X170SM-G RAM compatible ?

Hy,

2x16GB Kingston HyperX Impact DDR4-3200MHz CL20 KIT (HX432S20IBK2/32) no problem compatible.
2x32GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200MHz CL16 KIT (BL2K32G32C16S4B) it's compatible X170SM-G laptop?

Somebody rehearsed it already? is going 3200MHz / CL16 without a trouble?
I would exchange present Kingston KI for this Crucial KI but I did not read much good one from him in compatibility already at laptops, although it is not upper category "DTR" like this there was a laptop into which it tried to be used.

Support the order did not solve it visibility troubles at me, somebody knows something about this, somebody else experienced this?

Thanks for helping!

Is this a PCSpecialist machine? Can you post your full specs from the order page?

Yes PCS machine,

Original buyers to friends, im warranty transfer ordered not looking to "my orders" list.
Support is arranged it my request the 3 years of platinum guarantee change, I should pay, but i don't see it into the drawer. I spoke it with them Live Chat on a surface, but it was not able to be solved, it was said they see my account, there it's okay, but i don't see anything.

I wrote it to them mail message and I expect it for him the answer, it was said the contact is established the management and it will be solved, a mistake may be a system.

RAM onto compatibility back up regaining, this would be going in my machine? (CRUCIAL 2x32GB KIT)

The only way to know if it’s compatible is to test it really.

Yes, I gave a thought to this me, too.:)
I will write if I test it what was the result.
The HX432S20IBK2/32 factory spec is going perfectly.
Thanks!
Good luck, it would be fantastic if it does work, that’s really nice RAM.

Looks like the XMP-3200 profile requires 1.35V instead of 1.2V, would need to check if the motherboard supports this voltage otherwise it will likely run at 2666 MHz max.
Perfect comment, that's exactly what I've noted as well and was going to mention here. It is very likely not going to work as I've never seen a laptop that supported 1.35V, but if they're selling it then it might mean that at least a few would (let me know if you can find one).

I also saw the reviews on Crucial's website and all of those were complaining about only getting 2600Mhz and the voltage difference is indeed the reason.

The Kingston HyperX Impact DDR4-3200MHz CL20 is one of the best RAMs that you can get for a laptop and not have compatibility issues, I would have bought them myself if they were available when I bought my laptop.

If you're so interested in lowering the CL of your RAM, then you need to start learning how to overclock it. CL18 is definitely achievable with that Kingston RAM and I'm assuming that CL16 might be as well if you're lucky and persistent :p.

EDIT: I'm now seeing that you have an intel i9, which if I'm not wrong will make your RAM run only up to 2966Mhz? So I'm not even sure if it's worth buying the best RAM that you can get, since it will be underutilized anyway? I'm not an Intel specialist anyway, so it's worth double checking.

How come a lot of the newer Intel laptops (even with 10th gen CPUs) come with 3200 MHz RAM then? It must be supported in some way?

Thank you!;)
Yeah, me too I read the manufacturer comments and not much hope adding, how would be going.
Kingston is perfect choice, a yes.
Is going without a trouble i9 beside a processor 3200MHz.

Laptop production (Minus Pad , Thermal Pad) thickness can may be anything in a contact information? I enclose a picture, would interest the thickness of the bench which can be found in the numbered positions.
(In the course of production what put? His size/his thickness that rather would interest)

PCS Support he was not able to reply in a merit in connection with this. Is possibly from this direction anywhere anything info?:unsure:

Nobody on here can help you with this information and frankly I'm not surprised PCS won't either. Could you explain why you want to know these dimensions? PCS would say that in all their laptops these dimensions are "sufficient". Puzzled. o_O

He might want to replace them, as when you're buying, there are many different thicknesses available. I agree that this would be very hard information to find, but I also would love to know mine just in case :p

@Maxx , while the thermal paste needs to be changed every time you remove the heatsinks, if the thermal pads look fine enough you don't need to replace them. That's what happened to me recently, they looked ok and I just changed the paste (actual photo from my heatsink):

Serves me right - it's hardware innit. I don't even know how to spell hadwrare... :oops:

Would interest, Because I would like to exchange it (TG Minus Pad 8 "1,1.5,2 mm" Phobya Thermal Pad "3 mm") and right I measured it (special dough) with the help of a digital calliper. I would have been curious what kind of thickness gets to him by way of a manufacturer. (we the standard)😊

It looks like you're a bit short on pads for the below part, as it's supposed to cover 4 chips (VRMs, I believe), but it's only covering 2 and a half:

Yes! Actual size (thickness) the aim was definition, that way there were enough so. Thank you for the remark. ;)

For who so is, it can measure it the accurate bench thickness? (Thermal Pad)
Thanks!

Yes you can mix more modern Ram Memory but there may be a bit of a tweaking to get it working
Not sure if this is any use to you now.

Shall I increase this longer? Worthy?:unsure::)
I did not find information and this in a contact unfortunately very much with this the plus value setting an acquaintance got it. (a test ran until his strength 2x)
