BIOS Advanced Settings Missing

[vein]

Hey, I got 16 new GB rams which are ddr4 where the default speed is 2133 MHZ. I tried to go to the advanced setting in the bios to put it up to 3200 MHZ which is what my PC is originally supposed to run at, but noticed the advanced setting itself is missing. I tried to look around for info, but the only notable thing i found out was this message. "that is because your manufacturer has locked the settings on your computer as the improper use of the Advanced settings in BIOS could damage your computer" 

I don't know what to do, Can somebody help me solve this problem?

Hi @vein 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

Your PC's BIOS does not support memory overclocking.

You would have to buy specific memory modules which will overclock to 3200. @NonSequitur777 can provide acceptable memory for your MB which will run at 3200.

Don't mix memory modules from different manufacturers. It is also good to buy a memory kit when upgrading memory to get the best results.

@vein,

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

Unfortunately, your gaming PC as fitted with the HP Oasis motherboard (SSID: 886B), is indeed very finnicky when it comes to selecting RAM for achieving max RAM speed.

To illustrate this, this link showing HP System OMEN 25L Desktop GT11-1xxx User benchmarks, makes it very apparent that your desktop accepts very few RAM sticks which will achieve 3200 MHz.  The problem is that XMP-configured RAM, such as Corsair and G.SKILL, will get stuck at their default or SPD speed, such as seen here when a User mixed stock and Corsair RAM together:

Here is a complete listing of the RAM running at 3200 MHz -and preferably do not mix RAM as @Bill_To mentioned:

Kingston HP37D4U1S8ME-8X 2x8GB or 4x8GB
Kingston HP37D4U1S8HD-8X 2x8GB or 4x8GB
Kingston HP37D4U1D8HD-16X 2x16GB
Kingston KF3200C16D4/16GX 2x16GB
Kingston HyperX DDR4 3466 C19 (KHX3466C19D4/16G) 2x16GB

This is it.  I'm afraid that if you want to increase your RAM, you'll probably have to reach deeply into your wallet.
