[MrLegendriek]

Now I can use the gtx 1660 SUPER and the other hardware that is the included in my PC, but in the future I would like to upgrade my components to ones better.

@MrLegendriek,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

You likely can upgrade specific computer components in your PC.

Please verify: is your Victus By HP 15L Gaming Desktop PC TG02-0000a fitted with a 500-watt PSU, what processor is currently installed, how much RAM do you currently have, and what drive(s) do you have, and which one (SATA SSD or M.2 PCIe SSD) is your primary (boot) drive.

@NonSequitur777 answered what you can do with what you have. 

For the future and possibly another system, stick with the Omen by HP

https://www.omen.com/us/en/desktops.html

For example, the Omen 45L has an ATX case so it takes standard ATX components.

Look for NVidia and AMD's Radeon offerings.  If those graphic boards are offered then upgrades are available.

For example the 25l & 30L shows

• Up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3090​​

If buying a used system check eBay for images of the motherboard and look for 24 pin power connector.

You can also go here

https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer/

and put in a model name and see what components are used.  If "ATX" is listed then a standard ATX power supply can be used (f was Power supply)   If the motherboard is identified as uATX then any standard uAT motherboard can go into the case -or- you can get a better uATX case and put the motherboard in it.

You can also use google to search for the name of the system and include the phrase "mod" or "case mod" and see if any owners have done in the way of upgrades.

@MrLegendriek,

All right, let's do this first:

1.) Type in cmd in your Windows search bar.

2.) Right-click on the Command Prompt App, then left-click on Run as administrator.

3.) Left-click on Yes.

4.) Copy/paste: wmic memorychip get devicelocator, manufacturer, partnumber, capacity, speed, memorytype, formfactor

You will see something like this (retrieved from my PC as we speak): 

5.) Please provide the RAM info you got from your Victus by HP 15L Gaming Desktop PC TG02-0000a (4H508AV) fitted with an Erica8 motherboard (SSID: 89D8).

You said you have one 16GB RAM stick fitted in one RAM slot with the other RAM slot free, correct?

If I had to guess, your 16GB RAM stick likely is this Kingston branded HP RAM: HP37D4U1S8ME-16X running at 3200 MHz.

Please be advised: it is strongly recommended to install identical RAM (brand, model, capacity) in all RAM slots.

If your one 16GB RAM stick is indeed the HP37D4U1S8ME-16X, you are sort of out of luck -they are difficult if not impossible to locate/purchase, and 'mixing' this RAM with another DDR4 3200 MHz brand may or may not produce the RAM performance (speed) you are hoping for.

Be careful what RAM you pick.  HP computers are known to be selective when it comes to RAM and especially achieving max RAM speeds.

Consider this sorry show-and-tell 'Gaming' RAM example with this fancy Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x16GB RAM kit: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54036696

You can see the problem: this high-end RAM is stuck at 2133 MHz:

But I digress.

Anyway, here are two 2x16GB RAM kit examples of affordably priced used DDR4 3200 MHz RAM via eBay that will run at 3200 MHz on your rig:

1.) Samsung M378A2K43EB1-CWE 2x16GB (DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM): https://www.ebay.com/itm/165743191160?epid=27044013172&hash=item2697106478%3Ag%3Ap9cAAOSwJF5jWFgT&am...

Available [10/30/22 @ 17:20 MST] and priced at: $89.99 + $15.60 shipping.

2.) Hynix HMA82GU6DJR8N-XN 2x16GB (DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM): https://www.ebay.com/itm/384986787611?hash=item59a3002f1b:g:UG8AAOSw16Jiwlbn&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsB...

So, what RAM should I pick?

[MrLegendriek]

I can show you this too.

@MrLegendriek,

Do I have good news for you: your 16GB RAM stick is the SK Hynix HMA82GU6DJR8N-XN, which can be affordably purchased through eBay starting at $48. -Here are your options: sk hynix HMA82GU6DJR8N-XN: Search Result | eBay.

THIS is exactly what you should buy to complement your first Hynix RAM stick.

Hope this was helpful.
