Product: HP ProBook 430 G5 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello again!

 

This time I wanted to upgrade my RAMs on my HP ProBook 430 G5 (2VQ01ES#ABD) from 2x8GB to 2x16GB.

So I checked the tech specs of the ProBook and they say it will work with SO-DIMM DDR4 3200, so I bought two of them (Corsair Vengeance).

Changed them and booted up - ProBook recognized the change, asked me if it is OK to proceed - yes please - booted up but somehow slower than before.

 

So I checked the hardware with Speccy: says max bandwidth for RAM DDR4-3200 (1600) and recognizes at least the manufacturer, XMP extension.

 

Then did a UserBenchMark which brings up this information:

2 of 2 slots used, 32GB SODIMM DDR4 clocked @ 2400 MHz (!!!)
 Performing below potential (11th percentile) - ensure that a dual+ channel XMP BIOS profile is enabled

 https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54054368

 

When entering the so-called HP "BIOS" (with F10) and doing the system configuration checkup, it finds the RAM but says manufacturer: unknown...

How can you set RAM settings in this HP BIOS? Basically there are no options at all to set deeper specs than Language and Date/Time.

 

Would be great if someone could help, was so looking forward having full-speed 32GB... ☹️

 

Thank you!

OK... checked again the tech specs on HP page, now it says it is only supporting 2400 MHz...

I don't know where I got the 3200 from, but anyhow, shouldn't it work also just on lower speed?

Normally for business machines, you have to use same characteristics for the existing RAM. It MAY accept higher speed RAM but only runs at lower speed

Thanks, then I think I have to live with it.

But anyway: regarding the BIOS, is this really what HP offers, or is there a way to get an "advanced" BIOS?
