Does it improve performance i got this gg5 se when it came out on 144hz screen and my current ram is 8 if i upgrade it to 16 or even 32 do you think it will affect fps
@@lxmero4591 i’ve noticed an improvement so far on my end! I upgraded to 32g. I’m not an expert, so I can’t say what you should do, but it might be worth a try to upgrade your RAM if you can.
I have owned this laptop since October 25th of last year.. I installed 32gb of ram .. i have yet to use more than 14gb..so i highly recommend you only install 16gb ram.. save the extra money for a better SSD.
Do you still have them? If yes do you suggest me to buy it at the moment? I can't find any better laptop at this price. Tho i heard it has myriad of issues and questionable longevity.
@@Sphynx93rkn , look for something a bit better..dell rushed this one. but if its your only choice, then it can be worked with but it still can get a bit toasty.
Thank you so much for this video, I am so grateful to have found it because I just needed to know how to remove the base so I could dust my computer. I had been so perplexed by the top four screws not coming out until I saw this. 😊
All went well, did this yesterday to my Dell G5 Ryzen 9. Ram and 1tb NVME SSD, Thank You. Last week I covered the lid with some carbon fiber wrap on 2 sides ,leaving the logo center portion as is. Just wanted a little aesthetic.
at 0:30 , iirc the best possible configuration of ram for the most performance is 2933 mhz cl17 1.2v ram , the difference in the frequency is negated by lower timings with a net perf boost over 3200 kits, but its more expensive
Is there a way to upgrade this PC th handle more demanding games/ VR I've tried VR it's ruff some areas I use oculus quest 2, I upgraded ram to 32gb I believe was max I could go wanting more out of this PC, I thought maybe a EGPU but learning on the setup from what I understand to try and set up a EGPU after all price starting from scratch a desktop prob be more convenient, anyone have any info on topic please let me know
I just got this laptop dell G5 with RGB keyboard for 330 dollars from some one off local Facebook market place it’s in like new condition an works great ryzen 7 an rx5600 graphics card
I know this video is old but i need help!! Every time i load up the laptop it says memory change and suddenly i only have 4gb of ram jnstead of 8? Any help
did you manage to close the base cover completeley? did not seem like you did with upper part, which I also cannot close and would like to get some help
Have you tried this laptop with external monitor also? I wonder if the performance will change on cpu-heavy games. I think G5 users would like to see that also.
@@atharv7562 I recently got a 2k monitor and this already weird laptop is now even weirder. Unless the game you play uses gpu fully -which is not the case in almost none of the games, especially with this laptop and Smartshift- playing on 2k instead of 1k will have minimal performance decrease compared to other PCs. If you look at benchmarks, the lower cpu model of this laptop performs a little on SOTR, for example. I tried Ac Odyssey and the fps difference between 1k and 2k is in most cases less than 5fps. Witcher 3 plays around 70fps on 1080p and on 1440p with too little changes on settings I have steady 60fps. Ghost Reacon Breakpoint also plays 60 fps on high/very high settings 1440p. But Ac Valhalla plays much less worse on 2k because the game already utilizes full gpu on 1080p and needs too little cpu usage. For 1080p gaming difference between internal and external monitor, there is a slight improvement on performance and a little decrease on temperature (because I do not use laptop keyboard, I raised cooler stand a little higher and airflow is better now - so, this also decreases a little temperature also) This is my impression on G5 with external monitor so far. If I didn’t return this laptop with this horrible cooling system it’s because I hoped rx5600m could perform better in other conditions. Even though I am trying to understanding it with external monitor, until now it seems to be working better and gpu can utilize more of its potential. PS: Although the game temps are a little lower (this is especially because 1440p depends less on cpu), idle temperatures are higher because monitor enables gpu usage. Gpu at idle is around 60 degrees and cpu around 65 degrees.
thankyou this was very helpful since i needed to reseat my ram. i have 8gb and now when i got to task manager it shows that only 1 slot is being used and i have only 4gb, do you think this is a hardware issue or bad ram? I also ran a memory diagnostic test and the results showed there were no issues.
