Hi everyone. I just bought an Asus ROG Strix G17 G713PV-HX019W (AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX, RTX 4060, 16GB DDR5 4800MHz in slot1, and slot2 is empty). I need to upgrade to 64GB due to my heavy workload (containerization, virtualization, SQL, etc.).
ASUS official maximum capacity is 32GB, but when I looked I found that the CPU and the motherboard both support up to 64GB 4800MHz, also I found many sites and people stats that it's compatible up to 64GB.
Is it ok to try install 32GB DDR5 4800MHz in the empty slot (total 48GB) and test if the laptop is stable and compatible? Then if everything is ok try to replace the stoke 16GB with another 32GB?
Also, ASUS customer support confirmed that I need to stick with Samsung or Kingston and not Crucial. Is it really confirmed or also just recommendation? because I can't find them in my local market I only found Crucial.
Also, what are your recommendations to prepare and then test the laptop during this trials?
Thanks in advance.
