Lenovo LOQ 15 - RAM Upgrade Guide (8GB to 16GB) 

Had to leave a comment to thank you for the vid. Got my LOQ a week ago and wanted to add some ram. 1st time doing something like this and managed to get it on the first try. Keep up the good work brother!

Very nice video! I love how intelligent our host is, and how he explains everything he's doing in such easy-to-understand terms.

Thanks for the directions. Followed this to the T with no issues.

Excellent video! I build, rebuild, and upgrade my desk top almost annually. This is the first time I attempted it with a laptop. You gave me the confidence that I needed. Thank you! You have a new subscriber. On a side note, one of the thermal pads was well stuck to the RAM card. If this happens to anyone, DO NOT just rip it off in frustration. Just tease it up and you won't have to replace it. Also, don't try to remove the deco panel without removing all the screws. The 2 screws closest to the deco panel go through the retaining tabs in the panel.

Very nice video man :) I got a 16 gb and I'm gonna install it by using your video thanks!

Hi all! Today I installed 2х16Gb DDR5 5600MHz ADATA SO-DIMM (AD5S560016G-S) memory in this laptop and everything started up perfectly. I advise!

Please make a video on adding extra SSD on the second slot

Thank you! These instructions were super helpful for a beginner gamers mom. My 13 y/o saved up and we helped him purchase his first budget gaming laptop and upgraded the RAM ourselves!

Hey! Appreciate this vid, the version of this is with the 4050 is on an amazing sale right now so I’ll be picking this up. The only thing that worried me was that ram. I’ll be trying this soon! Hopefully I don’t mess anything up because this is gonna be my first time opening up any computer, wish me luck and thanks for the concise tutorial! ❤

Thanks man, gonna buy this laptop tomorrow and have my husband upgrade it to me!

Thank you. I was going to take it to the computer repair shop, but now I'M DOING IT MYSELF!!!!!!

wish me luck im you guys im about to do my first laptop upgrade this video has been massively helpful and informative

Cant wait for updated bencharks and thermals! Can you test it with a cooling pad too?

Thanks for the video, but I have a question. Can we upgrade the ssd by adding a 2tb m2.nvme to the other slot? As on lenovos website it says, you can add only 512gb or 1 tb to the other slot considering (Lenovo store options)?? And does it void warranty to do so by the user himself? Thank you

I upgraded mine with a crucial ddr5 5600 8gb. It runs much better. Glad I got the ryzen and 4050 model. The 4060 is not worth the extra money and the Intel is less energy efficient from what I've seen. This laptop is well worth the money imo.

I know this was an easy installation, but thank you for the help for us technologically inept.

thank you so much ! just what i was looking for.

was able to install 32 gb of ram with this guide, ty!

How did you get to the hardware info screen at 5:26? I bought a single 8gb ram to add to the lap in order to make 16gb dual channel, so I'm wondering if Im having the same issue you had. Ty for the video 👍

Thank you from Argentina, Your Video help me

Hi there, thank you for this video. I am currently planning on adding a ram to my Lenovo LOQ. attached below is the model and specs of my LOQ. Do you have any recommendations of what brand of additional 8gb ram to buy? LOQ 15IRH8 82XV00P6PH 15.6" FHD 144Hz i5-12450H | RTX 2050 | 8GB DDR5-4800 | 512GB SSD

Thank you for this video. I just got this ones big brother, the one that comes stock with 16gb. Looking to take it to 32gb. I have a clear guide of how to get inside now. One question, did you disconnect the battery from the board at all(IE unplugging the power cable from the motherboard)? I didn't see it in your video, though you did cut the video up I can see. When I upgraded my old HP laptop that was something the guy did before tampering with the RAM. Is that something that should be done here?

NIce video, ! Do you know whats the max RAM that lenovo LOQ support?

DDR5 is already dual channel. I've just upgraded to 32Gb DDR5-5600 and worked as a charm

Thanks for the video! I’ve been looking for a while for a good 8gb of ram for my LOQ 15 since the part on the lenovo website is $70 US. The ram you used is only $28 US. And just to confirm, the ram would work with all models of the LOQ 15?

very nice vi. tried to open without luck , oc i did not want to ruin my new laptop så dropped it. I missed the blue plastic thing , but i know how to get them så thx buddy !

I watched 3 times good video!

Thanks for the info.

What should I do if one of the very first tiny screws got stripped but are still in the laptop

at 3:56 you pause the video to figure out how to open the ram cover. Don't you think we would also like to know how to open it?? For anyone watching, there is no clip you just lift it up and off, theres little nubs that might be friction to hold the cover in place but thats it. Whats the purpose of this cover?

