Is there any reason to not upgrade the RAM in the Nucleus. I’m surprised it only came with 4GB. Looking to upgrade to 1 8GB stick. Thanks.

You are allowed to change the RAM, but if it damaged by the new RAM or the upgrade process, that’s not covered under warranty.

I found this interesting. It suggests running in dual channel might bring some benefits, but not for the reasons I thought. [image] Single Channel vs. Dual Channel vs. Quad Channel Memory One common question that first-time builders and gamers have when they are choosing their memory is …

FYI only, not implying it is relevant for Nucleus or ROCK: [image] RAM Performance Benchmark: Single-Channel vs. Dual-Channel - Does It Matter? In this benchmark, we'll look at dual-channel vs. single-channel platform performance for Adobe Premiere, gaming, video encoding, transcoding, n…

A quick summary. My link suggest the only real benefit is marginally lower CPU use in dual channel. Both articles show no real world benefit bestowed by dual (or quad) channel in performance bench marking.

My Nucleus has 2 identical 4GB memory sticks. If I wanted to upgrade to 2 identical 8GB memory sticks (just for the heck of it), what would be a good pair to order from Amazon US? Thanks.

I upgraded mine for the same reason. Just make sure you match your specs on your current sticks to the 8gb stick. If buying from amazon just look for a bunch of good reviews. If I’m not mistaken, they’re mostly all fairly comparable. Hope that helps.

I could almost hear your sigh from here as you posted this Danny :wink:

I’ve been considering replacing RAM in a V1 Nuclues +, as the performance is lagging with a library of over 10,000 albums. It’s not the home network causing the lag (sometimes Roon won’t connect at all from a remote interface) but it could definitely be ISP related (will look at replacing the modem …

That N+ had 8GB, which should be more than enough for 10k albums (about 100k tracks). What type of performance lag are you feeling? If Roon won’t connect at all from a remote, that’s 100% a local network issue and not your ISP.

And of course you’re right and we did address the network…but perhaps the network still needs some work (it’s tough because everything else is running so smoothly except for just the Nuc+). But for a moment let’s jut assume the network settings are correct and there is no issue connecting to the Nuc…
