I was going to buy another RAM stick,before i noticed this small detail....

CPU Z shows my RAM is PC3 10700 ,but RAMMon shows that its PC3 10600

In the market,i can only find PC3 10600 RAM,so will it work with my existing RAM stick????

My RAM- SK Hynix DDR3 1333MHz 4GB

Mobo-DH55PJ

CPU-i3 540

Apart from using CPU-Z to identify ram sticks, you should also look at the sticker that's on the side of the stick of ram. Pass on images to the stickered information. We can work forward from there.

If you can, buy the exact same stick of ram or buy two sticks of ram(a kit) that come from the factory matched. I've worked with the board, mind you, it's very nitpicky about what rams you put in it. You could look at Mushkin's Blackline's or Redline's. Preferably the DDR3-1333/1600, 1.65v kit.

You do indeed have PC3-10600. CPU-Z shows only the half of it because DDR RAM like the names says - Double Data Rate - can transfer twice as much data on one I/O bus clock, than the actual IO frequency which CPUZ shows. and it runs at 1334 (2x667) to be exact
You have 1333 DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM.
The RAM itself runs at 666MHz, but because it is "double pumped" its equivalent data rate is twice that, hence 1333MHz.

Nope,there are no stickers.
I guess this manufacturer sold it without any stickers...
I just see Zion Dynamic RAM written here along with 4GB 1333MHz
