Im not looking for the generic answer about the motherboard ArcticL or even about the HP omen 25L i see commonly on this forum. I am looking to upgrade my ram from the Kingston Hyper Fury 16gb that was included when buying this system. I have owned products by HP before that product being HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-0xxx and was told it would support ram up to 3200mhz but when i placed corsair vengeance LPX 32gb 3200mhz it places ram at 2133mhz and not what is advertised. Let alone i upgraded that ram as forums suggested that was going to be the best option for my pc and it did absolutely nothing but make it worse. So if anyone could actually point me in the direction of what true ram to buy to upgrade to 32gb for my OMEN that would be appreciated. Again NOT LOOKING FOR THE GENERIC COPY/PASTE. Looking for real answers.
EDIT: I am mainly talking about my OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop GT15-1xxx, My pavilion i still have and its still running at the 2133mhz and not 3200mhz. so i want to make sure my omen doesnt do the same if i place new ram in it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our HP Community Forum!
WHO for Pete's sake in this Community advised you to buy (gasp) Corsair Vengeance RAM??? Certainly not yours truly.
Your ArcticL motherboard (SSID: 8B1D) should be able to run DDR5 (PC5-41600) RAM at 5200 MHz, not just with a 125-watt K-series processor (such as an i9-13900K) as HP claims here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_7561705-7561749-16, but with any 13th gen Intel processor (such as the i7-13700F) as you can verify here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-OMEN-by-HP-25L-Gaming-Desktop-GT15-1xxx/304260.
You want 'real answers'? -Look no further than the RAM options sold by Crucial: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/omen-25l-gt15-1000.
Hope this was helpful.
