16GB RAM Upgrade | Lenovo Ideapad S145 | LNVNB161216

[@incelemeTRe]

I have the same notebook, i'll upgrade it like you did. Very informative and nice video, thank you. Update: I purchased 16 GB 2400 MHz sodimm(Kingston) DDR4 and installed. Worked flawlessly. When i upgraded to 20 GB, total memory for VGA increased to 10gb (2+8 shared). Now using Unity is way more snappier. Thank you again.

[@whattmeter]

awesome glad to hear you were able to upgrade!

Would you recommend this upgrade or just buying a new laptop? I have the same laptop as this, it is very slow.

[@incelemeTRe]

@@oveyo8254 I think you can easily decide with monitoring your ram while you're using the most demanding programs. Mine was not enough so this upgrade really solved my problem. If you're not gaming on your laptop, I think it'll be enough. For example, now mine using up to 14 GB ram while on heavy load.

[@ShakeelThomas-hq9nu]

Dude ! i had this old S145 in the back of my home office for years - bought it brand new and it was so darn slow i barely used it. Just ordered a 16GB ram stick and cannot wait to get it to plug in! Appreciate this video ! Just needing this extra laptop now as i need a seperate one to run IDE environments on

[@whattmeter]

Awesome good luck with the upgrade.

[@davidlacey7676]

Excellent video. Worked exactly as shown. It was a bit tricky taking the plastic cover off after removing the screws. Start at the back on the ends of the hinges with a small screw driver or knife and work from that end. After it was started it was easy. Wear a grounding bracelet as in the video. Putting it back together was also very easy. Thanks very much.

Uprgading your RAM is a safe and legal thrill!

[@nishant5833]

Hey man, great tutorial.. straight to the point! I have the same laptop but on Lenovo's website they say the max ram capacity is 12gb, does that mean the 16gb stick will cause problems in future?

[@whattmeter]

I’ve been using it for work long hours. Never had any issues yet. I could be wrong but it could be the same like dell where they have recommended ram which was when they designed the laptop. Then when the bios gets updated they allow more ram. If they really wanted to prevent more than 12gb they could control it with the bios update. It’s kinda like how some laptops can only run 2400mhz ram. Even if you put a ram with 2666mhz, it only runs it at 2400mhz because they capped it. Just my opinion though. Issue is this laptop has no dedicated gpu memory so it relies a lot on the ram

[@whattmeter]

Oh yeah i would double check to make sure the cpu you have can handle the upgrade or run crucial scanner to double check if the ram upgrade is possible

[@nishant5833]

So I have the Ryzen 5 3500u version with the Vega 8 integrated graphics..and yeah it takes up a lot of ram! On Crucial website it says that the laptop can support 20GB ram but on Lenovo's Forums people are saying do not exceed the maximum 12 gigs... I want to upgrade soon and I'm confused between the 12 and 20 gigs. How do I check if it's safe to upgrade to 20 tho?

[@whattmeter]

If you are having doubts just play it safe. That ryzen 5 can handle it but if other people are saying they have issues with 20gb probably best to play it safe. I wonder if those having issues updated their bios. But in my opinion, best to play it safe and stick to the official lenovo website recommendations especially if you still have a warranty. The ryzen 5 with vega 8 integrated graphics! Very nice! Maybe there’s an incompatibility issue with this cpu, the 4gb ram integrated then the dim slot. The ryzen gets an increased performance boost with dual channel but maybe since it’s a different setup there’s some issue

[@virtuallifevideos5924]

@@whattmeter From what I can tell, the max gb upgrade is based on what model of Lenovo Ideapad S145, there are SEVERAL versions with different Chips, so I think if you have the Intel chip you can upgrade to 20Gb but if you have AMD like me, 12Gb may be the max.

[@karaduzencorsa]

I see that it has been a long time since this video was shared. I am a little late to write this, my laptop is Lenovo ideapad s145-15api model. It has Ryzen 5 3500u and 4gb ram soldered to the motherboard + there is an empty ram slot here. I thought about buying 16gb ddr4 2400mhz ram, but the max ram is said to be 12gb or 16gb. If I buy 16gb ram I will reach 16+4gb 20gb ram but I am not sure about this. If you have any thoughts, please tell me.

Bro i have one s145 ryzen 5 3500u with 12 gb ram and also my brother has s145 ryzen 7 3700u with 8 gb ram. We are thinking about ram upgrade on his r7 3700u. How much gb of ram we should upgrade? 12 or 16? Can you help?

[@whattmeter]

I would run crucial scanner to see how much ram is compatible. usually 12gb of ram is more than enough, unless you are trying to run some extensive games/ multi tasking. It has 4gb ram built in so if you have a 12gb ram stick it would give you 16gb total which is usually more than enough. Ryzen's are pretty good too.

By any chance are they heat pads?

How can I learn my laptop's max ram capacity

you can use crucial scanner, looks up the pc specs manufacturer's website, or task manager (help determine slots).

