Same brand memory but different specs

Anonymusius · May 11, 2016

Im planing to upgrade my ram's pc. I already have Kingston 2gb ddr3 pc1333 (kvr13n926/2) memory Im planing to buy Kingston 8gb 2133mhz Fury Blk hx421c14fb/8 memory. Do you recommend it?

Since the memory speeds are different, it is probably better to remove the existing memory and replace to this one.

Is that ddr4? not compatible with ddr3 motherboard.

NiCkS_91 · May 11, 2016

As rgd1101 said you should look at your motherboard specs, also to know what are the supported frequencies.

Where to look the specs of my motherboard?

That memory you want to buy is DDR4 it will not work.

On top of that the rule for mixing memory is, don't, because it many times wont work and you'll have wasted your money.

If you want to upgrade the ONLY thing to buy would be either replacement memory, or buy another set of the EXACT SAME THING, most likely it will work fine. Emphasis on most likely.

Rogue Leader :

Memory: 2x DIMMs, max 16gb, DDR3 1600/ 1333/ 1066MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory that's my motherboard specs for memory. My motherboard is H81M-D.

Anonymusius :

I suggest this

Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16 Go (2 x 8 Go) DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 Red

no compatibility issue at a good price

If you are buying from that shop and you want 8GB this is what to buy:

NiCkS_91 :

Can I mix it with Kingston 2gb ddr3 pc1333 (kvr13n926/2)? Or should I dispose it?

Anonymusius :

don't mix it, it very likely will run poorly if at all.

NiCkS_91 · May 12, 2016

Anonymusius :

don't mix it, but in any case you couldn't since your motherboard has only two memory slots, and is better to buy a pair of same memories which work in dual channel (like the 2x8 I proposed)
