So this laptop series came with a bunch of different model numbers, line-ups, and even different specs in machines with the same exact model number. For example, every other machine I've seen online came with at least two sticks of RAM, and most of them with at least 16GB. That is why I make a new thread, even though I've read one or more threads on this mobo already.
Mine was untouched and I broke its packaging, yet there was only one 8GB stick inside. I recently tossed it out, and bought myself a set of these
https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX426S15IB2_8.pdf to go dual channel, and of course higher capacity.
Even though these should automatically overclock themselves to the mobo's max potential, they will not go above the manufacturer's set limit (thanks Acer, for setting this one's limit to 1333MHz).
Now I do know the mobo has an actual limit (I forgot, but I think it's 2666), but I want to at least get it as high as I can.
I have never done BIOS modding before, but I am willing to get physical, if anyone would like to teach me!
Attaching a couple of pics just in case. Pics don't seem to agree to being uploaded.
Cheers!
