Hi all,

I’m planning to preorder a Framework Laptop 16 DIY Edition with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mainboard, and I want to confirm RAM compatibility before pulling the trigger. I have a DDR5 SODIMM kit from before the price boom that I’d like to bring with me if it’ll work.

The kit:

  • Kingston Fury Impact
  • Part number: KF548S38IBK2-64
  • 2x32GB DDR5 SODIMM
  • 4800 MT/s, CL38-38-38, 1.1V
  • JEDEC profile (no XMP/EXPO)

The Laptop 16 spec sheet lists DDR5-5600 as the supported speed. My expectation is that the kit will downclock and run at 4800 MT/s via JEDEC backward compatibility on the AI 300 mainboard, but I wanted to ask the community whether anyone has actually run 4800 SODIMM in a 16 (AI 300 generation specifically) and seen the full 64GB recognized without issues.

If anyone is running this exact part number, or a similar Kingston Fury 4800 kit, and can confirm it works, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Equally useful if anyone has tried it and run into issues I should know about.

I’ve also reached out to Framework support directly, but figured the community here might have some firsthand experience.

Thanks in advance!

The kingston fury 5600 runs ok in the AMD 7040 series.
There have been reports of incompatibilities with the AMD AI 300 series.
Also, the FW is pretty fussy about ram, so at a guess, i don’t think your 4800 ram will work.

This can also be seen by the kingston fury ram being removed from the ram compatibity list on AI 300 when compared to 7040.

FW has a 30 day return policy, so i guess you could buy it, if your ram does not work, return the laptop.
The added problem, is the ram might work, and pass memtest, but might still cause problems with unexpected hangs and reboot, and suspend / resume problems.

I have a AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (that I upgraded from Ryzen9 7940HS). During the upgrade I was able to use the same memory that I had in the 7940 and able to use it without any issue in my current HX 370 with no issues. *I have the 5600 speed. See below
