not the best options, problably you will have compatibilities issues, for dual channel, ALWAYS buy the dual packs, like 16 8gbx2....always.

perhaps, perhaps not, you get lucky, or you don't. DDR2 it was possible to mix and match with some success, DDR3/4 it is far less likely.

In the best case will lower the frequency at 2133 both of them but is so bad combo to mix two frequencies. if u have 4 slots of ram maybe will work in slot 1 and slot 3 both of them but if u have only two slots does not worth trying, try looking the 2133 mhz version u already own it.

Sorry the new ram stick i want to buy is this https://m.newegg.com/products/9SIA85V4G26590

Giorgos_10 :

This one is compatible with yours. Have the same specs so it will work.

Lipex33 :

So it might work. That's all we can say, unless it is in a pack you'll not know until you try, might work on one mobo, and not on another.

Giorgos_10 · Oct 11, 2017

You tell me that i should buy the exact same one? With the same code name?

Lipex33 · Oct 11, 2017

In the second link you provided that u said this is the one u want to buy it tooks me to the same code and same product.

Giorgos_10 · Oct 11, 2017

No its not same the new ram i want to buy is the newest version of the ram i have but i dont know if it will run at dual channel (the ram i have is not in stock at my country)

At the risk of repeating myself. It may or may not work, the only stick that are guaranteed to work together in any way, come in a pack. Two individual sticks might work together in dual channel, might work together but only in different slots, might work together but leave you with odd crashes, or might not boot.

The best solution is to buy what you need at the start, the next best solution, sell what you have and buy a pack.

Than it just might work like 13thmonkey said. Try to buy a 2 x 8GB kit if u can and then u will be more relaxed and sure that will work.
