Hi,

My motherboard: asus z-87a
Current ram: 2x8GB with CL9-10-9 D3-1866 (1.5v) (DIMM) (max is 32GB)
I would like to add a 8GB but I cannot find anymore CL9-10-9 D3-1866 so I would aim for:
G.Skill 8GB RipjawsX DDR3 PC3-14900 1866MHz Model F314900CL10S8GBXL

Same manufacturer, same speed, same capacity and same years. Can you tell me please if it will work? Thanks.

If they are identical in every way, then yes they should work when paired.

Model F314900CL10S8GBXL
So your existing ram kit is this? The latter listing is also the same?

Just make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard before dropping in the latter ram kit.

Manufacturer matches (G.Skill), speed (1866), voltage (1.5v) and capacity (8GB). The only thing that seems different is L9 vs L10 but a benchmark website says the old supports 5 to 11. Not sure about non-ecc for both but since it's only error correction, it shouldn't matter.