It was 2 x 4GB, which is good since you get dual channel from the factory, but less good in that it means you have to replace the factory fitted stuff if you want to upgrade as opposed to just adding to it.
Hi there, you should be able to just remove the cable that goes from the battery to the motherboard. I find it easier to disconnect the motherboard side than the battery side. Be careful though as the components may be fragile! I show how to disconnect the battery in my SSD upgrade video and my battery upgrade video if you're still unsure 🙂
I have 2 questions 1. I just got a new gaming laptop (Dell G15 5511) and I’m not sure how to downgrade to windows 10 because it came with windows 11 2. I’m thinking of upgrading the ram because it only has 8gb of ram, do I have to replace the base ram stick and add 2 new ram sticks or only buy 1 new ram stick and keep the base ram stick in.
Hello do you know how to fix the keyboard on dell g5 15 se, mine is not working at all but when troubleshooting it show properly working. can you help me please badly needed. Now I'm only using on screen keyboard
I doubt it, only if you're using more than 16GB of RAM while gaming, which is unlikely because very few games if any will use more than 16GB RAM. You will probably get a boost if your current memory is x16 density and your new models are x8 density, or if the latency is better on your new memory, but that's because the memory will be faster, not because there's more of it
I bought this laptop to get started on pc gaming I’ve been using it for a few months now and been playing call off duty Cold War. before I started it says I need more than 8gb of ram what do you suggest? (Game still runs but not as good)
You skipped a MAJOR step - you must disconnect the battery before doing anything inside the laptop. After disconnecting the battery you then need to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to drain any flea current in the system. You’re lucky you didn’t damage the motherboard.
Hey Anthony thanks for watching! I paid just shy of £600 for it so for the price it has absolutely blown me away in terms of performance, I am very impressed. Build quality is... Serviceable. I experienced a lot of BSODs initially but updating everything improved stability massively. I haven't experienced any temperature issues, though I don't have exact figures so I'll run some tests tomorrow
@@johntiles So I just ran a couple of tests, using synthetic stress tests the CPU reached 100C and the GPU reached 86C. Whilst gaming, the CPU also reached 100C and the GPU was only slightly cooler with a max temp of 84.5C. I do wonder whether a re-paste would make any difference

You can't add a HDD or 2.5" SSD, but there's space to add an NVME SSD in addition to the one that comes from factory. I plan to do an installation guide for this too soon, but I'm currently working on another video, so it will come after that. If you can't wait, you need to remove the base using the same method shown in this video, disconnect the battery, and you'll find a slot for the additional NVME SSD in the bottom left, right next to the existing one.
@@eburneentertainment9903 There's empty space beside ssd which is for 2.5" sized ssd or HDD but no connector. I don't know alot but I kinda saw this in Jarrod video
@@suhas1054 yeah I gather that this laptop uses the same chassis as some other models which can accommodate a 2.5" drive. I believe the 5500 can take one but you have to get a drive tray and a little ribbon cable that it doesn't come with. This laptop however, doesn't have the connection for it as you say. You should be able to get a larger battery that fills this space though, I'm going to see if I can find one and if I'll do, I'll do a video about the upgrade
Hi Kerry, thanks for watching. I'm using a "BASEQI Aluminum microSD Adapter for MacBook Pro Retina 13"" that I got off Amazon for my old MacBook Pro Retina, but it also happens to be a good fit for this laptop. In that I've got a SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDXC, but the G5 can't take advantage of the high speeds that this SD card is capable of, so I recommend just getting whichever offers the best price per GB and the capacity that you require
Yes, you will likely take a performance hit using slower memory as compared to the same amount of fast memory. If you're using less than your original 8GB of memory, 16GB of slower memory will be slower than the original, faster, 8GB
Hello. Thank you very much for the video. I followed the same steps but for some reason my laptop is able to detect only one of two 8GB RAM sticks. What's weird is that CPUz says 16GB RAM working in dual channel. Could you please help me resolve this issue, I've tried so many different things but nothing is working (both the RAM sticks are working btw, I tested by putting in one at a time)
Hey I just tried this with a g15 dell gaming laptop and it just won’t work. My screen won’t even come on now. Got the exact same model ram as you but it’s saying it incompatible with my computer through the battery light.
