Question RAM 8GB/DDR4/2400MHz for my MSI gaming laptop

[bahukhandi.ayushmaan]

Hello TH experts,

I would like you have your guys opinion on Buying RAM 8GB/DDR4/2400MHz for my Gaming Laptop MSI - GL62M 7RDX.

I don't have much of a budget, maxed out with 3400INR. My available options are below.
--->> Kingston ValueRAM 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 Non-ECC CL17 SODIMM 1Rx8 (KVR24S17S8/8)
--->> HyperX HX424S14IB2/8 Impact Black 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 260-pin Unbuffered SODIMM Internal Memory Black
--->> Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) SR x8 SODIMM 260-Pin - BLS8G4S240FSDK (Gray)
--->> XPG Flame 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz PC4-21300 CL18 1.2V SODIMM RAM Memory Module for Gaming Laptops

Please Note: XPG Flame has 2666MHz - can this affect my current laptop with current 2400MHz RAM

I don't know if we are allowed to share links of the product in this forum.. but I had a look on this product in Amazon.in

Thnaks in advance,
Aydi

1)Mixing ram is always a gamble; they(the old and new sticks) might work together, they might not. There's no solid answer to this.

2)When mixing kits of different speeds, the faster one will clock down to match the slower, making them a waste of money.

Thanks for the reply sir....

I opened my laptop and checked the ram. It is Samsung M471A1K43CB1 CRC DDR4 2400 SODIMM 8GB but I'm able to buy only
Samsung M471A1K43BB1 CRC DDR4 2400 SODIMM 8GB

can this make a difference. The original fitted in made in Phillipines and the later i'm getting from China... should i go for it?

That tells us right there that the modules are from different batches.
I can only give you the same response as before: they might work, they might not. The safest method is a new 2 stick kit, but if that's too expensive, you're left with the ram lottery.
