It's more about having same (ram) chip, rather than brand, so clocks/timings/voltage is identical.

You usually want to use sticks that were matched and came as a kit, but as long as you can find an identical one it should be fine.
Tried amazon? I bought a second kit (identical model and specs) to add to an existing kit, and it works fine.
But then again intel is usually a bit less sensitive when it comes to ram.