That's a different model of laptop, without knowing the exact model number of the laptop I couldn't really help too much, but if the Dell website doesn't list compatible modules then I'd have a look at the speed and voltage of your existing memory and get something the same as that but at the capacity that you want
The only RAM that I know for sure works is the RAM I use in this video, I did try another pair, but they wouldn't run at their rated speed of 3200MHz so I sold them and got these. If you use that slower RAM you'll be leaving performance on the table, so I'd recommend getting some 3200MHz modules anyway. Does it work if you put the original RAM back in? Have you tried unplugging the main and CMOS batteries to reset the BIOS? If it works when you put the old RAM back in and resting the BIOS doesn't make it work, my guess would be that the RAM isn't supported
I can only varify that the model of RAM that I used in this video work properly with this laptop, I did try some crucial modules too and they did work, but at a lower speed, so I sold them. You could order this model so that you know it's compatible
I am working on doing 1.8.0 comparison but life keeps getting in the way. Thought I'd get it finished tonight but then I had to work late 😪 I'll try to get it finished over the weekend, I'm also freeing up space to install Windows 11 and do a video on that
I bought some ram that I thought had all the specs. 2x8, 3200, 260 pin 1.2 v. And my pc would start (bios) and it said new memory detected. I ran all the diagnostics and it detected it and said it was all working fine. When I went to reboot, completely black screen. Never went to dell logo. I'm so confused. I returned the ram and am going to try this specific one he reccomends but I feel like the one I got should have worked I just didn't know how to set it up. I even reset the cmos, switched the places of the ram and nothing.
Strange, I installed some 3200MHz RAM in mine that ran at a higher voltage, and it just ran at 2400MHz instead. Which kit did you buy, out of curiousity?
@@eburneentertainment9903 it was just some random ram that I found from ebay. Im not even sure it had a brand name lol. But I figured since the specs were right, it should have worked. And I feel like it was working. Since when I ran the diags it was able to identify the ram without issue. But just wouldn't boot. Very odd. I'm assuming there was just something about it that wasn't the right spec. Hopefully.
XMP is proprietary to Intel, but if the laptop can support the rated speed of your RAM it should default to it. As I understand, this laptop only supports 1.2V DDR4, so if your modules are 1.35V you won't be able to run them at their rated speed
I would use a can of compressed air or something like a datavac to blow the dust away, making sure that you don't let the fans spin too much while you're blowing the dust away since this can damage the motor. It's probably a good idea to do this outside too.
Hey, buddy This will void your warranty as dell (in India) says that to upgrade anything in the warranty you need it to be done by them and the price is almost double as compared to amazon. I can't even repaste the thermal paste by myself let alone the choice of the paste so i have to use the one dell authrizes. Its horrible. Any solution?
For things like replacing the RAM I'd probably just keep my existing RAM and swap it back in if I ever needed to RMA the machine, I didn't see any warranty void if removed stickers, but it's possible that they can tell if it's been opened in software. I would be surprised if they voided your warranty for upgrading your own RAM as long as you didn't cause the issue that you're returning it for, that would be very anti consumer, but I can't say for sure that they definitely wouldn't do this. I guess it depends on how much risk you're comfortable with
I did want to swap the keyboard for an RGB one and do a video on that, I tried to contact Dell to get the part a few times but they kept ghosting me after the initial contact. Tl;dr, I don't know sorry
@@eburneentertainment9903 You do it from within the Alienware software suite that comes installed on the laptop. You can choose the pulse effect and different colors or rainbow
This is actually the AMD version, not the Intel version. In any case I'm not sure if the CPU is user upgradable, it could be soldered on which would make it practically impossible for anyone without the appropriate equipment
Bro I have the same laptop . I need to upgrade it to 16gb ram. Is that mean that I have to buy a 16gb ram ? I thought buying another 8gb ram will make 16gb.
