ASUS ROG GL502VM-FY169T RAM upgrade specifications

ASUS ROG Strix GL502VM-FY169T RAM upgrade specifications indicate one SO-DIMM memory slot for DDR4-SDRAM modules. The laptop features on-board memory combined with a single upgradeable SO-DIMM slot. Maximum supported RAM capacity reaches 24 GB with DDR4-SDRAM operating at 2133 MHz frequency. Compatible memory upgrades utilize the SO-DIMM form factor for the expandable slot, enabling users to increase total system memory capacity through this single available upgrade slot.

Additional Notes

• The presence of on-board memory creates a hard-wired minimum that prevents a total memory replacement and dictates the maximum possible capacity via a single expansion slot.
• Dual-channel performance is limited to the capacity of the on-board chip, resulting in an asynchronous or Flex Mode configuration when an 8 or 16 GB module is added.
• Installation of high-frequency modules will result in an automatic downclock to 2133 MHz to match the integrated memory controller and soldered chip timings.
• Physical memory expansion is restricted to a single SO-DIMM interface, requiring the removal of any existing module to increase total system capacity.
• Latency and timing settings for the entire system are determined by the slowest common denominator between the fixed on-board memory and the removable module.
• The 24 GB limit implies an 8 GB soldered base coupled with a 16 GB maximum for the expansion slot, precluding the use of 32 GB or larger single modules.
• Mismatched density between the soldered memory and the expansion module can lead to slight performance variances in memory-intensive tasks due to non-symmetrical bandwidth allocation.
