Jason do you know what is the best chipset for this laptop I want to upgrade it but dont know which is the best chipset I am in a budget

[@core7560]

Hi bro what is the model of ram did you buy is HRPOL ram for lapt compatible to my NP300E4c?

[@gurmanveer]

bro, i have this same laptop... please tell me which ram should I buy... which ram u used in this video ??

[@core7560]

Hi we have the same laptop after I upgraded it can I play a games like dota 2?

Congrats for passing 500 subs ! 1 more doubt , i opened mine and i have 1x4gb not 2x2 as i tough , so i will go saving money and just adding one 8gb card to that , will the laptop be able to regonize 12gb ram? ( im asking because everything you see is 4 , 8 , 16 and 32.. ) And on my motherboard says DDR3 only , can i buy DDR3L or its something different ? By what i see it has same speed ( 1.600 )

[@whattmeter]

yes, 12gb of ram will be recognized.

[@_davidsuciu]

@Youskay nope , i have 12 on it right now and its recognised , it says 11,7gb of ram usable

[@cutekitty2092]

2021 and some people still CAN NOT recognised that 1MB is NOT 1000kB but 1024kB, that same with 1GB is NOT 1000MB BUT 1024MB, that means 12GB is 11700MB thats why your computer read it 11,7GB Computer math are NOT same with General math due to binary count

[@opinajeanclaude8143]

Bro can you recommend me me a cpu so i can upgrade the cpu of mine. Laptop is old but ive change some of it and still able to use it to some games the only problem is the gpu is so low

[@karthiksanthosh9385]

bro my HDMI port isn't working in this laptop any fix ?

[@_davidsuciu]

Brother , can i upgrade gpu on this laptop too? Or only the cpu?

[@whattmeter]

cpu yes, gpu from what I can tell, I doubt it from looking at it. I could be wrong though, I've never really upgraded laptop gpus before. since I mostly experiment with entry level laptops.

[@mahenderkurikyala3388]

I just wanted to know that there were 4 slots for ram showed in the system properties but we can only see two slots... so where were the extra two slots

Hi Sir why this laptop has 4 Memory Slot show in Task Manager. I only see 2 memory Slot?

[@whattmeter]

oh really? I didn't notice. definitely 2 slots though

[@nathnaelgetachew7379]

Does it have slots under the keyobaord Cuz mine says 2 of 4 slots are used

That’s interesting. Different model? That might be different if it shows more slots available

can i use 8gb ddr3 1333 1.5v to make it 12gb

[@melyckpro9772]

Which RAM works with this device? 1.5 volts or 1.35 volts?

[@Zryptr]

Hello how much ram can it support? Like can it support a 16gb ram Or only two 8gb

[@whattmeter]

do you happen to have the same model exactly? If you're not sure, run cmd as admin use “wmic memphysical get maxcapacity” convert kb to gb to see your max ram capacity

[@melyckpro9772]

What is the RAM that works with the device? 1.5 volts or 1.35 volts?

[@brunothefox7146]

I think both since I have DDR3 1x2Gb and a DDR3L 1x4Gb and both works well

I have the samsung NP300E4A the screen is glitching then it goes into just black screen. What is the problem of my laptop? I need my laptop for online classes. Hope u can help me even though my comment is not connected to your video. Thanks!

[@whattmeter]

You will have to troubleshoot. not sure. Monitor (screen) might be going out. They have a lifespan and they degrade over time. You try connecting it to an external monitor? If you duplicate the displays, and the screen goes out but not on the external, then the monitor is going out. Unfortunately like all electronics they degrade over time. They have a certain lifespan.

[@kerthferrer3127]

@@whattmeter i already tried to duplicate the display but when the screen starts to glitch the external display will disconnect even though it's still connected. But still thank you. I'll be subscribing to your channel 😊

How many gigs of Ram I can put on this laptop? I've read 8gb but read somewhere that it can take 16gb

did you find an answer?

8GB

@@thiago4022 yes just using a regular 4gb and 8gb stick (2400 mhz) it's still alive today. With the upgrade (together with the ssd replacement) I can do minimal editing using 2020 photoshop. Although I very seldom use the laptop now.

[@harveysalvador1819]

Hi Sir This laptop is recognized 16 gb of ram? And also this laptop has 4 Memory Slot?

[@whattmeter]

The laptop in the video has two slots only. Based on the cpu if it can handle 16gb ram. “Officially” it supposedly can handle only 8gb ram but I have been proven wrong before

[@HeyTimLo]

I have the np300e5c-A07 us model ; and I can confirm it recognizes 12 gb ; i installed an 8 and a 4 PNY ddr3 1300 just today ; not only does the laptop hum, but my hunch is if i had a mirroring additional 8gb ; it would recognize 16 gb .... my model has only 2 slots for memory.
