Compatible HP Pavilion DDR3 upgrade

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs built for HP Pavilion 500-097, 500-149, 500-152Ea and 500-164 desktops. The modules run at DDR3 1600 with CL11 timing at 1.5 V. They install directly into the 240-pin slots to raise total memory toward the 32 GB board maximum.

Suits owners of the listed Pavilion models

Buyers with those exact model numbers gain a guaranteed match backed by the supplier's compatibility pledge. Systems needing ECC, registered modules, or a different DDR generation cannot use this kit. Machines outside the four named models should verify support before ordering.

240-pin DDR3 1600 non-ECC DIMM

The decisive spec is the 240-pin DDR3 1600 unbuffered non-ECC form factor; only boards accepting that exact module type will work. The kit delivers 16 GB in a 2x8 GB layout using 2Rx8 chips at CL11 11-11-11. Confirm your motherboard takes this configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs fit the four memory slots on my HP Pavilion 500-097?

Yes, each 8 GB module is a standard 240-pin DDR3 DIMM and the Pavilion 500 series provides four DIMM slots, so the pair installs directly.

What is the correct order for seating the two 8 GB sticks so the system recognises the full 16 GB?

Insert the first module into the lowest-numbered slot (usually DIMM1), press firmly until the retention clips click, then repeat with the second module in the next slot; the common mistake is not pressing hard enough to latch both clips.

If I want to reach the 32 GB maximum later, what additional modules should I buy?

Add another matched pair of 8 GB DDR3 1600 CL11 1.5 V unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs to fill the two remaining slots and reach the 32 GB limit.
