And if you cannot find the exact match, don't worry, you can find random brand which have the same SPEED.

true, but don't the timings have to match too?

I know how to get into bios only from there on idk but. So if i am understabding it right i should go with the same or higher timings for best performance or does it not effect performance at all?

posted you a picture of where to find ram speed in taskmanager

just match the speed and dont worry about timings then as these do not seem much of an issue according to @SupaKomputa

yeah just use default / best performance, just make sure the memories are recognized, and the bios will handle it.

you can learn about timings later.
