Hello. ⛑
I want to replace (upgrade) the RAM in my computer. I have 2*8 (16) ( Samsung M378A1K43EB2-CWE)
memory in my computer, so I want to upgrade it to 32. My motherboard is:
HP name: Stark
SSID: 8860
Chipset H570
The website HP says that the motherboard supports the following improvements: (but it says that it supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933). But the native RAM, which I did not change and was already in the computer at the time of purchase, is M378A1K43EB2-CWE, which supports 3200, not 2933. In general, the question is - can I buy 32 GB 3200?)
- Dual channel memory architecture (One DIMM per channel)
- Two DDR4 DIMM (288-pin) sockets
- Supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933)
- Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs
- Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems
note:
32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory. - Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) with two 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit systems
note:
Maximum memory shown reflects the capability of the hardware and can be limited further in the operating system.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our HP Community forum!
Yes, HP's Stark motherboard (SSID: 8860) specs says: "Supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933)", even though the Intel Core 11th gen processors all support up to 3200 MHz RAM speed.
And indeed, based on actual HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx User benchmark results, the Stark motherboard does support RAM to run up to 3200 MHz, such as this User example: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/67502543.
Btw, your PC can handle up to 2x32GB RAM.
Based on the aforementioned User benchmarks, these RAM score amongst the best options and run at 3200 MHz:
2x16GB Samsung M378A2K43EB1-CWE
2x16GB Crucial CT16G4DFRA32A.C8FE
2x16GB Crucial CT16G4DFD832A.M16FR
2x16GB Hynix HMA82GU6DJR8N-XN
2x16GB Micron 16ATF2G64AZ-3G2E1
2x32GB Crucial CP32G4DFRA32A.C16FF
