FAQ about Asus VivoBook X712FB RAM
How much RAM can I put in my VivoBook X712FB?
Maximum is 16GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's either 2x8GB sticks or one 16GB stick if you want to leave a slot open for later.
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR4 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop memory, not the full-size desktop stuff. Make sure it's DDR4, not DDR3 or DDR5.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz is what's recommended. You might see it listed as PC4-19200 - same thing, just different naming. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2400MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 8GB + 4GB = 12GB total. It'll work fine, though having matched pairs (like 8GB + 8GB) is slightly better for performance.
Do I need to buy RAM in pairs?
Nope, single sticks work fine. If your laptop came with 4GB or 8GB in one slot, you can just add another stick to the empty slot.
Will faster RAM like 2666MHz or 3200MHz work?
It'll work but will automatically slow down to 2400MHz to match what the laptop supports. No harm done, just won't get the extra speed you paid for.
