OMEN 30L GT13-0090 Aftermarket Memory Upgrade to 64GB

[Doc7798]

I've read much about memory upgrades to 30L, but none about 64GB from 32GB. What RAM models are compatible?

Hi @Doc7798 

This model should have this motherboard and supports 64 GB of DDR4-3200 ram.

HP Desktop PCs - motherboard specifications, Dorado OC | HP® Support

• Dual channel (2 DIMMs per channel) memory architecture
• Four DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
• Supports up to PC4-25600 (DDR4-3200)
• Supports 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 64 GB (unbuffered) with 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit computers

  note: 

  Maximum memory shown reflects the capability of the hardware and can be limited further in the operating system.

Thanks for the info, I was looking for specific compatible products that support 3200MT/s, for example this one:

No, you cannot use memory with XMP profile, the BIOS is not compatible (you must have the option to set the frequency) and you will have problems with the memory frequency being under 3200. Use memory with CL 22

Thank you for your help!

You're welcome, happy to help

One more question. What does CL22 mean?

[resistencia]

CAS latency, which indicates the time it takes for the memory to respond after being requested for information. A lower CL makes for faster response times..

DDR4-3200 XMP memory usually has a CL16, but those are memories that must have XMP compatible BIOS. But the speed of a memory does not depend only on the CL but also on its frequency, for example in DDR3-1600 memory (old) the CL is 11 but this does not make the memory faster than a DDR4.