You'd need to buy 2 sticks of 8 because both slots are already occupied by two of 4 from factory. This is actually the preferred method because it gives you dual channel, which gives you better performance
i have the same pc does this help with the performance on games such as cyberpunk etc. where this version stock meets minimum as said in the AMD software app the game has little yellow exclamation, saying AMD Radeon(TM)meets minimum graphics but green checkmark on the right, AMD RYZEN 7 etc...
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I answer your first question in this video: th-cam.com/video/_5m4sdT3nEU/w-d-xo.html :-) as for your second question, I wouldn't pay too much attention to that little yellow exclamation mark, I've seen it next to games that the laptop far exceeds the minimum and even recommended requirements.
@@eburneentertainment9903 thanks I've seen that video as well I started off with phones learning this kinda stuff pc seems to be a whole different monster, I have 8gb ram pre installed but I wanna go to I believe max on this pc is 32 what would be best performance and compatibility chips and locations, and little just knowledge question cuz I'm new to pc upgrading hdd is hard drive, ssd save state drive, ram is how ur phone/ memory handles performance that comes in a ssd chip? I keep hearing ram back to referring to ssd which throws me, on phones I know u have it processor that controls the performance like snapdragon then memory behind that pc im still learning the difference in the chips and function if ya could help me out I think I have general idea but u seem to know ur shi
@@Tsulley I suppose you could think of it like the CPU is where the computer 'thinks', the RAM is the 'short term memory' where data is stored that the CPU might need soon, the RAM is also cleared any time you restart your computer, and SSD/HDDs store programs and data long term and data remains even when power is removed. Data will be loaded from the HDD/SSD to the RAM when something that relies on it is called upon, say, you start a program, that program will be loaded in to RAM for example, then the CPU can quickly access the data it needs as and when it needs it. Not sure how well I've explained that but I hope it helps! I've got another video that shows how to upgrade the SSDs if you want to do that also, just make sure you order the thermal pads for them as well as the new SSD(s). You'll find a link to the thermal pads on Amazon in the SSD upgrade video description. You can also get them direct from Dell as I did, and they may be available elsewhere too.
@@eburneentertainment9903 thermal pads? I don't remb seeing them.in this video just the " modules chips" I'm guessing 1 is for the ram..because ur hdd would be long term or memory or does it have like to dedicated ram chips?
Hi! I was wondering if the laptop can have the maximum upgrade of 64GB of ram just to be sure. Since I searched how much this laptop's maximum ram can have some said 32 and 64 and I'm gettin confused lelz
Hey! I've just checked the 'setup guide' for this laptop (available here: dl.dell.com/topicspdf/g-series-15-5505-laptop_setup-guide_en-us.pdf) and it says that the maximum memory configuration is 32GB
You CAN put 64 gb in it but it will make VERY little difference in performance gaming wise, but there is on "productivity" application that gets a big boost, (can't Remeber what it was) look at Jarrod'sTech videos for the upgrade vid.
@@eburneentertainment9903yeah it worked with one I used a 32GB one, do you think adding another would work with it? I wasn’t too sure if that would be too much for it..
@@AlexTheHorrid it's difficult to say without trying it, iirc the documentation says the maximum is 32GB, but I've known devices in the past to work with more than the documentation says is the max in the past
@@eburneentertainment9903 got ya got ya, damn then should I take out the other 4Gb that’s in there? I left it there lol. I have noticed that when I play it feels like the GPU is working harder, whenever I look at the performance of the laptop while playing L4D it’ll be at 100% GPU a lot of the time, and I don’t think if it was like that before 🤔

I plan to do an installation guide for this too soon, but I'm currently working on another video, so it will come after that. If you can't wait, you need to remove the base using the same method shown in this video, disconnect the battery, and you'll find a slot for the additional NVME SSD in the bottom left, right next to the existing one.

