RE)
It has an i7 8th gen
And also an 1060 card
But mine has 16gb off ram..
Plays nice.
But if you ever get the chance
I would love the see you do a review off this laptop. Keep up the good work! You're helping people like me alot! Grtz from Belgium
Man, the new setup looks good! Hope apartment has more breathing room now xD
Haha!! It's so much better! Thanks for the comment.
It’s sooooo much better. I keep being surprised at how much space we have now 🤣
I got this same laptop with a 1660ti max q for $600 used guy only uses it for 2 months before selling it to
As an ex-HP employee, stop buying their awful hardware.
Unfortunately offices needing cheap pcs will buy them anyways
RANGER that!
hey Dawid, would you do a comparison between a desktop build and a laptop in the same price range and evaluate the differences and which is better at the current market situation?...
suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper underrated man
5:37 who else saw that bug walking over the keyboard?
I would honestly buy that RAM since I'm struggling with 8GB lol and my CPU only supports 2667MHz max
Faster RAM probably would of helped in this test as I'm guessing there is shared VRAM in the laptop and some games might be using it
What CPU do you have? Most "say" they only support a certain speed "officially" but then allow you to use higher speeds with "overclock" settings. I think even 5th-gen Intel should go much higher than that.
"Shared VRAM"? Can you elaborate please, I have never heard of shared video memory. Like, integrated graphics style?
my biggest flex is that my prebuilt came with dual channel ram
“A graphics card that has been in the top spot since I was a medium sized child,”
So, like a week?
Love your content man. Keeps us medium sized children entertained.
😂
This was the laptop was recommending for a friend who's kinda in the working class side of things yet still wanted to game and do work more quickly, in comparison to her old hp pavilion back in 2014.
Glad to know you've reviewed it
Let’s gooo!
My Girlfriend actually owns this same laptop but with the i5 variant instead. It runs everything pretty much just as well as you would expect for a laptop but her GPU is the GTX 1660ti model. So the framerates are much better, even with the standard 8GB RAM configuration. My own laptop, the ROG Strix G512LW came with 16GB of DDR4 @ 3200hz, which was a pleasant surprise because, like you said, it's not common to see in laptops. (and the ram is from Samsung, so score lol).
Thanks for the Vid! I'm sure others probably already mentioned but when watching the Vid at 6:03 the first thing I noticed was the Crucial Ram packaging had 1.35v rating. Right off the bat knew XMP required to get full benefits. The thing I looked for awhile when I bought my 32GB of ram for AMD laptop lol : o ) Cheers to a New year and what it may bring lol
Video I'd love to watch,
A Laptop vs A Desktop Setup and they both cost same money!
Ohhhh hell yeah..... Dawid is back....
I have this same laptop but with a 10th Gen intel Core i5 and a GTX 1650 ti. I got that exact same RAM kit sent to me from Crucial (was an RMA) and I too ran into the speed issue. Upon looking it up, "JEDEC" memory is needed to run at the higher speed in a proprietary motherboard like what HP has in their laptops. I cannot run XMP profiles due to the intel Extreme Tuning Utility not recognizing the CPU/motherboard as having the XMP "feature". I am still very happy in my choice to buy this laptop when it was on sale at Target for $599.99
5:38 there is a bug on the key to the right of the zero key lol
Hey Dawid You might remember me you migit not but i hope you have good luck in your future and be even popular then Linus.
Love the content! Keep it going.
5:39 there's a bug crawling on the keyboard 😂😂
This is a fun concept for a video... More quality buying advice and conjecture for the common person. Bravo.
I absolutely love your new office! :D
thumbnail is fantastic. so clean
great Video Dawid new studio is looking great
congrats on the new studio setup Dawid!
5:37 You having gnat/fruit fly problems too Dawid?
would love to see more laptop vids, was totally gonna say would love to see some pc/laptop mash ups
that was a really comprehensive video, i really enjoyed it.
Ooh. New studio looks great. Just noticed!
I'd be mildly interested in seeing the performance difference between that 1060 and the SC version which has a substantially better cooler, despite looking the same from the outside. I can say from experience though, you'd probably want to change the thermal paste. I had one and it ran hot as balls and loud as hell when new. A quick thermal paste change dropped the temps and fan speeds significantly. Naturally, it boosted way higher too.
This is reassuring to hear. I recently got back into gaming and I picked up a used OP-LP2 for 400 with the GTX 1060. I had no idea the capabilities for this card and I'm reassured that I have a very capable rig, although the thing gets hot like crazy... Even with a cooling pad and Opolar vacuum cooler attachment!
