Both part numbers are for Kingston memory.
I have KHX1600C10D3B1/8G (Kingston HyperX Blu) in my computer now, it defaults to 1333, but has timings and has been tested/rated at 1600.
I am getting HX316C10FB/8 (Kingston HyperX Fury Black) with my i5-4690k and MSI z97-gaming 5 motherboard.
Both are 8Gb modules and have the same timings for 1600, can I use both?
Will the memory be forced to run in single channel mode or will it run in dual channel mode?

PSU: XFX 850w
Graphics: XFX R9 270x 2Gb double dissipation
HDs: Intel 530 Series 225 Gb SSD, Toshiba DT01ACA050 7200rpm 500Gb 16mb cache HD

If they play together, then yes can run in dual channel, and if they play may have to set up manually as the HX Blue runs under XMP and the the Fury is PnP based opposed to XMP, basically it's a crapshoot, they might play and might not, if you try and have problems give a shout, we might be able to get them to play with minor voltage/timing adjustments
