Hi.
My HP OMEN 880-005NS computer, bought in 2018 in PCcomponentse, came with a Hynix 8 Gb DDR4 1Rx8 PC4-2400T-UA2-11 memory module and the speed that it marked was 2400 Mhz.
To expand the memory up to 32 Mb, I bought in 2020 in PCcomponentes, and advised by a PCcomponentes technician, who knew what equipment I have, another 3 Hyperx 8 Gb DDR4 2400 CL15 modules.
When I add those 3 new ones to the motherboard, the RAM is correctly increased to 32Gb, but the speed drops to 2133Mhz. So to keep the speed at 2400 Mhz, I have removed the original Hynix module, leaving only 24 GB of RAM.
So I would like to know which of these three options do you recommend:
- Option 1:
Keep the 24 Gb as it is, with the 3 Hyperx modules, and try to sell or auction the Hynix on Ebay, I guess for about € 20. I don't have another computer to put it on.
- Option 2:
Also keep the Hynix in the computer, the 4 modules together, and have a total of 32 Gb even if the speed drops to 2133 Mhz.
- Option 3:
Return the 3 Hyperx modules to the PCcomponents store as they are incompatible with the original Hynix module.
