First off, I know... Shoot me in the face for asking this question, but I genuinely am struggling to find the answer that addresses each of my issues. I'll keep it short.
MOBO: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Old RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile Desktop Memory Model BLS8G3D1609ES2LX0
I can't find that exact RAM anymore since it is a few years old. I wanted to add 8GB to take it up to 16GB, but now I'm trying to match everything to make sure it is compatible. My issues:
- If I can't get the exact same RAM, do I just need any RAM that has the same timing, latency, and voltage? The speed and brand can differ?
- Any recommendations for RAM that would be compatible with the old RAM I listed above? I'm having a hard time finding 1.35v that matches everything else.
- Any pros/cons to adding two 4GB sticks with the old 8GB stick?
Sorry for the lamest question ever. If anyone can help it is greatly appreciated!
