HyperX Fury + Savage combination works?

[rahul.gaming29071990]

I have Kingston HyperX 8GB 2133Mhz Fury and planning to upgrade with another 8GB of Ram.
Recently I checked on internet and found that there is another version from Kingston as SAVAGE.
So is it fine to buy SAVAGE 2133Mhz and add in with my FURY? Will this combination work?

Mixing & Matching modules can be tricky, depending on a variety of factors.

Assuming the same speed & timings, there's a good chance it'll just "work", but it's not guaranteed.
The best route to ensure compatibility would be to sell the 1x8GB you have and buy a 2x8GB 'kit', sold together in retail packaging.

To be doubly sure, you can double check that any specific kit appears on the QVL for your motherboard. More of a concern for 1st Gen Ryzen (rather than 2nd Gen or an Intel platform), but still.

So if I am having single stick of 8GB HyperX FURY, either I will have to buy same stick of 8GB or have to sell my existing stick and buy pairs of SAVAGE. is this what you sound?

Even adding another stick of FURY is not guaranteed to work (although there's a good chance).

Matching speeds, size & timings gives you the best chance - even the same modules (not sold together) can have sligth variations.

Either find as close to a match of your current module as possible, or sell the FURY and buy a 2x8GB kit - doesn't have the be SAVAGE or anything, but if those are what you want then yes, buy them.
