Ram Compatibility and Not Adding Too Much

Deezy333 · ‎10-30-2020

I was trying to upgrade my ram. If I understand correctly I have a OMEN by HP 880-068. I have 3 16GB 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance and I was wondering if these were compatible with my motherboard probably not all 3 but hopefully 2. I haven't been able to find much information about it online. Lemme know not trying to go thru any PC issues, I couldn't find any info about my motherboard unless I'm just missing it. Thanks in advance.

The specs of your machine:

It uses DDR4 (or PC4-19200 (DRR4-2400) RAM and each slot supports 8GB max therefore your 16GB 1600Mhz (I think they are DDR3 or PC3) won't fit physically and won't work logically.

Ok, so basically I would need to get 8gb Ram sticks instead of 16gb if I wanted to get a upgrade like that. Quick question then how many slots do I have for Ram upgrades? I would just get enough to fill the cabinet. I just really wanna find a way to beef up the GPU if possible. Thanks in advance.