Hola! Tu video me ha servido de mucho, like y nuevo subscriptor, la memoria ram que tiene de fabrica es de 5600 MHz? Yo tengo la Loq 15 con 3050 y core I5 12 generación. Y me serviria esta? Memoria Ram DDR5 8gb 5600 Mhz Beast Kingston Fury Rgb

Does anyone knows why when i put the Crucial DDR5 5600 mhz on secondary slot with the OEM Samsung DDR5 5600 Mhz it does boot with 24gb on ram but it wont work with both Crucial sticks for up to 32gb?

i have a question, can you add 2 DDR5 ram's with 6400 Mhz and 16 GB?

Hi, I just bought LOQ 15 2023 (I think it is 2023). The specs are: i7 13650HX, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM and 512GB SSD. Have you done any upgrades on that particular LOQ model? If so, I would be very interested to watch it. Thanks

Hi! This is an amazing video, I have an LOQ 23 model and it will help me upgrade however I just wanted to know one more thing, I noticed that your memory is consuming 39% of ram and it's the same for me it uses almost 6 GB of ram when kept on ideal why is that so? I tried to reduce it but nothing helped, is there a way around or this how windows 11 works? Please help

I purchased this bad boy for $830 CAD refurbished from a reseller on Best Buy's website. I got extremely lucky as the laptop was deemed to be in "fair" condition. The laptop looks completely brand new. I read another comment on your full review of this laptop. They claim you cannot replace the supplied 8GB stick of Ram? You even state yourself in this video you switched out the supplied 8GB stick of Ram for another set of matching sticks. Can you attest to this at all?

Hi, I bought a crucial 8gb ddr5 5200mhz, is that compatible with sk hynix 5600mhz? Would that cause problem in my laptop if I install it?

Rams are running at 5200mhz even though they are 5600mhz right? Cuz documenation said so I guess

can anyone say if this laptop support dual rank ram or only single rank?

I was thinking of buying the CORSAIR - VENGEANCE 32GB (1PK 32GB) 4800MHz DDR5 C40 SODIMM, do you think it will work? I’m just gonna take out the 8 Gb one and put in the 32 Gb one.

Hi, does it matter if the ram inside the laptop (8)Gb from a different company than the one i will be adding (8) GB also, knowing that both of them are DDR5-4800?

Can I buy RAM with the same specifications but from a different brand?

can you do a tutorial on upgrading the ssd next please?

I brought the i7 14gen with 4060 with a single 16gb ram ddr5 5600mhz stick.. confused with 5600mhz CL46 or 5200mhz CL42 or 4800mhz CL40.. please advise.. also did you unlug the power cable from the battery to the motherboard before installing the ram stick?

Mine is with 8GB x 2, If I upgrade one of those to 8GB with 16 GB (altogether 24GB ) would it reduce performance ?

Great video! I have almost the same lenovo (Mine is Intel core I5-13420H and RTX 4050) it came with a single Samsung DDR5 5200Mhz 8Gb, Since i cant find the same exact memory ram i decided to buy one a littlebit slower (4800Mhz, but from Samsung 8Gb and almost the same model) and then run a test to see if it works fine.

Thanks dude

I am planning to buy the Lenovo loq series i5 12th gen with 16 GB of RAM. Can I upgrade it to 32 GB or it has a maximum limit of 16 only?

one more question for the ram can you mix and match? I just want to confirm since it seems like at the end of your video it should be fine

My LOQ has 8gb ram. Can i remove it and put 2x16GB ram a total of 32GB? Or max ram for it is up to 16GB only?

Do you have to worry about disconnecting the battery before doing this?

I got one stick of patriot ram and have not installed it yet do you think I really need another patriot to match or should I be fine with the mix , if I end up having problems I can always get another one but just wanting your opinion thanks

I have a Lenovo loq rtx 3050 intel i5. Bestbuy website says it supports up to 16 gb ram but reviews said it supported 32 gb ram. Which one is it?

Does anyone you know if the Loq 15 would run 2×16 crucial ram sticks?

you should disconnect the battery first to prevent short that could damage your motherboard

can i upgrade the battry to 80 wh ??

can you link the ram that you used?

ddr5 already works as duel channel even with a single stick.

In my case the task manager says 4800 :( why?

now can you show me how to put ssd on loq

Is there a problem when we use 1 slot with a different brand? Ex : default brand + brand a Thanks

Can we upgrade to 32? or the maximum ram capacity is 16?

What ram did you use

Will this void my warranty

What’s the max ram ?

So do i use 5600mhz or 4800mhz?

Followed instructions. Now my screen won't turn on.

unplug the battery and ground yourself first

5:30, a single ddr 5 ram acts as a dual channel by itself. edit: u found it!!

you beard is too long, its like a forest, cut it to stubble beard, much more appealing and attractive.
