[SOLVED] RAM (Different Brands)

[ezrare123]

I am planning to buy a (2x8) 16gb RAM.

Currently I have Kngston (1x8) 8gb 3000MHZ CL15 RAM but it is already phased out on our market.

Please tell me what RAM can I buy that will complement my RAM so my current RAM wont go to waste.
What are the factors to consider when buying different brand of RAM

Thank you!

simple answer? don't mix RAM.
Just get a new kit.

Use https://www.pcpartpicker.com to find a RAM kit that suits your needs for the right price online.

That link is for the US site.
For other countries use the country letters prior to the address like so:

Canada
https://www.ca.pcpartpicker.com

UK
https://www.uk.pcpartpicker.com

Dutch/German/surrounding areas
https://www.de.pcpartpicker.com

Spain/surrounding area
https://www.es.pcpartpicker.com

Etc. etc.

Unless you can get the same identical module, I wouldn't try it. And since this is ddr4 even that is a risk.
