Hi, I'm kinda new in these things and I'd like to have some questions answered.
Two years ago I bought a set of 2x4GB Corsair RAMs.
A week ago one of the sticks stopped working (I figured out which one with a memtest). I discovered that Corsair RAMs have lifetime warranty, but they would require me to send them both sticks.
The thing is, I don't have any RAM module to use while they have mine, and I need the PC for studying.
I decided to buy an additional 4GB RAM module to use in the meantime, that would double as an upgrade when the replaced RAMs would come back.
Now comes the question: Do I have to buy another RAM of the same type or can I use a different one? Corsair ones are more expensive, and saving some money would be nice.
Specs:
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4
RAMs that I already own: 2x4GB DDR3 Vengeance Blue Low Profile CML8GX3M2A1600C9B 1600MHz CL9
RAM that I'd like to buy: HyperX Fury Blue Series RAM Memory, 4 GB, 1600 MHz, DDR3
I'm not a native english speaker, I hope everything is clear.
