Hello everyone.

I have 4gb of ram and I decided to put in one more kit since 4gb is not enough, so in total i want to have 8 gigs.

I currently have one kit of this ram : http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-16gb-single-module-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz4gx3m1a1600c9

It's Latency timing is 9-9-9-24, and I've found another kit of ram which is from different brand but everything else seems to be the same except the timing which is 8-8-8-24. The ram i want to buy is here : https://www.dabs.ie/products/crucial-4gb-ddr3-1600-mt-s-pc3-12800-ble4g3d1608de1tx0ceu-9K3P.html?refs=58280000-468490000-418700000&catid=15031&src=3

So if I'd put in this ram inside my system, would they work together well? or do I need to find the ram with the same timings? thanks.

I think this is something you have to try on your own because nobody can say for sure. From my own experiences, memory can be very picky, and a matched set would be desireable. I would save myself some money and potential headache by leaving things the way they are.
