I'm upgrading the Ram on my 8300 Elite SFF and I just realized I ordered ECC and not Non-ECC. Will this cause an issue or am I safe?

@BKF-Tech,

 

Welcome to our HP Community Forum!

 

ECC RAM will not work in your HP Compaq 8300 Elite SFF.

 

You can install up to 4 x 8GB of DDR3 PC3-12800, 1600 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, DIMM (UDIMM), 240-pin RAM sticks.

 

Kind Regards,
