Upgrading Ram

[Armor32]

I have a HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0023w and am unable to find the QVL(Qualified Vendor List) compatibility list so I can upgrade my RAM. Currently there is just the 8GB stick that it came with which I found out is a Samsung brand. I'm not sure if this is compatible - TEAMGROUP T-Create TTCED432G32G3200HC16FDC01 Expert Overclocking 10L DDR4 32GB 3200MHz (PC4 25600) CL16 Desktop RAM Memory Module. I am also not sure if I will even notice a difference between a CL16 vs a CL22. Any suggestions?

Upgrading to 32GB should help. That Crucial 2x16GB kit is solid but check the motherboard can handle it. Swap it in carefully and there should be a nice performance boost.

From the HP pages, this was all i was really able to find in manuals,

Memory upgrade information

• Dual channel (1 DIMM per channel) memory architecture
• Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
• Supports PC4-21300 (DDR4-2666)
• Supports 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 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) on 64-bit computers

@Armor32,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Your HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0023w (6YR56AA) as fitted with the Erica motherboard (SSID: 8643) can be upgraded up to 2x16GB of DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM.

Based on actual HP System Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-0xxx Users as seen here, I would recommend any of the following 2x16GB matching RAM kits which will run at 3200 MHz -which is the fastest your PC can run any RAM -no, you don't have access to XMP RAM overclocking:

2x16GB Crucial CT16G4DFRA32A.C8FF
2x16GB Crucial Pro CP16G4DFRA32A.C8FF
2x16GB Crucial Ballistix BL16G32C16U4RL.16FE
2x16GB Timetec 78AP16NUSL1R8
