Hello guys!

Now I'm just getting into RAM business today so I dont really know alot other than the research I did today.
So I've got a Hynix 8GB H5TQ8G83MMR DDR3 1600 - 12800 PC3
And my friend's over at the US where its cheaper so I've asked him to pick me up another 8GB stick.
I read online that its best to get the same exact stick for the best result but unfortunately I cant find this stick at Newegg nor Amazon.

So I need your help at finding a stick that would be as close to mine as possible for the best result.
My CPU-Z RAM Specs: http://puu.sh/mlSP3/1922a796ee.png

Now Im using only 1 slot out of 4 to a max of 32GB RAM my motherboard allows, but I'd still like to get only one other 8GB of RAM.


I'd really appreciate the help!
 

psoohoo

most hynix modules are sold to OEMs so you probably wont see them in retail packages.
If you really dont want to replace it with two 8s and you want to be sure that you have identical pairs, then i suggest you check on ebay with the exact part number to see if someone is selling it.

Replacing it will cost twice as much as I want to spend hehe..
But Im not saying I only want identical pairs, if you guys think that having stuff that are similiar is also okay without it causing me problems (I play alot of games), I just dont know enough on the subject to know if it'll be problematic or not.

Edit: Can anyone tell me why a single stick of Hynix 8GB DDR3 RAM costs 89$ while a pair of G.Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3 costs (together) 75$?
If it really costs that much I'll just buy the new pair since it costs less than what I originally thought, but the pricing of both seem so off.
Can anyone light some sense into this please?
