Omen 17-cb0080nr RAM upgrade question

[Papppy]

Hello all,

I have an Omen 17-cb0080nr and would like to upgrade the RAM.  Has anyone successfully upgraded a 17-cb0080nr to 32gb or 64gb of ram?

If so what were the specs on that ram?

I ran the crucial ram app but get the "Well this is embarrassing" message.

I have tried the Hyper X HY426S15IB2K2/32

If I put them both in the laptop loops to blue screens

One stick at a time will boot (Both work)

System is an Omen 17-cb0080nr / Intel I7-9750H / Nvidia RTX 2070 / 16gb DDR266 RAM / 512NVMe / 1TB SSD / with 330 watt power supply

Thanks in advance,

Pappy

Hi:

I ran the Crucial memory report for your model and got a valid report.

Max is 2 x 32 GB of PC-2666 memory.

First - Thanks Paul!

I am grateful and very pleased with this info

Probably going with the 32gb Ballistix kit from that list

You have made Pappy - Happy!

Again, Thanks Paul

Sincerely,

Pappy

If you're happy, I'm happy, Pappy.  😊

Paul,

The RAM arrived today, I installed it and it worked great.

I play Lord of the Rings Online so that was the final test and I played for about 2 hours.  The Omen performed flawlessly!

Thanks again,

Pappy

Does the BLS2K16G4S26BFSD run @2666MHz? 

My Omen 17 does not use the XMP profiles and the BLS2K16G4S26BFSD does not have a 2666MHZ JEDEC profile. User reviews on Amazon are stating it only runs @2400Hmz without XMP.

Colin,

cpu-z confirms what you have stated

It's running at

2400-16-16-16-2T

Not sure how that equates to 2666-18-18-18-T2 or 2666-19-19-19-T2

Or 2666-19-19-21-T2

I do feel HP should give us more control in the OMEN's BIOS. 

Sincerely,

Pappy