No entiendo nada de ingles.. pero con los subtitulos entendi que puso 20 Gb de Ram a esa Lenovo ...? Yo quiero saber si puedo poner 16 gb de Ram a mi Lenovo ideapad s145-15iwl o si solo se le puede poner 8 gb de ram

[@mclegend8714]

Lo que hizo es ponerle una tarjeta de 16 gigabytes de Ram a el slot libre de la Lenovo, termino con 20 gigas de ram porque la tarjeta madre de la laptop viene con 4 gigabytes por defecto que no se pueden reemplazar. Y con respecto a la otra pregunta se algo, lo importante es tener el tipo correcto de tarjeta Ram para el dispositivo

[@lucivaljunior3511]

I have a question, my ideapad 330 has a soldered 4Gb slot next to the motherboard and another removable 4GB, In the future I intend to upgrade it but the doubt is, can I put a 16GB memory freely or would there be a problem? (I don't know his maximum RAM capacity.)

[@reo1223]

Has anyone had experience with an Ryzen 5 3500u upgrade? I want to increase the RAM to at least 12GB, but I'm worried about the performance after the disabled Dual Channel. And I don't really understand how much memory my laptop can take, many sites like Crucial say 20GB, but WMIC shows 12, Lenovo also says 12 (model S145-15API)

Can upgrade the 8gb DDR4 2666MHz RAM card to Lenovo S145 - LNVNB161216 laptop ???????????

[@joshuah3587]

I've got the Celeron version of this laptop with 4GB 2666MHZ Ram and no SSD. Can Celeron handle 16GB Ram and can I add an SSD? Also, I only see 4GB of Ram in CPU-Z, as if the non-removeable Ram is unrecognised.

[@whattmeter]

What celeron model exactly? Also you would have to check the motherboard also. You can use cpuz to find out what cpu and motherboard model you have. You can also use crucial scanner to see possible ram and ssd upgrades

[@joshuah3587]

@@whattmeter I've got a Celeron 3865U. Crucial has helped me out on the RAM front. Now I'm really just curious about whether I can add ab NVME SSD into the empty slot. Crucial doesn't say anything since there's no SSD installed at the moment. By the way, thank you very much for your quick response time.

[@whattmeter]

No problem. That’s interesting crucial doesn’t suggest any m.2 ssd huh. You can identify the motherboard using cpuz and looking up to see is it’s m.2 compatible

[@dipesh2110]

Can I use 3200 MHz Ram in this mother board

[@whattmeter]

Best to check your current ram speed and max capacity since ram will run at the same speed as your slowest ram. I would go to task manager then performance tab then memory to see your current ram speed. Even if you put a 3200 mhz stick but have ram that is running slower for example like 2400 mhz - all ram would run at 2400mhz. Hope that makes sense

[@kurtbeystudio]

Hi. The official website says its max memory is 12gb. How did you upgrade it to 20gb? It's Lenovo IdeaPad S145 with Ryzen 3 right?

[@whattmeter]

This model is not ryzen unfortunately. I made a lenovo video with ryzen which was 12gb

[@sr.ronald]

Bro, my notebook is the same as the one in the video, but my model is the celeron N4020 ( 81WT0006BR ), on the website it says that the Celeron only supports 8gb of RAM in total :( , I'm frustrated because I would buy an 8gb stick to total 12gb with the soldier, is this possible?

[@whattmeter]

One thing you can do to double check max ram capacity is open cmd as admin. Type wmic memphysical get maxcapacity. Convert the kb to gigabytes to get max ram capacity

[@barry2521]

thank you for the video, i have a lenovo ideapad s145 with non removable soldered 4 GB RAM, should i add the same 4GB RAM for best performace or could i add 8GB. im not sure if uneven RAM 4 and 8 would be good or not ... what are your thoughts ?

[@whattmeter]

I would go 8gb ram if possible (8gb+4gb). You can check cpuz to see if it runs dual channel. There’s a noticeable difference in performance in my opinion running 12gb total vs 8gb

[@barry2521]

@@whattmeter is there any way for me to see if my soldered inter grated 4G RAM is 2666 or 2400 i cannot see its specifications due to it being integrated and i cannot remove it ... will it make a difference if the two are not the same ?

hello sir , how much mhz does it have the unremovable 4gb ram ?

[@whattmeter]

2400 mhz, any ram stick you put in will also read at 2400 mhz if it’s a faster stick

[@x7lucian7x]

@@whattmeter if i go to the task manager , at memory , I see I have 2133mhz speed and I know that removable one has 2667 mhz , Does that mean I have 2133mhz on the immovable one ?

[@whattmeter]

That is interesting. Most likely yes. What model is this?. You can check cpu z or other programs to see the speed of each ram. So i’m guess both ram slots are used? 2 out if 2?

[@whattmeter]

Are you using msi afterburner or another program for overclocking or modifying ram speed by any chance? Is the removable ram stick a high density ram stick?
