    Also, i do not have a proper prying tool that's why I've used a Card and a Guitar Pick! hahah...hope you guys enjoy the video, and let me know what kind of video you would like to see next!

    Hi everyone, I wish to address some comments regarding that I did not plug out the battery first, it is highly recommended to do so and I wish to apologize as I may have forgotten on this part. However in this video I did not plug out the battery myself and manage to do the upgrade without any problems. My laptop is still working fine as of today (2 years later).
    Thank you all for watching!

      Not different brand but different density of RAM. If you could, get dual x8 density RAM to get the best performance.
      Else, if your RAM is running dual channel that's also enough for me.

    Can I add 1tb m.2 slot on the 2nd slot?
    Can I change 512gb m.2 on 1st slot to 1tb also? So the total is 1tb on 1st slot + 1tb on 2nd slot for a total of 2tb?
    HOW IS THE LAPTOP as of today? Does it have any issues?

When reading dual ram, cpu will take 1133mghz and over ride power frequency from based 4.oghz cpu based up to 4.3 or 4.4ghz. It will take the duals but at this limit due to factory setting of single channels of 4gb each slot it give you both channels at the 4gb range each slot, no matter mixed gb sizes of using 4 sticks. Basically at the end, The CPU is asking in this manner to get just 1 stick of highest of 32g or 64gb. Its old CPU WITH REP OF BLOWING UP of novice overclocking before knowledge, lol.

      would take this path of using 800mhz each channel due to higher gb stick, the higer of voltage of buzzkill, lol. Oh, for using 4 sticks, cpu stick to using 24gb of forcing you to use 1 stick of greater gb size of a 32 or 64. Ill stick to getting a 32 gb stick. The math is simple, lol..

      Hey, adding RAM does increase temperature slightly as it boost performance, but it should be almost imperceptibly.
      You might wanna monitor it a few more days, to see what's the temp it's running and whether it's thermal throttling. Worse case scenario have to report to HP to claim warranty, probably they will do a thermal repaste and maybe replace your heatsink

    hey man, i have a 2x4gb HP victus. So I can buy 2 RAM sticks of an 8gb or 16gb and install right? And yes my max capacity is 33.54gb. Does the brand matter? My current RAM is a DDR4 3200. I just need to buy another RAM set with the same module ID right? Will it also work if I buy a single stick of 16gb or 32 gb RAM?
    Lastly, specifically for this VICTUS laptop, is there anything to do after installing the RAM on laptop? Like go to BIOS and change settings or something like that? or just install and turn on like normal?
