What RAM is compatible with my system: HP M01-F.... Mainboard Baker 8768

[allthatcores]

Hello, 

the onboard module is one 16 GB Module 16ATF2G64AZ-3G2J1 Crucial, I want to upgrade to 32 GB. 

Can I also use Samsung? And can  I install two 32 GB modules? Than I will think about installing  64 GB. 

Is this compatible? 

Crucial Ballistix MAX RGB 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-4400 Desktop Gaming Memory (Black) | BLM2K16G44C1...

I found the ram above here in the forum:

What RAM is compatible with my system? (HP Pavilion Gaming D... - HP Support Community - 8023974

The board also offical supports 32 GB from two 16 GB modules. Two 32 GB modules are recommended  in the linked forumpage

Thanks for your attention 🙂

@allthatcores,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Do you mind filling in the blanks -actually the dots: HP M01-F....

@allthatcores,

Reason why I asked for this clarification is to make absolutely sure that your Baker(MS) motherboard can handle 2 x 32GB (64GB total) of DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM sticks.

I am going to assume that you got, say an HP Desktop M01-F1063wb or equivalent.  As per https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/hp-m01-f1063wb, I can confirm that you can.

The Micron 16ATF2G64AZ-3G2J1 16GB RAM stick you got is rated at 3200 MHz, but likely down-throttles to 2933 MHz as per: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06678632.

If you are interested in 2 x 32GB, I would recommend the 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3200 MHz Crucial RAM Kit, with p/n: CT2K32G4DFD832A.  Check out the Crucial site, Amazon, as well as Newegg, because sometimes you can get this RAM kit cheap(er).

Btw, if you decide to add a 16GB RAM stick in your second empty RAM slot, it is strongly recommended to pair your existing RAM stick with an identical RAM stick.

Hope this was helpful.

@allthatcores,

And with regard to your Crucial Ballistix RAM question, the theoretical RAM speed of this über-fancy looking gaming RAM is 4400 MHz (or beyond, but that is another story), but its SPD (Serial Presence Detect) is set at 2933 MHz, which in your case wouldn't matter, because that is the max RAM speed your motherboard/RAM will allow you to go anyway. But why spend a lot of money for RAM speed capabilities which you can't take advantage of on your desktop?

Same story with other so-called gaming RAM.  Many of these particular branded RAM sticks may be advertised to run, say at 3200 MHz, but their SPDs will default the RAM to run at lower speeds -2133 MHz for example, unless you have BIOS access to XMP (doubtful on many HP desktops) to manipulate RAM speed, there's absolutely nothing you can do to improve the RAM speed.

32 gb, are rarely used in most cases, then 64 gb, even less..
are you sure you need all that ram ?
It might be better to change other components if not already done

Can server ECC ram be used with this motherboard? 

I remember getting conflicting responses from Crucial and I believe Kinsgton in regards to similar HP desktop 2017 model. 

don't know who to trust. 

The only reason I'm looking at server modules - they are a lot cheaper on eBay 🙂

Thanks.
