I'm trying to find a compatible RAM stick for my OMEN 40L Desktop GT21 1304 Bundle PC (8R3T0AA). I bought a Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) kit, but it doesn’t work properly. The system starts up, but it feels slow, and whenever I try to launch a game, it crashes after about 30 seconds. A diagnostic check also shows hardware issues. I need more space on my PC for better gaming performance, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could suggest what to do next or recommend a RAM that would work with my system.
specifications:
- Up to Intel Core i9-14900K (up to 6.0 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 36 MB L3 cache, 24 cores, 32 threads) with Liquid Cooling 1
- Up To a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24 GB GDDR6X dedicated) with NVIDIA DLSS 3, Ray Tracing and Reflex technology
- Up to Kingston FURY 64 GB DDR5-5200 MHz XMP RGB Heatsink RAM (4 x 16 GB)

Welcome to our HP Community forum!
Based on actual HP OMEN by HP 40L Gaming Desktop GT21-1xxx user benchmarks, here are two RGB RAM options (not counting HP-branded Kingston RAM such as 2x16GB Kingston HP52U40S8HM-16FRA) for your OMEN 40L Desktop GT21-1304 (8R3T0AA) as fitted with the Frostbreath motherboard [SSID: 8A98].
2x32GB G.SKILL TZ/RJ/FX DDR5 6400 C32 clocked at 6400 MHz: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/68313031, with Amazon purchase reference: https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Trident-288-Pin-CL32-39-39-102-F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RK/dp/B0BJ7X9P1W....
2x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 C36 clocked at 5400 MHz: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/69684329, with Amazon purchase reference: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-VENGEANCE-6000MHz-Compatible-Computer/dp/B0BZHTVHN5/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2....
Please understand that OMEN gaming PCs are rather finnicky when it comes to RAM and especially with regards to achieving max RAM performance.
Your experience may differ.
