Just recently had a PC built for myself and It's everything I've ever wanted, I love it. I don't know a lot about PC builds, but I'm looking to get more RAM. Currently I have 16GB and I want 32. I have 2x Kingston FURY 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory. I'd like to buy two more but all I can find are ones with part # HX424C15FB2/8, and mine are HX424C15FB/8. What is the difference? And will these not work together? Like I said may be a dumb question, just don't want to ruin a good thing here.

I believe the FB2 (newer) are a slightly different make, it may be the Memory ICs being used....regardless even if you could find the same exact model number there are still no guarantees that another like set will even play with what you have - the manufacturers only guarantee full packages of DRAM to play as the sticks in the packages have all been tested to play together. As far as mixing packages, take a look at my FAQs and Fition articles - primarily Fiction, items 2 and 6 - links to both can be found here:
