OMEN 30L Desktop PC GT13-1000a (207P7AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Based on my Omen 30L model above, can anyone recommend a 32GB RAM kit that will work and run at least at 3200mhz (lowest latency preferred)?  Crucial upgrade has recommended some, I just want to make sure it doesn't default to lowest speed.  

 

Thanks

The crucial memory will default to what the BIOS accepts, regardless of the brand you choose.

 

That is the big downside of not having a DIY Gaming PC built on an enthusiast or gaming motherboard.

 

I have an MSI MPG 570 Gaming Pro Carbon WIFI mobo in my PC. It's BIOS gives me a far greater means of tweaking my memory. If I install faster compatible memory it will work.  Yours will not allow that.

Thanks for the quick reply.  That makes sense.  I've noticed the BIOS has no options for memory speed.  Maybe the key is making sure its lowest speed spec is at least 3200mhz so it defaults to that.

 

Thanks!
