[SOLVED] Ram upgrade question

[mat1995]

Hello

I currenlty own a crucial 2666mhz 1x8gb 16 18 18 1.2v
I´m searching for another stick and i´ve found a hyperx
The new stick has the same voltage and timings as well as frequency ( both 8gb too)
The site does not listen the rest of the timings but it says that the hyperx is cl 16
Will they work fine or am i prone to instability?
I plan to run them on stock settings
My motherboard is a tuf b360 gaming plus
I could not find another crucial so i´ve found this one instead
Is there something else i´m missing or this will work fine?
Thanks

If the timings and voltages match you could try it, but for 100% stability you should buy a matched pair.

Even if you buy the exact make model there is a risk of issues. Usually ok but there is a possibility of issues. This is why RAM is sold in matched kits.

It is hard because the exact same model as mine is difficult to find
I don´t want to sell this one since crucial is good but idk now
Is it worth the risk? Should i look for a crucial similar model at least?
I can wait for other crucial model but identical as mine i can´t find anymore
Thanks
