Question regarding AMD 24gb ram support for the framework 13

Framework Laptop 13
1

Hello,

I saw the note that 24GB modules may work but are unsupported; am I understanding correctly that 24GB of total ram from 2x12GB DIMMs are supported?

I’m considering going with 24GB of 5600ghz ram from crucial and wanted to make sure I’m understanding compatibility correctly

Thanks

(Also, apologies if there’s a better place I could have posted, my laptop is broken hence the need for a shiny framework, and I found the forum layout a little confusing on mobile)

No, only 8, 16, 32 GB modules are supported.

While not officially supported, I am running a 2x24GB kit just fine. This might not be the same for 12GB DIMMs, but it’s probably worth a try if you just want 24GB

Quite frankly the cost difference between 2x12GB and 2x16GB can’t be that much. I didn’t know they made 12GB modules, or is the OP looking at a single 24GB?

Thank you, I’m glad I asked so I can make the choice intentionally

I meant 2x12 GB :slight_smile:

Unfortunately it’s $26 more for the 32 GB kit, I’ll have to look at sellers other than amazon (I know thats not technically that much more, but I’m already thinking I’ll likely go way over budget to get the ryzen 7 for better 3D performance and future proofing). 24 GB would be nice future proofing, 32GB would be massive overkill for me right now, but at $70 it would be cheaper to get 24GB than to get the 16GB kit from framework so it seemed like a really nice upgrade while keeping the same kinda price for the component

Now I gotta decide if I wanna go with an unsupported memory configuration, or the alternative is likely just going with 16 GB of RAM. That’s probably more than enough right now, but may need an upgrade in the future.

If anyone has thoughts or suggestions I’d be open to them. Prior to breaking my old laptop I was learning blender and Godot and wanted to start learning some 3d game Dev, so thats what I’m spec-ing the laptop for. But I’m not really interested in anything super graphically complex

(Also is it rude to reply to a thread twice to address multiple people separately? I’m not really used to old fashioned forum etiquette, vs like reddit/lemmy where replies are threaded)
