If you’re looking to upgrade the memory in your notebook, here’s a simple guide to help you determine what your device can handle. Based on the info you provided, your notebook has an i7-6700HQ processor. According to the official service manual, this model supports a maximum of 2 slots for RAM, each capable of holding up to 8 GB. That means it’s officially rated for up to 16 GB of total memory.
However, it’s possible to go beyond that. Notebooks with this processor might support up to 2 x 16 GB of DDR4 RAM modules, including options like DDR4-2133 CL15, DDR4-2400 CL17, DDR4-2666 CL19, or DDR4-3200 CL22. Keep in mind, though, that even if your system can physically accept these higher-capacity modules, the faster memory speeds (like DDR4-2400 or DDR4-3200) will be limited to a maximum of 2133 MHz.
To be sure your notebook can support 2 x 16 GB modules, you should run a quick command to check compatibility. Once you’ve verified it, you can proceed with purchasing the RAM modules that fit your needs.
This way, you can confidently upgrade your notebook’s memory without any trouble, knowing it supports the capacity you want.
