Thank you. Just upgraded my Lenovo h535s to 16gb and this video showed me how to move the dvd drive out of the way.

What is the most RAM I can put into my H530S? I know the limit is supposed to be 8 GB, but I hear of people running 12 Gb and 16GB. What brand are you using? What are the specs for me to order?

Im completely new to the whole computer upgrade thing... Im 16 and i love technology and gaming, ive decided to take my Lenovo H5s Series computer and transform it into a gaming computer. Would you recommend doing it myself? Or is there somewhere i could go if im afraid of messing something up that could upgrade something for me Ex Best Buy or something like that. Would really appreciate some feedback, thanks.

+G Holyspotweld Make sure its seated all the way. Also, you could check that its not a bad stick of ram by swapping the two sticks.

Hi mate i have the lenovo h500 4gb could you recommend a ram upgrade pack that will work with the computer no problems thanks

+DJ-Menace the h500 has a single sodimm slot (like a laptop) that can handle up to 8GB of RAM on that slot. It looks like the suggested configuration is a DDR3 PC3-12800. With that being said a safe (and suggested by Crucial) choice would be this 8GB SODIMM http://amzn.to/1McOYlS . When I don't know the exact specs on a motherboard I use the Crucial site to help figure out configurations. Its what I used when figuring out mine.

Hiii, if you could please help me, I have this computer and wondering if its compatible with the Radeon R9 280 graphics card? This computer is slim so I don't know if i'd be able to get it

HattiieeLikee It doesn't look like they make one in a low profile form factor...Sorry

+Doug Rowe depends if your computer can handle 16gb go to crucial scan and search if you're pc is valid with 16gb than if you wish to install 16gb ram in your pc go ahead.

Kingston HyperX Savage 8 Gt KIT (2 x 4 Gt) 1600 MHz DDR3 CL9 XMP
Will it work in H530s?

can i buy a 8GB Team,kingston or a-data ram with the original ram inside the h530s to become12GB?

RedTea If I remember correctly there is only one 4GB sticks in there. The reason you want to put two of the same kinds of RAM in is so you can take advantage of the Dual Channel memory capabilities of the h87 chipset. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Dual-Triple-and-Quad-Channel-Memory-Architectures/133/3

may I ask what the original RAM specs are? considering an upgrade, but would rather get 1X RAM to fill in the 2nd slot instead of 2x
- @Pierredorado300

dumb idea, always better to spread your ram over more than 1 stick.

For every day use you will have a perceived performance boost because programs will stay longer in memory instead of having to be cached on the hard drive. Writing to the hard drive is substantially slower than writing to memory.
