FAQ about Asus X756UXK RAM
What type of RAM does my Asus X756UXK use?
It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules. These are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you don't accidentally buy DDR4 or regular DIMM sticks - they won't fit.
How much RAM can I put in this laptop?
Maximum is 16GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 8GB per slot max. Can't go higher even if you find bigger modules - the motherboard won't recognize them.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) is what you want. You could technically use slower RAM like 1333MHz, but why bottleneck yourself? Faster RAM like 1866MHz will work but just run at 1600MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 4GB + 8GB if you want. It'll work fine, just won't run in dual-channel mode which gives a small performance boost. For best results, match the sizes - either 4GB+4GB or 8GB+8GB.
Do I need to remove the old RAM?
Depends what's already in there. If it came with 1x8GB and you want 16GB total, just add another 8GB stick. If it has 2x4GB and you want 16GB, you'll need to replace both with 8GB sticks.
