Kingston Hyper-X Genesis Upgrade Compatibility

[salvador242]

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM from 8gb to 16gb. I already have an 8gb Kingston Hyper-X Genesis kit installed, and was wondering whether these RAM kits are compatible in my system:

Other RAM: http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KHX16C9T3K2_8X.pdf

Other relevant system specs:
Intel Core i5 4670k
Asus Z87-K Motherboard

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately mixing RAM is a crapshoot and commonly mixing two different kits of RAM leads to incompatibility issues. However some people have gotten it to work, it's a gamble. I'd recommend just buying a new kit of 2X8GB RAM.

+1 Not a good idea to mix, no guarantees, if you do try and have problems, give a shout, we could try voltage/timing adjustments 😉
