Laptop RAM latency

[itsGRAF]

Hello,

I know that on this laptop ( 491L9EA ) which exact name is  '' HP Omen Vanellope 21C1 Ryzen 5-5600H AMD Radeon RX6600M 8 GB VRAM 16 GB DDR 1 TB FHD 16.1'' Laptop Mica Silver ''   RAM can be upgraded and  Crucial does have compatible for it :

as well as Kingston:

but my question is that these only suggest CAS Latency 22, will it be ok if I use CL 20. AND will it use full power of it? for example I was considering this upgrade:

P.S this Kingston Fury Impact is also AMD compatible:

problem is that Kingston does not have it in compatible list, nor Crucial have CL 20 😞

Stick with the stock CL=22 modules. HP Notebooks are not designed to benefit from performance or gaming memory. Best case it will run at stock OEM speeds; worst case the laptop will not boot up.

Thank you very much,

then as you suggested I will stick with Crucial CL 22:

I just need this laptop for home use even not work and sometimes play in either RDR2 or destiny but not longer period of time then 2 hours. that is why I thought I needed to change RAM. do you recommend changing ram in this situation at all?

No. 16 gb of memory is sufficient for the use you describe. HP provides memory with its computers that runs at the fastest speed the motherboard can handle. The only reason to change out the original memory would be to add capacity if you were doing something where 16 gb is not enough. Almost nobody does. Examples would be heavy video processing, CAD, Code assembly. Gaming is actually only moderately memory intensive; it relies on the power of the video card.
