Mixing same brand ram with different MHz

[ultramcreeper]

So my pc has a 8gb HyperX Fury 2133 Mhz and I want to buy a 8gb HyperX Fury 2400 MHz because for some reason it's cheaper in amazon.

Will I run into any problems like crashes? My motherboard only has 2 slots for ram.

It could potentially not boot at all. The best thing to do is sell your current single stick and buy a 2x8GB kit.

Just try it out. If it doesn't work just return it. Odds are it will work fine. I mix and match RAM all the time. Never had a problem.

Also Kingston is an independent memory manufacturer. There is less cause for concern about compatibility. If you had some third party RAM like Corsair. Using a hodgpodge of parts from a variety of manufacturers. There is more cause for concern about compatibility.