Thnx
I'm disappointed to hear that 😔 so,l have to buy an external 4Tb hdd to have a big storage space
@@eburneentertainment9903 There's empty space beside ssd which is for 2.5" sized ssd or HDD but no connector. I don't know alot but I kinda saw this in Jarrod video
Beside the battery
@@suhas1054 yeah I gather that this laptop uses the same chassis as some other models which can accommodate a 2.5" drive. I believe the 5500 can take one but you have to get a drive tray and a little ribbon cable that it doesn't come with. This laptop however, doesn't have the connection for it as you say. You should be able to get a larger battery that fills this space though, I'm going to see if I can find one and if I'll do, I'll do a video about the upgrade
I have a problem. I put 2x8 sticks of ram at 3000mz but it's only showing 2600 in task manager
What voltage are the modules rated at? They need to be 1.2V, my first guess would be that yours are 1.35V
What SD Card are you using by chance? I cant find one that fits as slim as yours seems to.
Hi Kerry, thanks for watching. I'm using a "BASEQI Aluminum microSD Adapter for MacBook Pro Retina 13"" that I got off Amazon for my old MacBook Pro Retina, but it also happens to be a good fit for this laptop. In that I've got a SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDXC, but the G5 can't take advantage of the high speeds that this SD card is capable of, so I recommend just getting whichever offers the best price per GB and the capacity that you require
@@eburneentertainment9903 is that the baseqi 303a, 350a or any other, because I want to get the right one, ty in advance
@@user-vh9lb3jm5s It's the 303A that I've got
So I bought the 2666mhz will that slow mine down because it all they had in stock 2 sticks of 8
Yes, you will likely take a performance hit using slower memory as compared to the same amount of fast memory. If you're using less than your original 8GB of memory, 16GB of slower memory will be slower than the original, faster, 8GB
Ok well hopefully wont be to bad just needing more than it being faster
Hello. Thank you very much for the video. I followed the same steps but for some reason my laptop is able to detect only one of two 8GB RAM sticks. What's weird is that CPUz says 16GB RAM working in dual channel. Could you please help me resolve this issue, I've tried so many different things but nothing is working (both the RAM sticks are working btw, I tested by putting in one at a time)
Hi, its because you did not install the ram (second stick properly) even if it fits and clicks its still not it
I have the same laptop, is it okay to add 16GB ram to my 4GB ram? TYIA
Yeah that should work, as long as the module is otherwise compatible
@@eburneentertainment9903 thank you very much, have a great dayy!!
Hey I just tried this with a g15 dell gaming laptop and it just won’t work. My screen won’t even come on now. Got the exact same model ram as you but it’s saying it incompatible with my computer through the battery light.
That's a different model of laptop, without knowing the exact model number of the laptop I couldn't really help too much, but if the Dell website doesn't list compatible modules then I'd have a look at the speed and voltage of your existing memory and get something the same as that but at the capacity that you want
Does the second m.2 slot have a screw already in the hole to be installed or do I need to get one to install a second ssd?
Mine didn't have one, Dell sent one with the heat pads that I ordered though
I thought most dell laptops are limited to 2666mhz,
i am about to buy this Ram"Kingston FURY Impact 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz DDR4 CL20 Laptop Memory Kit of 2 KF432S20IBK2/32, Black" what is ur advise
How did it go? I am about to buy the same.
@@hikka-ru I haven't
Hi i have a dell g5 5590 8gb ram and I just bought Kingston hyperx impact 2x8gb 2666hz. It wont boot.updated the bios already. Am i missing something?
The only RAM that I know for sure works is the RAM I use in this video, I did try another pair, but they wouldn't run at their rated speed of 3200MHz so I sold them and got these. If you use that slower RAM you'll be leaving performance on the table, so I'd recommend getting some 3200MHz modules anyway.
Does it work if you put the original RAM back in? Have you tried unplugging the main and CMOS batteries to reset the BIOS?
If it works when you put the old RAM back in and resting the BIOS doesn't make it work, my guess would be that the RAM isn't supported
I tried upgrading mine and it won't even read any of the ram and I put in DDR4 8gb chips in it help me please
I can only varify that the model of RAM that I used in this video work properly with this laptop, I did try some crucial modules too and they did work, but at a lower speed, so I sold them. You could order this model so that you know it's compatible
Hello buddy, but KF432S20IBK2/32 modules are the same as HX432S20IBK2/32 modules?
