Question Mixing same brand RAM, will this work?

[kevakazi]

Hey, all I need a little help concerning RAM.

So I currently have 1 8GB of this https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX318C10F_8.pdf installed in my PC and someone has offered me another 8GB stick for cheap. Problem is its same brand just different colour case, that's the only difference I can see. https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX318C10FR_8.pdf

Would it be ok to run these both in the same system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

only way to know is to try it.

They are identical besides colour that i can see? Being the same timings, freq profile and voltage should increase chances but there's always a niggling doubt.

As said, won't know until you try.

I may just have to buy and try forthe price. Thanks for the help.

You probably already know, if not, if your motherboard has four dimm slots, check manual which slots to use for dual channel. Most likely 2nd and 4th slot from cpu.
