Kingston HyperX Blu + HyperX Fury?

Jason Leblanc · Jun 11, 2014

Hello! I currently have one stick of 4GB 1600MHz of Hyperx Blu ram. Will a stick of Fury (same thing, 4GB 1600MHz) work with it? Thank you!

Probably, though no guarantee.

If you can't buy the EXACT same module, then you should at least get one with the same amount of memory, frequency and same CAS (i.e. CAS9). If the CAS isn't the same you may have a timing mismatch issue. There are other timings as well but CAS is the most important.

To verify:
1. Click "XMP" in the BIOS (if Intel. Use Auto/AMP or whatever for AMD). Then Save settings.
2. run MEMTEST for a full pass to confirm it's working www.memtest.org

You will have to change the Boot Order in the BIOS so the DVD or USB (as appropriate) comes first or you won't boot into Memtest.

Other:
I'm not sure what "XMP" or AUTO will do when you have different modules. Possibly default to the lowest frequency (i.e. 1333MHz). This may even depend on the motherboard BIOS used. So there's a good chance you will have to MANUALLY change your settings (frequency, and possibly timings) to get the best results. Again, repeat Memtest any time you change settings.

Okay, thanks! the amount of memory and the frequency is the same. I'll be looking for the CAS tought.

XMP is programmed by the packaged stick or set of sticks in the package, at 1600 it will prob be fine, if they work together, if they don't give me a shout, it's generally (but not always) fairly simple to get a pair to work with minor voltage/timings adjustments
