FAQ about Acer Swift SF315-52G RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Acer SF315-52G?
Maximum is 16GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's 8GB per slot if you want to max it out.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR4, not DDR3 or DDR5.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz is the recommended speed. It's also called PC4-19200 if you see that on the packaging instead. The laptop might work with faster RAM but it'll just run at 2400MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 4GB + 8GB if you want 12GB total. Just know that mixing sizes means you won't get dual-channel performance on the full amount - only on the matched portion.
Do I need to replace both sticks or can I just add one?
Depends what's already in there. If you've got one slot empty, just add another stick. If both slots are full with smaller modules, you'll need to replace at least one to upgrade.
Will faster RAM like 2666MHz or 3200MHz work?
It'll probably work but will downclock to 2400MHz automatically. No point spending extra on faster speeds since the laptop won't use them.
