Exactly the video I was looking for. You're doing God's work. I just bought the 4090 version and saw the 48 gb module and wondered would it work. Keep up the good work sir
hi @jonaharagon Trying to understand through the comments.. is the conclusión that overall adding the 48 is always slower than simply adding 16?.. or does it performs as fast.. until it overpassing the initial 32 gb? (hope I explaned myself). and thank you for sharing your conclusions!.
Just did this exact thing on my Legion Slim 7 (AMD 7/4060) only difference was i went for 24gb to total 40gb. Works great forme. As i understand, in that config (same here) anything past 32gb would be single chan....hmmm just watched your test of the 3 diff quantitys..maybe ill get a 16gb instead.
I ended up trying this with the Ryzen 7 7735HS version of this laptop, upgrading to 64GB 4800Mhz, and since then the display has had issues with white flickering and other issues. Beware! It seems to be especially triggered by video playback such as TH-cam. So far I've tried disconnecting the battery and holding the power button to reset CMOS, and I figure I'll try it again while also reseating the RAM. Will report back with progress for anyone else watching this video wondering whether it would work with the Ryzen 7 model. Would also gladly accept tips from anyone who has had similar issues or has any theories about what might be the issue!
need an update if it worked for you? i also had Ryzen 7 7735HS version and want to upgrade my RAM 16GB to higher capacity, if it really work for you or any had issue upgrading. thanks!
@@fersaudya.alibbun218 Just reseated, I'll keep you posted, will have to do a day or two of use to test if any issues occur. But most people have no issue with upgrading to 32gb or 48gb, so that should definitely be fine!
i have the ryzen 9 version with 6700s .... i thjink its a 22 model but however they say the max the board can take is 24gb.......... im scared to mess with it ne one else have this version and did upgrades?
This is good to know. I'm about to pull the trigger on a G14 and RAM is a deal for me. (I work with numerical models and GIS mapping.) Thanks for the work and the post.
No. in this laptop(g14 2020 - 2023) only 1 sided SSD can securely fit. For example 4TB SSD with no dram is Lexar 790. With dram is Samsung 990 pro. U can add thin plate or sticker heatsink on top of the chips. Or reuse the heatsink sticker on the OEM SSD. Other heatsink is just to thick.
I know this comment is 3 months old, but to answer your question, if you have 2 modules of ram with different speeds, the faster ram will run at the speed of the slower one.
Just did the 64 upgrade and it worked perfectly. Do i have to do a data transfer to upgrade the SSD to a 2TB, i have a WD sn850.. i want to install now
9 months later, how was the long term stability? I was thinking about doing this, but the idea of having dissimilar memory concerns me from a stability and performance standpoint, e.g. 16gb stick (soldered) plus a 48gb stick (sodimm) .... if you didn't have any issues, i might consider it, otherwise I'll stick to a 16gb sodimm upgrade
No issues! I haven’t noticed performance problems either, but I don’t play like competitive FPS games or anything so YMMV. It’s faster than the stock config but slower than if you pair it with a 16GB stick in my testing.
I've heard that doing this hurts performance since the max it supports is 32, which is why most people go for 40gb, how has 64GB affected yours? Have you not done a comparison?
40? It comes with 16 built-in, not 8. It’d hurt performance installing anything other than a 16 GB stick. I don’t see why adding a 32 (for a total of 48) would be worse than adding a 48 (for a total of 64), but both would be worse than adding a 16, and both would be better than not adding any RAM at all :) I benchmarked a few different configurations in a Short on my channel.
@@jonaharagon Thanks for sharing! I don't have the G14 but I have my eyes set on one, so I wanted to know which RAM it was. 1. How did you knew this one fits? By reading the specs? (cause this demands deeper knowledge of hardware, so if no one tested it before, I personally wouldn't know] 2. I'm still waiting to see maybe what the next revision (2024?) of the G14 would be and if they will fix other problems in this line (I already like that they switched back to Nvidia, yet, I think prices for the 4000 series made this laptop jump from a 1000$ computer to a 2000$ one. Lemme know if it's correct. I still barely see supply of it 3. Next models might not accept this "Crucial" 48 RAM stick, though...So I guess it's a possibility it might only work for this 2023 line. 4. Lastly, I never thought coding would be demanding on system specs. I'd be glad to see how this performs with After Effects + Davinci. You certainly broke a barrier here of perception, for having to accept 32GB Max of RAM on the go. Having the option for 64 just gives oxygen. Knowing you can have space to work with.

Great video! Im trying to figure out if this would work for my i9-12900H 2022 Zephyrus M16 (16GB DDR5 4800MHz soldered, 1 open slot). Max supported memory for the i9-12 is 64GB, allegedley. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not this might work?
Do you know if this memory will work on the MSI Stealth 17 Studio A13V which comes with 64 gb ddr5 5600 in 2 slots ? (32gbx2) Also i noticed you did not disconnect the battery before adding the new RAM ? Is this because the battery was at 0 charge ? I am thinking to drain my battery rather than disconnect it as its too much hassle pulling the cable and routing it out of its position once I open the laptop... but maybe just draining the battery to 0 is a better idea ?
As a general rule, on any well built laptop, the battery should not be an issue. It is always a question of what you feel safe with, of course. But, so long as you correctly shut the system down - no fast boot or anything - the board should be powered down on most all of the power planes, including the one for the ram.
Can you please mention the exact aub-model number of your G14? I wanna aim at that to make sure I don't get another sub-model where the 48GB ram won't work...
Thanks for sharing! I always thought you must have the exact same maker+model of the soldered RAM so I never knew how you'd know which model of Ram to buy for the extension slot. 1. Are there any cons to using a huge capacity Ram stick? Like takes more battery life? Or lack of dual channel? 2. Any serious drawbacks to the G14? I hear the jet sound from the fans is horrible...
All DDR5 is dual-channel, because it moved the memory controller from the motherboard to the RAM module (which is part of what enabled non-binary memory capacities to be available with DDR5), and there are two channels on each RAM module. I do think that certain DDR5 configurations can use *quad* channel with two identical RAM modules, but I don't think this laptop or even most motherboards actually support that so YMMV. TL;DR: Shouldn't have a negative impact on this laptop. So far there's not much I can complain about with this laptop, it's handled everything I've thrown at it so far, and I haven't really noticed any major fan noise to complain about. I will say the keyboard backlighting is *terrible* quality.
@@eladbari 16+16 GB is 50-70% faster, the rest is only 1 RAM stick working, not 2 in parallel. Only for laptops that have only 1 upgradable RAM slot and the soldered is small / smaller like 16GB.

The 2020 model uses DDR4 RAM instead of DDR5, so the RAM I used wouldn’t physically fit. DDR4 comes in capacities of up to 32GB, so you could get something like this: a.co/d/5JMde4D
My screen goes out every time I put it in when I take it out works just fine. Every time I install it I’ll turn off the screen and won’t come on. I’ve read in many places that this is common.
