2B36 2.0 (Kaili2) mobo RAM upgrade requirements
06-21-2021 12:53 PM

Does anyone have a link to a user manual for the 2B36 2.0 (Kaili2) mobo? I'm trying to upgrade the RAM and the HP documentation doesn't provide sufficient information. Specifically, I currently have two of four DIMM slots occupied, one with an 8 Gb stick and one with a 4 Gb stick (12 Gb total). Apparently the system doesn't require matching stick sizes in the two slots as one of my earlier computers did. Can I simply add another stick in the third slot, or will I have to occupy both the third and fourth slots for either of them to be recognized? For the record, the computer is an Envy 750-150xt CTO with DDR3-1600 (PC3L-12800) UDIMM RAM installed. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. When I upgraded the RAM in an earlier generation computer several years ago I had to match the stick sizes in each pair of slots. I was afraid this one might have been the same situation. A couple questions: Would I achieve dual channel mode if I put two 8 Gb sticks in one pair of slots, and two 4 Gb sticks in the other pair of slots? Or do all the slots have to have the same size sticks? For that matter, is it a valid configuration to have matching 8 Gb sticks in one pair of slots and the current 4 Gb stick in one of the other slots (20 Gb total)? Thanks!
