Hi, I have 2 sticks of 4 GB RAM in my computer (Kingston HyperX Genesis KHX1600C9AD3K2/4GB) and I want to add 2 extra but you can't buy those sticks anymore.
so i was wondering can i put in 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX FURY Blue Series 4GB or 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX FURY Black Series 8GB into my computer without problems?

Thanks in advance

Anytime you mix two packages of ram even if the same exact model you can't guarantee they will work together at advertised speed/timings. Usually a little extra voltage and looser timings will allow them to but not always. Only way to know is to try but go into it knowing they may not play well together
