Ram and CPUs are different. CPU refers to your processor (like i3 i5 i7 etc), these are usually soldered to the motherboard on laptops and not interchangeable.

Ram, on the other hand, often is upgradeable in laptops, and reasonably easy to do.

Here is a site that will help you: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-gaming-15-cx0058wm

I simply googled your model number and "ram upgrade".

Lastly, the ram speed is important. I recommend springing for the 2666 or the 3200. This number has to do with the access speed for the ram.

Feel free to pm me other questions.

all of this is correct except...

Make sure you enable XMP/DOCP in the bios if you get faster ram.

I'm pretty sure that there is no XMP feature on any Crucial options for that laptop model.

found out how to view what i had in it etc, and i got another ordered, it was a 8gb ddr4 2666mhz laptop ram card, got another ordered for only 30 to make my laptop 16ram, and it should get here tomorrow or the next day at the latest







also when i said cpu's i was just abbreviating computers lol, thanks tho

you only have 2 banks, DDR4-3200 SODIMM is the Ram you want 16GB sticks.. Ebay 1x16gb ddr4 3200

i kno i only have 2 slots, but i ordered 1 that matches the card in it alrdy so a 3200 wouldnt work for me cuz the other i alrdy had was a 2666


can close thread its alrdy fixed

If your mobo support s a 3200 and you put a 3200 and a 2666 in it, the mobo will downclock the 3200 to a 2666
