Product: HP Z2 Tower G9 Workstation Desktop PC (4Y0H8AV)

Hi i have the HP Z2 Tower G9 Workstation Wolf Pro Security Edition (86D08EA) - I have 4 Dimm slots, i want to fill them and get the best speed/most Ram possible into the tower.

I have read conflicting info as to what this tower can handle especially with the HP Bios.
I tried to install to the spec of the processor and all the Ram is being downclocked.


Ideally i need to know which specific ram i can buy to the most potential of the 4 slots in the machine, the processor and bios constraints.

I am currently running the included 32 gig ram with two additional 32's but they are downclocked on the MHz.

Can anyone help please ive got a lot of moneys worth of RAM to return so i can buy the correct stuff.

Thanks in advance

The maximum installed reported is 128 GB. That is 4 x 32GB.

 

See the link at KIngston Memory below for compatible memory modules for your laptop.

Be advised that all four memory modules need to be the same. Mixing them will have the module bandwidth downclocking result that you experienced

 

The bandwidth in MHz of the original; modules is the highest possible.
