I ordered Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4 x 32gb but am reading that not all RAM is accepted on Omen systems. Are these acceptable and will I be able to run it at its full speed?

I had/have similar problem/question:

 

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Desktops/HyperX-and-Kingston-FURY-conflict/m-p/9011704#M25003 

 

I contacted Kingston's support and they recommended to return the RAM I bought and send propositions with RAM sticks that they claim should be compatible... HP support will also recommend to not use RAM other than their specific HyperX that came with your Omen (which is not available to buy outside US... At least new ones), but on YT, reddit and wherever else you will find people that are running non-HP RAM without issues.

 

I myself was able to run on those Kingston's Fury Best without issues for 2-3 days, but I decided to return them... At least until my warranty runs out...

 

If you will install those Corsairs anyway, you're doing it at your own risk... HP put really strange restrictions in BIOS, especially regarding RAM, and especially regarding the fact that Omen desktops were supposed to suit the needs of gamers and PC enthusiasts...
