Many customers have encountered difficulty choosing a RAM to upgrade their mini PC.
RAMs are important components that connect the Mini PC's CPU and storage, and they have a very big impact on the Mini PC's performance.
Simply put, the CPU needs to fetch data from the hard disk when running programs, but the hard disk reading speed is relatively slow, so it needs to use RAM to make a connection. If the memory is not enough, the running speed will decrease, the program response will become slow, or there will be stuttering.
Press 【Ctrl+Shift+Esc】 at the same time, open the computer 【Task Manager】, and select 【Details】-【Performance】-【Memory】, if the RAM usage percentage exceeds 90%, it means that the RAM capacity has encountered a bottleneck and needs to be upgraded.
The task manager can also check the number of RAM slots on the Mini PC, and decide whether to replace a larger capacity RAM or directly install another RAM.
Of course, there is another situation, that is "You think the Mini PC needs to upgrade RAM". When you have a clear purpose of use and feel that the RAM is not enough to support your Mini PC running some software, you naturally have requirements for RAM.
②The speed did not improve after changing the RAM
③The Mini PC black screen and could not open after installing the RAM
Isn't it just opening the Mini PC and plugging the RAM into the slot? Where did the problem occur? How can we avoid these problems?
For example, using 16GB 3200MHz RAM and an 8GB 2666MHz one to form a dual channel, 8GB of the 16GB one can form a 2666MHz dual channel with another one, and the remaining 8GB still runs in 2666MHz single channel mode.
*It depends on the action of the memory controller. In theory, it can double the bandwidth provided by two equal-specification memories, thereby effectively improving your Mini PC's running speed.
The following are the RAM specifications of our products. Do you have any questions about these tips? Let me know.
This article will talk about when to upgrade RAM, how to choose RAM, and the specifications of RAM for our Mini PCs which can be used in selecting RAM.

How to know if the Mini PC RAM needs to be upgraded?
When the Mini PC is stuck, we can use the task manager to check the memory usage and judge whether it is caused by insufficient memory, the specific operation is as follows:Press 【Ctrl+Shift+Esc】 at the same time, open the computer 【Task Manager】, and select 【Details】-【Performance】-【Memory】, if the RAM usage percentage exceeds 90%, it means that the RAM capacity has encountered a bottleneck and needs to be upgraded.

But many friends have encountered various problems after installing RAM by themselves:
①The system did not show the RAM after installing it②The speed did not improve after changing the RAM
③The Mini PC black screen and could not open after installing the RAM

What should I pay attention to when upgrading RAM?
The installation method of RAMs is very simple, but the premise of completing a RAM upgrade is to choose the right RAM, and choosing a RAM requires attention to the following three aspects:1. Choose the correct RAM specification.
Because different motherboards support different RAM specifications, before upgrading the RAM, you need to confirm whether the motherboard supports DDR3, DDR4, or the latest DDR5 RAM. At the same time, laptop and desktop RAMs are also different in size and need to be noted when choosing.2. Confirm the maximum supported capacity of the Mini PC's RAM.
The maximum supported RAM capacity of each Mini PC is different. If it exceeds the maximum supported capacity, it may cause failure to boot or failure to recognize.3. Confirm the supported frequency of the Mini PC's RAM.
The motherboard and CPU also have requirements for the frequency of RAM. If the Mini PC only supports 2666MHz, inserting a 3200MHz RAM will automatically lower its frequency to 2666MHz. If you are directly installing a new RAM, it is recommended to choose one with the same frequency as your machine's original one.4. Problems to pay attention to when building dual channels
If you want to make two RAMs on your Mini PC from a dual channel*, you need to choose ones with identical specifications, capacities, and frequencies.For example, using 16GB 3200MHz RAM and an 8GB 2666MHz one to form a dual channel, 8GB of the 16GB one can form a 2666MHz dual channel with another one, and the remaining 8GB still runs in 2666MHz single channel mode.
*It depends on the action of the memory controller. In theory, it can double the bandwidth provided by two equal-specification memories, thereby effectively improving your Mini PC's running speed.
Summary
If you want to upgrade your Mini PC's RAM correctly, you must consider the specifications, capacity, frequency, and dual channel issues of your chosen ones. Match them with corresponding models.The following are the RAM specifications of our products. Do you have any questions about these tips? Let me know.
