Upgrading RAM

[BrettF28]

Looking to upgrade RAM to my desktop (Omen 30L desktop GT13-0093, 10th Gen Intel Core-i9 10900K).  Currently has  32GB (16 GB x 2)  HyperX DDR4-3200.  Has room to add another 32GB, which it needs.  However this same RAM is no longer avail.  Any suggestions?  I know ebay sells these used but I am skeptical.  HP has one but its at 3733 MHz, and I need 3200.

Greetings @BrettF28 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

You must be doing some heavy duty computing if you need 64 GBs of memory. I'm happy using 32 GBs of memory.

Running four sticks of memory on most modern MBs can be a challenge. Mixing different memory modules usually results in undesirable outcomes.

I only run two sticks to avoid compatibility problems.

User Benchmark lists 6,094 GT13 PCs.

I checked a random sample of about 20 PCs at User Benchmark. I saw many HP PCs using HP branded Kingston memory modules at 32 GBs (2x16GB).

User Benchmark would be the best place to find GT13 PCs using 64 GBs of memory. 

@NonSequitur777 may have additional memory upgrade suggestions.

Sorry, I can't look at 6,094 PC configs at User Benchmark to check for a GT13 PC using 64 GBs of memory.

However, This User at User Benchmark was doing four identical 16 GB HP branded Kingston memory modules. Scroll down at the above link to check memory specifications.

@Bill_To,

My recommendation for the OP is to order two identical 16GB HP-branded Kingston HP32D4U8D8HC-16X 3200 MHz RAM sticks.  Like you said, it is preferable not to mix RAM.

And it looks like there aren't many purchase options available.  Personally, I have had overwhelmingly positive experience ordering via eBay, both domestically and via PRC Sellers -and I order a lot of stuff all the time.

So, this is where I would buy the aforementioned RAM if I were in the OP's shoes, so to speak: https://www.ebay.com/itm/177084310995?_skw=Kingston+HP32D4U8D8HC-16X&epid=20051120520&itmmeta=01K0ZC....

Thank you for the info!  Yes I am usually running Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and some of my images are very large and the process slows down.  When I pull up task manager it shows like 96% of memory in usage.  That is why I was looking at upgrading the RAM.

Thank you for your response!  I did end up buying through ebay.  I was looking at the one you suggested, but I ended up getting a pair of HyperX from Crucial Direct Store (https://www.ebay.com/itm/395362075556).  Seller has really good feedback and customer service so I felt ok with that purchase.  I appreciate you telling me you have had good success with buying on ebay.  Helps keep my mind at ease.  Again, thank you!

@BrettF28,

You're welcome -and if you don't mind, please report back after installing your new RAM because @Bill_To and I would like to know how well your HP-branded and the Kingston HyperX Fury work together!

Kind Regards,

Interestingly, if I'm not mistaken, my Omen came with the HyperX Fury!
