Hello,
I bought a Hyperx Fury 2400mhz 16gb memory stick a year ago
and I'd like to buy another one, but the store that sells that stick in my area sells a different model
and i'd like to know if the sticks could work together.
this is the model of my current stick taken from CPU-Z :
Part Number: KHX2400C15/16G
and this is the model from the store:
HX424C15FB/16
is it possible to use the both together?
to clarify the Stick i'd like to buy now has the same name
HyperX FURY 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
but the model name is different.
Thanks!

and also another question
is it possible to use the same stick I have now and buy instead of the same model
Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
The reason is that if they don't have the stick I want in stock then I'd just buy this one
I am not looking to have 3000mhz performance I want to know if its possible to use the two together and get a minimum of 2400mhz performance out of them.

Hi nadav5553 :)

It's never a good idea to mix RAM kits even of the same spec. So you would be taking a risk.

DIMM Manufacturers bin modules to match the slight variations in Latency during manufacture, so mixing DIMM kits may work but very often don't.
It's even worse with kits of differing frequency and as you pay more for OC RAM it would seem a waste of money.

Do you have a need for more than 16GB. If you do (like for large CAD Rendering or Video editing) then it's worth buying a single kit for reliability alone.
Ask your RAM supplier if they will take them back if they don't work and that way you can test them.

well... too bad I didn't buy 2 kits when I could I just wanted to wait till I really needed it/price dropped a bit
but I guess ill just try to sell my kit and get 16x2 of 3000mhz model
and Yes I am doing heavy 3d rendering and video editing
but even for gaming/chrome use 16gb is not quite enough ^^
thanks anyways ^^
