Dear sir,

I am planning to add additional 16GB RAM to my T14 AMD Model.
I just wonder which RAM is suitable for T14?
1. Kingston 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Sodimm Value Ram - KVR32S22D8/16 or
2. Kingston 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Sodimm Value Ram - KVR32S22S8/16
Beside, can i add Kingston Hyper X 16GB DDR4 RAM to T14?

Thanks

What did you go with? it seems either is compatible but what is better, the single rank memory or the dual rank memory? From what I can gather single rank is probably better for the laptops, but curious. I was looking at Crucial memory for upgrade on my t14 gen2 intel.

Hi there

Just wanted to put in my experience with Ram upgrades.

I got a T14 Gen2 (AMD) with the 5650 processor. The soldered 8gb ram is 3200 - ddr4

i tried putting in a patriot Ram in that was slower (2666). It would boot up and run but would be susceptible to random hang/crashes.

I realized that the system MIGHT have been trying to overclock the patriot ram up to 3200 rather than downclocking everything.

Anyways, that was my thought/experience.


Will now try to ge a 3200 mhz module and retest




Ram was

Patriot Signature Series 8GB 2666MHz (PC4-21300) DDR4 SODIMM Memory Module



UPDATE Nov 2024

I can confirm that the 3200 mhz ram solved the instability problem that I had previously encountered.

I am now in the process of trying to install lexar ddr4 3200 - 32gb module to supplement the 8gb soldered on memory to bring it up to 40 gb total

It's crazy but even office /productivity work now requires ~ 16 gb ram and I use this as a mini-server.

I have a P14s Gen 2 AMD (same as T14) with 16GB soldered. I went for this and it works perfectly, giving me 32Gb

Just bought a T14 Gen2 (AMD) to replace an 8 year old T440s. So far so good, although there is one dead pixel on the screen - ON!

I have added 8GB memory. The crucial website was down when I was ordering (I often use Crucial as they have an excellent compatibility checker) so I ordered Kingston Fury 8GB 3200MHz. It works fine. Getting the back off is the biggest challenge.
