dado023 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 i would like to purchase CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 but i am uncertain will it work properly with my HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC My CPU is i7-3720QM First i used Memory Finder on corsair.com, but there aren't many choices when it comes to dv7-7000 series. Would you be so kind you look into this, so i can decide with certainty before i make a purchase for my laptop. Kind regards Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Since your system was a custom ordered item there are no product sheets available for your config. If you LT had a total memory capacity of 16gigs, then they SHOULD work. But with a custom config and no ifo on it there is always the off chance they wont. So just be sure that where ever you purchase them will let you return them if they don't or contact HP and ask them if they are compatible or not.

dado023 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 hm, i am trying to find more info here http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf because all CTO are based on same MBO, just different CPUs, HDDs, DVD/BD...etc could take a peak in this pdf, because i think i have read somewhere in it 16GB shoudl work find, but somehow i am not that convinced.

peanutz94 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 At least the way I read it you should be able to use 2x8gig modules. But I would contact HP just to be sure. I just wouldn't want you to buy something that would not work beause of lack of information Memory modules (2, PC3, 12800, 1600-MHz): 8-GB memory module 670034-001 4-GB memory module 641369-001 2-GB memory module 652972-001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 1, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 1, 2013 According to the information listed from HP those modules CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 should be compatible with your system however, it is not listed in our memory finder so I would not be able to verify that. So I would make sure that who ever you purchase them through has a good return policy should they not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dado023 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 thanks ram guy, i will purchase it, ....i don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, since this intel chipset/MBO and CPU supports it by default, except if HP didn't do any downgrading on hardware level...i hope they didnt mess with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
