[SOLVED] Bought exact same 2nd ram stick, has different frequency

[PlexeezDa]

english isnt my main Language so sry if something isnt correct.

So i have a HP Pavilion 17-ab303ng, and it came with 1x8gb ram and i searched up wich exact model it was and bought a 2nd stick.
The 2nd (new) ram stick works just fine but cpu-z shows me that it has a slightly different frequency than the first (stock) one.
I´ve read that if one of 2 sticks is slower than the other one, both run at the lower speed.

How can i fix this?

Its still all stock exept i bought a 2nd ram stick so i have 16gb
its a Samsung m471a1k43cb1-crc
I knew what ram it was according to cpu-z

Heres CPU-Z ram

Adding extra memory to existing memory has no guarantee to be compatible together, there are also no guarantees as to how it will operate if the PC boots up.

You can play around with whatever settings you have, but basically you have two modules that have never been tested together before.

Doesn’t matter, even the exact same make and model can have issues, it’s why RAM is sold in matched kits. Read the odd man out section https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...y-ram-and-xmp-profile-configurations.3398926/
