Are we clear that 96GB is fine in the f16 even though it’s not officially supported please? A number of members seem to have been okay with it. I’ll be using win 11 and linux distros as virtual machines sometimes.
Have you checked the knowledge base article if the RAM you want is supported?
I didn’t think any 48GB modules were supported. The ones I’ve seen people mentioned are the crucial 48GB modules.
In the knowledge base article, it does list one specific brand of 48gb sticks that work with the 16, although they aren’t crucial (not saying the crucial don’t work, just that they aren’t officially tested)
I found:
It doesn’t specifically mention a 48GB module. I’ll check more thoroughly tomorrow.
That’s the knowledgebase article for the original 11th Gen Intel based Framework Laptop, which only supports DDR4 ram (and DDR4 doesn’t support 48 GB modules).
Here is the article for the Framework Laptop 16:
The 10th module on the list is a 48 GB modules (in a 96 GB kit) from Mushkin.

I have been using mushkin 96gb for about a week now. No problems, no errors, have pushed past 75% usage. No problems.

I am currently running 2x 48GB DDR5 modules from Crucial for a total of 96GB of RAM, and I have had 0 issues with Windows or Ubuntu.

I can confirm that using Crucial RAM 96GB Kit (2x48GB) DDR5 5600MHz (or 5200MHz or 4800MHz) Laptop Memory CT2K48G56C46S5 at Amazon.com works perfectly with Arch Linux [BTW]. I am also using a Amazon.com: TEAMGROUP MP44S High Performance SSD 2TB SLC Cache Gen 4x4 M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 NVMe, Compatible with Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Mini PCs (R/W Speed up to 5,000/3,500MB/s) TM5FF3002T0C101 : Electronics as my only drive.

I also use arch (btw). Considering getting a 16 and buying the 96GB kit you mentioned. Is it still working out for you all this time later? Run into any issues? Which Ryzen did you get?
Batch 5 FW16 here. Been using 96GB 5600MHz Crucial kit since I got the laptop. On first boot, it didn’t want to boot; RAM may not have been properly seated. Pulled 1 stick, reseated the other, and it booted fine. Then added 2nd stick back in, and it booted just fine. It has been running great ever since.

Batch 14. I’m fine with 96GB crucial on Windows 11.
I was able to test the following product in 3 different motherboards without any issues.
Crucial RAM 96GB Kit (2x48GB) DDR5 5600MHz (or 5200MHz or 4800MHz) Laptop Memory CT2K48G56C46S5
I can’t say that I didn’t count every second after I pressed the button but, it always took an average of 30-35 seconds for the memory training.
I am fine with 96g 5600mt on win 11 as well
Thinking of buying the Crucial module. Are you guys having any issues with temperature of the sticks?
No problems for me with the Crucial 96GB.
The temperature of the sticks do get to the high 50s for me and I believe I have seen even higher, but I cannot recall. I believe the max I saw was 80C. My Framework 16 is at the repair center though so I cannot confirm this.
If someone else with the same kit could use HWiNFO to check that would be very helpful.
