Will these RAM work together?

[EdwardIIV]

Hi,
Sorry if the title isn't so clear, so let me elaborate. I started a thread not so long ago here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3320877/battlefield-ram-upgrade.html
In which I asked whether 12GB of RAM would make a difference compared to 16GB. After reading all the replies, I did some research to try and find a similar RAM stick to go with my current one.

I ended up finding my RAM type, brand, speed and latency, which are attached below. The brand isn't displayed but it's Kingston.

So as you can see, I have a single 8GB stick as of now, and am looking to add another 8GB, which leads me to my question; will the HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 RAM stick work with my current RAM?

Cheers!

Simple...yes, they will if your motherboard supports it. If the new RAM is faster then it will slow down to the same speed as the Kingston and vice versa.

How do I know whether my motherboard supports it or not? Sorry, I'm not too good with computer hardware, more of a software guy.

That meant if you have more than one RAM slot. Check that before buying RAM 😉

Oh yea, I have 2 RAM slots. I'd need more answers regarding whether it would work or not though, as I'm buying this off of an online website and I would assume it would be hard to return it if it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help!

 

[goerk27]

Yes, it will work.

 

[EdwardIIV]

Anyone else agree on it working? I'd appreciate any replies just to confirm.

 

[EdwardIIV]

Yes, it will work.

Sorry for the double post. I have a question, mate. How did you come to the conclusion that it would work, as I was told by the retailer, who I'm planning on buying the RAM from, that it wouldn't work.

Cheers!

By definition all DDR3 work together. Only if you want to achieve higher speeds, Double-CHannel, Triple-Channel-configs or OC/UC then you need to buy RAM with the same timings, Voltage etc. but otherwise they all work together.

 

[EdwardIIV]

Well, yes. I'd like to achieve double-channel. Would it work then?

 

[goerk27]

Yes, you may adjust the timings for the HyperX and up it to 11 if your mainboard is not doing that for you.

Alright thanks. I'll wait and see if there are any more replies before buying. I'm also going to try and find out my exact RAM model. Thanks for all your help goerk!

Alright, sorry for a second double post but I believe I may have found my exact RAM module, as seen here:

Could someone perhaps confirm this based on the data I have given before.
Thanks!

 

[EdwardIIV]

Alright. I ended up buying the exact same model to avoid any problems.

Cheers!
