RAM compatibility

[Zuputmer]

Hi,

I bought the acer nitro 5 with the i7 8750h and the gtx1050Ti. It came with the 8gb ddr4 2666mhz hynix single rank module which is shown here. I am now looking to upgrade my ram with another 8gb, and in india this module from ADATA is about 1000 rupees cheaper while offering the same specs. Can i opt for the ADATA module? Are they both interchangeable? How does adata compare to hynix in terms of quality? Will i still be able to run at 2666mhz with two modules from different manufacturers?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

They will be compatible, but for maximum compability, select that have the most speed & similar chip (hynix).

Even if they're not the same, should work.

Hynix doesn't make memory modules (CMIIW), they made the chip, usually third party OEM does that.

Memory modules usually very durable, for any brand, as long it's not DOA / Factory defected, it would last a very long time.

Just wondering, what exactly do you mean by "maximum compatibility"? Since both modules run at 2666 Mhz, they will be completely compatible, right?

Maximum compability as in it wont have a problem.

When both memory are 2666 it will run 2666 no matter what the brand.
