Am I thinking the right way in trying to match the RAM frequency with the motherboard and CPU?

Question

motherboards

Good afternoon,

In fact, there are two questions, but the main one placed in the table of contents.

According to AIDA64 (section Motherboard -> Chipset), the types of RAM supported by my laptop configuration, quote, are "DDR4-1333, DDR4-1600, DDR4-1866, DDR4-2133, DDR4-2400 SDRAM". Processor - Pentium 4417U 2.30 GHz. So the fastest memory compatible with my processor is DDR4-2133, right?

The second question concerns the maximum supported RAM. According to one section of the aida (mentioned above), it is 32 GB, according to another (Computer -> DMI -> Memory Arrays -> System Memory), 64 GB. On the website of the store where I bought the laptop, 16 GB. To check on the manufacturer's website, I can't find my model corny. Realizing that this value itself can be in some way conditional, I would like to ask how, knowing the configuration of the computer, find out the optimal top of the amount of RAM? By the way, according to the store, the RAM slot on the laptop is 1. And AIDA, CPU-Z and Task Manager say four.

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

So the fastest memory compatible with my processor is DDR4-2133, right?

According to the Intel documentation (see here ), the maximum memory frequency officially supported is 2133. This memory is guaranteed to start. Anything above but within the characteristics of the motherboard will most likely start, but technically this is considered overclocking, so there is a small percentage of what will not start.

To check on the manufacturer's website, I can't find my model corny. Realizing that this value itself can be in some way conditional, I would like to ask how, knowing the configuration of the computer, to find out the optimal top of the amount of RAM?

There are different cases here, officially the processor supports up to 32GB of RAM, but some laptop manufacturers, for example, may limit it to a smaller amount (I have such a situation). Here it is necessary to look at laptop specifications.
Subjective estimates of the required memory are approximately as follows: 8GB is already a butt, personally I would set at least 16 for comfort.
In general, a laptop model would translate the conversation from abstract to concrete.

Answer 2

I also took myself a used laptop, asus x751l, 12 gig oz, ay7, 3 generations. Question, someone tested the computer for performance using the following benchmarks:

• Prime95
  
• WEB 3.0
  
• BASEMARK
  
• Geekbench 4

I found them in this topic, and I'm not sure yet whether it's worth running such software on old hardware. When buying, I connected the GPU and ZPU, AIDA and 3dmark, that's all. It seems like the laptop withstood 3-5 minutes of stress tests calmly, but to fix it I thought to test it again with some other utility.
