FAQ about Asus X570UD RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Asus X570UD laptop?
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 max it out.
What type of RAM does the X570UD use?
It takes DDR4 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop memory, not the full-size desktop sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM or it won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get for the X570UD?
2400MHz is what's recommended. You might see it listed as PC4-19200 - same thing. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2400MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the X570UD?
Yeah, you can do like 8GB + 4GB if you want. Just know that mixing sizes means you won't get dual-channel performance on the full amount - only on the matched portion.
Is it better to use one 16GB stick or two 8GB sticks?
Two 8GB sticks will give you dual-channel memory which performs better. Single stick is easier to upgrade later though if you're starting with less RAM.
Will 3200MHz RAM work in the X570UD?
It'll work but will automatically downclock to 2400MHz. No point paying extra for faster speeds since the laptop won't use them.
