FAQ about Asus X450CC RAM
How many RAM slots does my laptop have?
Two slots total, but only one is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be changed.
What's the maximum RAM I can have?
12GB total - that's 4GB soldered on the motherboard plus up to 8GB in the upgradeable slot.
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
DDR3 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop RAM.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz, also labeled as PC3-12800. The system might work with other speeds but 1600MHz is what's recommended.
Can I install 16GB total?
No, even if you put a 16GB stick in the free slot, the system only supports 12GB maximum. So 8GB is the biggest module that'll work.
Will faster RAM like 1866MHz work?
It might physically work but will run at 1600MHz anyway. Save money and just get 1600MHz.
Do I need to match the existing 4GB module?
No need to match since you can't access that soldered 4GB anyway. Just add whatever size you want up to 8GB.
