Did i say that the fans arent really impressive either^^

Hmm https://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/memory/fury-ddr4?partnum=HX426C16FB3/16 80,- 

Typically they aren't for pre-builts. That and cheaper cases tend to get cheap fans as well. They also like to hide that behind RGB, as if that makes them perform better lol.

New 32GB kit from Newegg with better latency and reasonable pricing. $150

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820104863

I second this one.  It guarantees equality between the RAM sticks and you get the full 32 GB.  It also matches the motherboard defaults closely enough.

I really wish they published the memory QVL for this board to ensure full compatibility.  But Kingston is a large enough vendor that I'm pretty sure HP tested these chips.

It's got some CPU options listed, but nothin for RAM. Sticking with Kingston gives the best chance at compatibility though. Now there are kits that are quite a bit more expensive, that look closer to what kirby has now like the single 16GB stick for $282, which would likely mean an even higher likelihood of compatibility, but Kingston Hyper X in general should be fine. 

2x8 Newegg $152

2x16 Newegg $374

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820104749

These are quite a bit more expensive though and odds of these working and not the earlier Hyper X models I posted are fairly unlikely.

Ya let HP do some work.

Corsair Vengeance is pretty universal but again, no guarantee's. Board supports 2666MHz and that RAM is 3600 MHz, but no idea how high of an XMP profile it'll accept. If it does run, but won't accept the higher XMP, it'll just run stock at 2666MHz.

Saw someone asking about why their upgraded GSkill Flare 3200MHz RAM won't accept XMP on that same board, and it's probably because the board won't OC the RAM that high. Might go above 2666MHz a bit, might not.

I think that's literally the same model as your previous link.  Wait...there is a minor difference in model number.

HX426C16FB3K2/32
HX426C16FBK2/32

I checked the documentation on Kingston site and they are the same just slightly different heat spreaders.

This is the better options then:

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820104863

Same thing as my Team Vulcan RAM. It wasn't on the QVL, but was almost identical in part#, and ended up finding out it's just a new heat spreader. Worked just fine and was a little bit cheaper as well. The old heat spreaders looked a little better though, but were sold out. Oh well.

Ya might as well get the cheaper set then. Looks like I had $150 but it's $175. Not sure if the price changed that quick or I got it mixed up.

Your board will definitely downclock that RAM to 2666.  But for that price, it might be worth a go.  Check if they have a good return policy.  If they do, go for it and let us know if it worked. 

That Vengeance price ain't bad for it's XMP speed. Corsair is pretty popular and usually works. Most QVL's have Hyper X and Vengeance on them so odds are it'll probably work.