I should be good for a long while since I mostly play indie platformers that aren't too graphically demanding. Haven't been interested in AAA games lately.
A video in your new studio, nice!
Hey David why not Compare The ASUS TUF A15 RTX 3050 Ryzen 7 4800H version vs like 1650 normal or any popular gpu like that, it would be interesting
5:39 whats your pet bugs name?
Damn I'm liking the new studio.
Hey, like your new set up in studio!
The set looks great. Nice job Dawid.
Man , finally a review on a laptop that i also have kinda same specs , i have 90 degrees on my cpu and i was worried about it but many people say that its ok for a laptop to be at 90 degrees while in full load
Nice video as usual Dawid. I find Kingston HyperX sodimms which are xmp/jedec-ready usually get their advertised speeds and timings on laptops. They have tight timings too
That's pretty cool. I bought a similarly spec'd prebuild for the same price last year and laptops usually run a premium.
this is the one i was saving up for just like i thought lol very nice job man
I actually own the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2253ng, replaced the WLAN module against a more relyable AX200, and I bought the G. Skill Ripjaws F4-3200C22D-16GRS which run relyable at 3200 MHz.
Using AMD APU Tuning Utility I could raise the TDP safely to 55 Watts.
5:38 fly in the b roll, noice
I used to have a very similar laptop. It was an hp pavilion with a 1050ti and an 8th gen i5. I only had it for a year, before I had to get rid of it. It had WAAAY too many issues. It overheated, under performed, had a ton of pre-installed hp programs that heavily altered the speed of the overall device (which was unable to be uninstalled), countless issues with the gpu/cpu. Plus the hinge wore down over the course of the year. I took my laptop to a ton of different people, and none of them managed to fix it. Who knows, hp could’ve changed, but I kinda doubt it. But to anyone looking to buy an hp pavilion, don’t.
I bet the cooling system is the same as acer nitro 5(gtx 1050, i5 8th gen). Shitty and stupid cooling design. My fan turns full speed by just opening edge 😂
I have this laptop I got it 450 during a Best Buy sale. HP is really killing it. It was the base variant like this video. I opened it up and put 16 gbs of ram and an SSD to expand the storage. So worth it. The only thing that sucks is that some models don’t have an ips display (some have a TN panel)
I have this laptop (but with a 1050 instead of a 1650) and I really like it. I got it on a black Friday sale for $400 and at that price it is pretty good. For some reason, it has a 3gb version of the 1050, which I didn't know existed.
I think the 1050 (3gb) is a 1050 Ti minus 1gb of vram, it has the same number of shaders & TMUs, and 24 ROPs instead of 32 ROPs dues to the memory change.
These _sexy_ laptop GPU temperatures is paying off to the longevity of the components.
Great review!
As an owner of a refurbished HP Elitebook, why didn't HP stick with the single latch method of popping off the bottom cover?
With RYZEN 5 you have to enable XMP in the bios. I had to do that when I built my PC
I have this laptop with the 5800H and 1660ti Max Q and upgraded the RAM and it's great. I looked at the 1650 version first but the 4Gb VRAM just doesn't seem enough anymore.
Dawid I was having that problem on ryzen master on one of my miners. Uninstall ryzen master, delete the regkey folder for ryzenmaster, restart and reinstall. I got it working had the same issue. I believe its something to do with the new update to the chipset and the huge security exploit that was discovered and patched last week.
I would use a laptop fan stand to lower the thermals slightly. If that wouldn’t improve it, just remove the rear panel
It was not thermally constrained though
I actually had the same exact EVGA 1060 in my old build that I shared with my brother, definitely ran kinda hot
new studio looking dope!
Ooooh the nice room ^^!
And Dawid why didn't you use the super laptop cooling stand with the reactor fans ^^?
3:51 Why is the laptop using DX11 and the 1060 using DX12
Thats pretty good. I got a $600 laptop that was refurbished cuz i wanted a 2-in-1 it was a 2 year old lenovo with an i5 8th gen and 8gb of ram so the fact you can get a new gaming laptop for $100 more is insane.
I wanted to mention that I had just watched this video and walked into my nearest superstore and found an HP Pavilion much like this one, boasting the same specs, but when I went to the task manager, it read completely different specs and especially a much worse GPU for the exact same price! I took a short video but I’m unsure where to share it
Just share it here on TH-cam
