FAQ about Lenovo Legion Y720-15IKB RAM
How much RAM can I put in the Legion Y720-15IKB?
You can install up to 32GB total - that's 16GB per slot since it has 2 memory slots.
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop RAM.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz is the recommended speed. It's also labeled as PC4-19200 sometimes - same thing.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah you can, like 8GB + 16GB, but matching sizes usually gives better performance. The system will run in single channel mode with mismatched sizes.
Do I need to remove the old RAM?
Depends what's already in there. If both slots are full, you'll need to remove at least one stick to upgrade. If you've got one empty slot, just add to it.

It'll work but will downclock to 2400MHz anyway, so save your money and just get 2400MHz.
