Hi Self Hosting Lemmings!

I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my 3-node proxmox cluster and could use some advice. I have 3 HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini PCs that claim to support up to 32GB of RAM. However, I would really like to upgrade to 2x32GB for 64GB total.

Is it possible to run with more RAM than the recommended amount? If so, are there any problems I might run into? Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks!

It may or may not work, unfortunately.

I successfully ran 2x32GB in a Dell XPS 15 that "didn't support" it, because the larger DIMMs didn't exist at the time it was designed and documentation was done up.

It's not going to hurt to try, but if you have two DIMM slots it's worth a shot; the slots are already wired up to address lines! Maybe try with one first?

Edit: the CPU specs say that it supports 64GB and only up to two memory channels. It's looking pretty good on that end.
