RAM upgrade for a HP OMEN 16-b1016ns & should I update

[showbis]

Hi to everybody, I have an HP OMEN 16-b1016ns with 16GB of RAM, which is insufficient for my usage. I am looking for compatible RAM options from well-known and reliable brands like Corsair, Crucial, or Kingston.

The only option provided by my Omen's seller was GSkill RipJaws DDR5 SO-DIMM 4800MHz 32GB (2x16GB) CL38. However, I would like to know what other RAM options are compatible with my model from these brands. Can anyone suggest the right RAM models I should consider?

On another completely new topic, I have a warning that keeps popping up regarding the update of Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics. According to Intel Arc Control, the installed version is 30.0.101.2079, released on 5/26/2022.

The warning states: "Warning: Installing this graphics driver from Intel will remove customizations from your computer manufacturer (OEM). If a newer graphics driver is available from Hewlett-Packard (HP), we recommend that you install that driver instead. To learn more about installing an Intel driver on your OEM system, refer to this article."

On the Intel page - Devices and Drivers, it says: "A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact Hewlett-Packard (HP) for the latest driver for your computer."

Can anyone assist me on both matters? The RAM upgrade is essential as my machine isn't built for such low RAM. And for the integrated graphics by Intel, I'm uncertain about what to do since there is no recent HP driver available.

Thank you in advance.

Well known and higher speed do NOT mean it is going to work. You need compatible RAM, ideally same manufacturer and/or same characteristics.

One of a reliable vendor which has a tool to check my machine and told me its compatible RAM (guarantee), I bought EXACTLY its recommended RAM but did not work on my machine. I used CPU-Z to see which is existing RAM and ordered a same stick from Amazon then bingo.

Note: My machine : HP 840 G5 which came with 8GB of RAM, now it has 16GB of RAM after the upgrade.

           

I still keep useless 8GB RAM which was recommenced from Crucial to remind me.

Hope this helps

Regards.

My issue with this is that on the best manufacturers they have RAM finders and I tried that.
I even tried contacting Corsair that asked me for more details

Crucial sent me straight up to HP by saying ask HP about it.

I just want a 2x16GB So-DIMM Ram, it is not like I want to renew my whole computer, so I really don't get why there isn't a clear answer to this. BRAND A/B/C and their models.

I will try again because this sound, looks and it is nonsensical to me 

I am attaching CPU-Z Screenshots from both Memory and SPD
and the other details Corsair wondered about.

the info I have sent to Corsair, at their request, was:

Motherboard

BaseBoard Manufacturer  HP
BaseBoard Product 8A13
BaseBoard Version 32.25

CPU

Processor   12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H, 2300 Mhz, 14 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)

Prefered capacity
32GB - 2x16GB
DDR5 SO-DIMM 4800 MHz

According to the specs it says it is CL38 but the Samsung RAM that came with it are 40 (check Picture attached)

HP OMEN 16-b1016ns

Can Isomeone guide me into options so that I can find a good quality/price ratio and upgrade this.
Because this one with 2 browsers with a few windows opened, Photoshop, and a word processor already gets to and I am looking now at 91% of RAM usage.

Thank you in advance

Can someone please help me out.

I really need to upgrade to 2x16GB RAM and no RAM Finder on any manufacturers give me the right choice ans when contacted they don't even reply or send me back to HP.

Thank you in advance

I am also looking to upgrade my RAM to 32gb.

Thanks
