HP Pavilion Laptop PC 15-eg0000 (172Z8AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I tried to upgrade RAM on the laptop.

 

I tried

SODIMM Kingston HyperX Impact [HX429S17IBK2/64] 64 GB (2x32GB) PC25600

and tried SODIMM Goodram [GR3200S464L22/16G] 16GB (2 pcs) PC25600

 

no luck. Laptop refuse to switch on after replacement.

It reports that laptop support up to 128GB of RAM

 

HwInfo says:

IT support up to 32Gb per channel (total 2 channels)

 

Please advice what modules I should use for upgrade. Thank you

Hi:

 

It is generally not a good idea to install gaming or high-performance memory in your notebook unless it came with that kind of memory, and most HP notebooks do not.

 

The high-performance memory has faster timing specs than the standard memory and since you can't change the memory XMP profile in the BIOS, there is only a 50-50 chance the memory will work.

 

I suggest that you use the standard Crucial memory bars supported for your notebook.

 

16 GB bar;

 

Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT16G4SFRA32A | Crucial.com

 

32 GB bar:

 

Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT32G4SFD832A | Crucial.com

 

You can buy this memory in Russia:

 

Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT16G4SFRA32A | Crucial RU

 

Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT32G4SFD832A | Crucial RU

Hi Paul,

 

Thank you very much for the links. I've ordered Crucial bars, will test in a couple of days.

Honestly, I was ready for this when I was buying Kingston Impact bars, but I didn't expect such from cheap Goodram bars. 

 

Thank you

You're very welcome.

 

Hopefully, the Crucial memory will work fine.

 

It indicates on the bottom of the two first links I posted that it is 100% compatible with your notebook.