Hey buddy. I just bought a pair of the one you asked. KF432S20IB/8. You are using it ? Any problems or differences you think?
Have you stopped making videos??
I am working on doing 1.8.0 comparison but life keeps getting in the way. Thought I'd get it finished tonight but then I had to work late 😪 I'll try to get it finished over the weekend, I'm also freeing up space to install Windows 11 and do a video on that
@@eburneentertainment9903 cool. Great news. There’s a 1.9 now I think. Do you have Patron or I can gift via PayPal
I bought some ram that I thought had all the specs. 2x8, 3200, 260 pin 1.2 v. And my pc would start (bios) and it said new memory detected. I ran all the diagnostics and it detected it and said it was all working fine. When I went to reboot, completely black screen. Never went to dell logo. I'm so confused. I returned the ram and am going to try this specific one he reccomends but I feel like the one I got should have worked I just didn't know how to set it up. I even reset the cmos, switched the places of the ram and nothing.
Strange, I installed some 3200MHz RAM in mine that ran at a higher voltage, and it just ran at 2400MHz instead. Which kit did you buy, out of curiousity?
@@eburneentertainment9903 it was just some random ram that I found from ebay. Im not even sure it had a brand name lol. But I figured since the specs were right, it should have worked. And I feel like it was working. Since when I ran the diags it was able to identify the ram without issue. But just wouldn't boot. Very odd. I'm assuming there was just something about it that wasn't the right spec. Hopefully.
How to anable XMP? My memory has this option.
XMP is proprietary to Intel, but if the laptop can support the rated speed of your RAM it should default to it. As I understand, this laptop only supports 1.2V DDR4, so if your modules are 1.35V you won't be able to run them at their rated speed
@@eburneentertainment9903 thanks!
I love your videos and I support you but like can you remove it from my recommended, I watch it already and it won't leave me alone
Haha I don't think I control that do I? I'd guess that's TH-cam's algorithm!
what if I wish to clean the fans? My laptop is very noisy, and I am convinced that it must be the fans that are with dust.
I would use a can of compressed air or something like a datavac to blow the dust away, making sure that you don't let the fans spin too much while you're blowing the dust away since this can damage the motor. It's probably a good idea to do this outside too.
@@eburneentertainment9903 thanks mate
Hey, buddy
This will void your warranty as dell (in India) says that to upgrade anything in the warranty you need it to be done by them and the price is almost double as compared to amazon.
I can't even repaste the thermal paste by myself let alone the choice of the paste so i have to use the one dell authrizes.
Its horrible.
Any solution?
For things like replacing the RAM I'd probably just keep my existing RAM and swap it back in if I ever needed to RMA the machine, I didn't see any warranty void if removed stickers, but it's possible that they can tell if it's been opened in software. I would be surprised if they voided your warranty for upgrading your own RAM as long as you didn't cause the issue that you're returning it for, that would be very anti consumer, but I can't say for sure that they definitely wouldn't do this. I guess it depends on how much risk you're comfortable with
Will it work if I put 16 gb ram in one slot and 4 gb ram on the other?
yes but it will not opperate in dual channel mode, leaving serious performance in the table
I only can use a 3200 mhz ram or i can use other? (Sorry for my bad english?
Others might work but will probably run at a lower speed, so I wouldn't recommend it
how did you change the keyboard color?
I did want to swap the keyboard for an RGB one and do a video on that, I tried to contact Dell to get the part a few times but they kept ghosting me after the initial contact. Tl;dr, I don't know sorry
@@eburneentertainment9903 You do it from within the Alienware software suite that comes installed on the laptop. You can choose the pulse effect and different colors or rainbow
Can u upgrade the i7 to the i9 I have same pc
This is actually the AMD version, not the Intel version. In any case I'm not sure if the CPU is user upgradable, it could be soldered on which would make it practically impossible for anyone without the appropriate equipment
@@eburneentertainment9903 I meant AMD I'm just learning difference the 4000 series upgrad and I see what ur saying
can we upgrade processor from ryzen 5 to 7
No
Bro I have the same laptop . I need to upgrade it to 16gb ram. Is that mean that I have to buy a 16gb ram ?
