Will RAM with CL17 work on a device that specifies CL22?

Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

More specifically, the HP T640 device.

The manufacturer declares compatibility with CL22 latency and 2400 MHz clocking. If I buy RAM with CL17 and 2400 MHz clocking, will it work?

Should work, at least as far as the latency is concerned. Faster ram can be accessed at slower speeds.

Thanks!

In my experience, maybe. Find out which motherboard it is and do more research before you spend the money. But an HP lappy, I'd guess no.

After looking up the device, put the money in a sock drawer, save it for something better.

Think you triggered the HP fans. God knows why they exist but here we are.
