upgrading ram to 16gb will this work?

right now i have this ram installed on a asus m5a97 r2.0 motherboard with a amd fx 8350

and they dont sell the exact ram that i already have so would i be able to install this 8gb kit along with the one i already have?

yes it will work though when turning on XMP you many need to lower speeds to one of the following:

• DDR3-1866 CL10-11-10 @1.5V

• DDR3-1600 CL9-10-9 @1.5V

• DDR3-1333 CL8-9-8 @1.5V

 

as your corsair kit is:

  • Speed: 1866 MHz
  • Timing: 9-10-9-27
