FAQ about Asus UX510UX RAM
How many RAM slots does the UX510UX have and can I access both?
It has 2 slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed.
What's the maximum RAM I can have in this laptop?
16GB total - but since one slot is fixed, you can only add up to 8GB in the accessible slot to reach that maximum.
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-sized RAM, not the full-size desktop sticks.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz is the recommended speed, also labeled as PC4-19200. Getting faster RAM won't hurt but won't give you any benefit either.
Can I just add another 8GB stick if my laptop came with 8GB?
Depends on the original configuration. If it came with 8GB soldered, then yes. If it has 4GB soldered + 4GB in the slot, you'd need to replace the 4GB stick with an 8GB one.
Will any DDR4 SODIMM work or are there other specs to check?
As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM at 2400MHz or compatible, you should be good. Just avoid DDR3 or DDR5 - they physically won't fit and could damage the slot if forced.