I thought buying another 8gb ram will make 16gb.
You'd need to buy 2 sticks of 8 because both slots are already occupied by two of 4 from factory. This is actually the preferred method because it gives you dual channel, which gives you better performance
@@eburneentertainment9903 thanks
i have the same pc does this help with the performance on games such as cyberpunk etc. where this version stock meets minimum as said in the AMD software app the game has little yellow exclamation, saying AMD Radeon(TM)meets minimum graphics but green checkmark on the right, AMD RYZEN 7 etc...
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I answer your first question in this video: th-cam.com/video/_5m4sdT3nEU/w-d-xo.html :-) as for your second question, I wouldn't pay too much attention to that little yellow exclamation mark, I've seen it next to games that the laptop far exceeds the minimum and even recommended requirements.
@@eburneentertainment9903 thanks I've seen that video as well I started off with phones learning this kinda stuff pc seems to be a whole different monster, I have 8gb ram pre installed but I wanna go to I believe max on this pc is 32 what would be best performance and compatibility chips and locations, and little just knowledge question cuz I'm new to pc upgrading hdd is hard drive, ssd save state drive, ram is how ur phone/ memory handles performance that comes in a ssd chip? I keep hearing ram back to referring to ssd which throws me, on phones I know u have it processor that controls the performance like snapdragon then memory behind that pc im still learning the difference in the chips and function if ya could help me out I think I have general idea but u seem to know ur shi
I have 8gb in ram I'm pretty sure I should upgrade to 32 gb I have the rgb laptop same version as u i believe
@@Tsulley I suppose you could think of it like the CPU is where the computer 'thinks', the RAM is the 'short term memory' where data is stored that the CPU might need soon, the RAM is also cleared any time you restart your computer, and SSD/HDDs store programs and data long term and data remains even when power is removed. Data will be loaded from the HDD/SSD to the RAM when something that relies on it is called upon, say, you start a program, that program will be loaded in to RAM for example, then the CPU can quickly access the data it needs as and when it needs it. Not sure how well I've explained that but I hope it helps! I've got another video that shows how to upgrade the SSDs if you want to do that also, just make sure you order the thermal pads for them as well as the new SSD(s). You'll find a link to the thermal pads on Amazon in the SSD upgrade video description. You can also get them direct from Dell as I did, and they may be available elsewhere too.
@@eburneentertainment9903 thermal pads? I don't remb seeing them.in this video just the " modules chips" I'm guessing 1 is for the ram..because ur hdd would be long term or memory or does it have like to dedicated ram chips?
Hi! I was wondering if the laptop can have the maximum upgrade of 64GB of ram just to be sure. Since I searched how much this laptop's maximum ram can have some said 32 and 64 and I'm gettin confused lelz
Hey! I've just checked the 'setup guide' for this laptop (available here: dl.dell.com/topicspdf/g-series-15-5505-laptop_setup-guide_en-us.pdf) and it says that the maximum memory configuration is 32GB
You CAN put 64 gb in it but it will make VERY little difference in performance gaming wise, but there is on "productivity" application that gets a big boost, (can't Remeber what it was) look at Jarrod'sTech videos for the upgrade vid.
Where did u buy it?
Hey, thanks for watching! I bought the laptop from Dell, and the RAM off eBay, though you may be able to find both through other vendors
You need 2 models?! I only got 1….
One will probably work, but two modules will be faster because they can run in dual channel. This will have a real world impact on performance
@@eburneentertainment9903yeah it worked with one I used a 32GB one, do you think adding another would work with it? I wasn’t too sure if that would be too much for it..
@@AlexTheHorrid it's difficult to say without trying it, iirc the documentation says the maximum is 32GB, but I've known devices in the past to work with more than the documentation says is the max in the past
@@eburneentertainment9903 got ya got ya, damn then should I take out the other 4Gb that’s in there? I left it there lol. I have noticed that when I play it feels like the GPU is working harder, whenever I look at the performance of the laptop while playing L4D it’ll be at 100% GPU a lot of the time, and I don’t think if it was like that before 🤔
