Hi community

I've this ram on my rig (desktop): http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-1600MHz-Non-ECC-KHX1600C9D3B1-4G/dp/B0057Q4AGW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385669315&sr=8-2&keywords=4gb+1600mhz+ddr3 , I want to add more ram but I cant buy this same memory cause is 2 expensive now, so Im wondering which one of the following ram memories should I buy:

1. http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-PC3-12800-240-Pin-BLS4G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006WAGG14/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1416960107&sr=8-6&keywords=cl9+4gb+ram

2. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-1600MHz-DDR3/dp/B00J8E92R6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1416964436&sr=1-1&keywords=hyperx+4gb+ram+1600mhz

The first one have the same specs as the one I already own but its a different brand, so Im not pretty sure if it will perform the same as the kingston. And the second one has a different cas latency (CL10 vs CL9).

Thanks in advance

They may not work at all, leaving you to RMA the new or return it. Often you can make slight voltage or timing adjustments to get them to play together, of the choices above though, the current DRAM operates off XMP and for example the Fury line doesn't use a XMP profile, it runs off PnP (Plug and Play) and will want to run at it's settings only. If going to try would go w/ the Crucial, and if any problems give me a shout


What kind of problems could I have with 2 different memories? are them noticeable?
 
Actually, my friend is using G.Skill Sniper 1866 and HyperX fury 1866 RAM, and it works fine. I'd recommend testing before buying, as it's usually different from user to user.
The problems possible:
-could not boot
-could boot,but constantly crash
