RAM issue

Loking for a hyperx 2666mz stick would work

You might have problem though if they aren't identical. It also may work fine. Won't know until you try.

Or get a dual channel kit of 2x8 or 2x16, depending on how much you want and your budget, and then sell that single 16GB stick.

- Supports PC4-21300 (DDR4-2666)

- Supports 8 GB and 16 GB DDR4 UDIMMs

- Supports up to 64 GB (unbuffered) with 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit computers.

A stick using those RAM part numbers isn't popping up very easily. Newegg has a stick with a slightly different part number but it's out of stock anyway.

Finding another identical stick may not be so easy.

I too just checked around and HP seems to have used a low performing batch of RAM from Kingston. Getting an exact match will be very difficult and perhaps event too costly.

Next best thing is to check the Memory Qualified Vendors List but I don't see one for this board.  Thanks, HP. 

Match the RAM specifications as close as possible from Kingston and hope for the best. 

Ya the latency is pretty high. That's HP for ya. Ok, but not great.

This might work but used. A 6 instead of 9 in the part number. Close, but how close really? $90

Single 16GB stick from Newegg, but no idea if it'll work together, and pretty expensive. $282
