FAQ about Asus X756UX - [DDR4] RAM
How much RAM can I put in the Asus X756UX laptop?
Maximum is 16GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you can install two 8GB modules to reach the max capacity.
What type of memory does the X756UX use?
It uses DDR4 SODIMM modules - these are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get SODIMM, not regular DIMM.
What speed RAM should I buy for this laptop?
Get 2133MHz DDR4 modules (also labeled as PC4-17000). The system might accept faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2133MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Technically yes, like 4GB + 8GB, but it's better to use matching pairs (like 8GB + 8GB) for optimal dual-channel performance. Mismatched sizes can still work but might run slower.
Do I need to remove the existing RAM when upgrading?
Depends what's already installed. If it came with a single 8GB stick and you want 16GB total, just add another 8GB. If it has two 4GB sticks and you want more, you'll need to replace both.
