are they both in your system right now?

 

share your specs, best through pcpartpicker.com, so that we can give some advice based on what you're using.

Are the timings the same? If so, you can plug and play.

You can try to enable X.M.P. but if the timing on the 2 sticks are different there's the possibility your board won't like it.

Usually it says it on the side of the stick. On the (usually) white sticker. 8-8-8-24, 9-9-9-26, etc.

Read the stickers on each module. If the timings (xx.xx.xx.xx etc.) and the frequency (xxxxMHz) are the same, they will be compatible.

Make sure you quote us so that we can see your responses

 

You accidentally shared the default link, you should share the permalink instead, which is at the top of the parts list.

 

I believe that motherboard is an ITX motherboard, so you really only have to install both dimms and make sure XMP is enabled in the BIOS. Not much configuration you can do past that.

Yeah, looks pretty simple. Both dimms in both slots, enable XMP, you should be done. The motherboard might default to CL9 if the slower dimm can handle it, but even if they both do 1600 CL11, the dual channel advantage is what really makes the difference.

when you install the second module, XMP might disable itself, so you'd have to do it after.
