Hi there, I'm not very experienced with upgrading, but I can help you with your PC. Your custom-built machine runs game development software, and the HP support page mentions compatibility up to PC4-21300. Your RAM options include PC4-21300U models. Check the compatibility list for those specific chips to see if they fit. If not, let me know which ones you're considering and I can point you to the right resources. Thanks!
The board features two memory slots and can handle up to 2666 Mhz. It also supports up to 8 GB per stick, though later updates indicate it can accommodate 32 GB using two 16 GB sticks. This change likely came after the introduction of 16 GB memory modules. You don’t need to stick strictly to 2666 Mhz; you can purchase higher frequency sticks, and the motherboard will adjust accordingly. Higher speed modules may be more affordable due to increased production and competition among brands. Your CPU won’t gain much from higher frequencies, so sticking to 2666 Mhz is fine. Even 2400 Mhz should work without issues, and you won’t notice the difference. The recommended sticks are 1.2v with CL16 or CL17 specifications. For example, Crucial Ballistix in the link operates at 1.35v, showing they tested 2400 Mhz chips and boosted them to 2666 Mhz safely. This maintains warranty coverage. If budget matters, the Corsair LPX offers good value for the price. If you’re after the cheapest option, this setup is viable too—around 64 euros.
