FAQ about Asus X571GT RAM
How many RAM slots does the X571GT have?
It has 2 total slots, 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 - that's 8GB in the upgradeable slot plus whatever came soldered in the other slot (usually 8GB).
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones.
What speed RAM should I get?
3200MHz (also labeled as PC4-25600) is the recommended speed for best performance.
Can I use faster RAM than 3200MHz?
Yes, faster RAM will work but it'll just run at 3200MHz anyway, so you'd be wasting money on the extra speed.
Will slower RAM work if I can't find 3200MHz?
Yeah, 2666MHz or 2400MHz DDR4 will work fine, just won't be quite as fast. The system will match the speed of the slowest module.
Do I need to match the exact specs of the soldered RAM?
Not exactly, but staying close helps. Same speed is ideal, and most laptops work best with matching capacities (like 8GB + 8GB rather than 4GB + 8GB).
