A year ago I built my own computer and now I am attempting to upgrade it a bit (by adding a second RAM module) but I have encountered a problem.

I used a 4GB, 1600MHz Kingston Hyperx Genesis which seem to be out of stock everywhere so I guess I'll have to buy a different one.

I have been researching online and, to avoid any risks, the 2 RAM modules I use should have the same specs (DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9, 1.65 V...). If you know how to solve my problem or know of a module I could use I would very much appreciate it.

If you need to know, my motherboard is an Asrock Z87 Extreme3.

Thank You

There are no guarantees when mixing RAM. It might work, it might not. Even with RAM of the same model and brand. To be sure it will work, you have to buy RAM in a kit.
