Can i buy other type of memory?

[guilhermetrs]

Hello everyone!
I want to do an upgrade on my pc and buy more RAM, but i can't find the same model that i have right now (I live in Brazil).

So i was looking if i can buy ram from another brand and put in my pc, if it has the sames Latency i should be fine, right?
I find a memory that have the same latencies (9-9-9-24) but i can't find some memory that has the same voltage that mine (1.35V)
Should i just buy all new sticks?

This is the memory that i have;
G. Skill Ripjaws (Blue) F3012800CL9D-8GBXM
DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 4GBX2
CL9-9-9-24 1.35V

Thanks in advance!

Safest option is to not mix sticks, especially if you can't find same ones. And certainly you should not mix sticks with different voltages, that gives a high probability of failure. So best option is to sell your 2x4 ram and buy all new one (2x8 I guess is what you want). Otherwise it's hit and miss game. But even with all new ram, you have to check if your CPU supports 1.5 V sticks first.

I have a i5 2500k
I just checked online and looks like that i can use 1.5V sticks.

Well, gonna save up a little bit more of money then buy new sticks. Thanks for the answer!
