You will only need a Philips head screwdriver and a plastic pry tool. See the <a href=\"#3-ram-upgrade-steps\">steps below<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before performing any work inside the laptop you need to disable the internal battery. This is done by restarting your laptop. When you see the logo screen, immediately <strong>press F1<\/strong> to enter the BIOS\/UEFI Setup. From there, select <em><strong>Config \u2799 Power<\/strong><\/em>. Then select <em><strong>Disable built-in battery<\/strong><\/em> and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>. Finally, select <em><strong>Yes<\/strong><\/em> and the laptop will turn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fbf8d2\">The maximum RAM in the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is <strong>64GB<\/strong> across its two DIMM slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fbf8d2\">The X1 Extreme Gen 4 laptops have two <strong>DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM slots<\/strong> and are dual-channel capable. Buy two of the same memory DIMM to take advantage of the dual-channel capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that Lenovo states the maximum amount of RAM is 64GB, but the 11th gen. Intel processors can handle up to 128GB of memory. The chipset is the Intel WM590 chipset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" id=\"2-what-ram-does-the-x1-extreme-gen-4-use\" style=\"color:#993366;font-size:26px\">What RAM Does The X1 Extreme Gen 4 Use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy <strong>DDR4-3200 RAM<\/strong> for the X1 Extreme Gen 4 models. And buy two of them to use the dual-channel capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fbf8d2\">I recommend you buy dual rank(2Rx8) memory. The X1 Extreme does not support XMP, so do not buy XMP RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve listed some compatible RAM below:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-68b23d62\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LSNIVj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) 3200MHz CL22:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"upgraandoptio-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B08TQBY2NR\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"3d246a9b7f9a45797733adf154f522f6\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PAxoLH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) 3200MHz CL22:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"upgraandoptio-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B08T17RQ87\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"cc1651870753b557f097917024035f41\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/39Mbd4I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Corsair Vengeance Performance SODIMM Memory 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL22:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"upgraandoptio-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B08GSTF5NJ\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"827fffbdea95ef869c193ea7cfaed2ae\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" id=\"3-ram-upgrade-steps\" style=\"color:#993366;font-size:26px\">RAM Upgrade Steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go into the BIOS\/UEFI and disable the battery before upgrading the laptop.
