HP Omen 25L new RAM options

[DD4SRT]

I want to upgrade the RAM in my HP Omen 25L (with Dorado 8704 motherboard). Having read a lot of reviews and queries, it seems that HP RAM is required, like the existing HyperX Fury 2x8GB 3200MHz. People have had issues using other brands. 

But given that it is hard to find the old HyperX Fury RAM, are there any other options that will work to get 32GB of RAM (preferably 2x16GB)?

@DD4SRT,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

As you may be aware of, your OMEN 25L Desktop - GT12-0048na is very picky indeed with XMP-based RAM and to be honest, with any non-HP branded RAM in general. Since you want a 2×16 GB kit (32 GB total) that isn’t HP-branded, the safest bets are JEDEC-compliant modules from Crucial or Kingston.

Here are three good non-HP options that usually work without fuss on your platform:

Crucial Pro CP2K16G4DFRA32A 2x16GB running at 3200 MHz

Kingston HyperX KHX3200C16D4/8GX 2x16GB running at 3200 MHz (see: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/58539935)

Kingston Fury KF3200C16D4/16GX 2x16GB running at 3200 MHz (see: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/60156948)

Many thanks for the reply. It does seem that the choice is very limited. A quick search seems to suggest none of those three options are readily available in the UK. The Crucial Pro, for example, only seems to be a US import on Amazon. Are there any others that may work?

Thanks for looking. It's very limited, such a shame. I had hoped it would be easier to upgrade an HP Omen when I bought it.

@DD4SRT,

I would wholeheartedly agree with you.
