Hey everyone.So i am new to the forum and not native english speaker so excuse my writing.

So i built a system a year ago with a ryzen 5 1600 and one 8gb stick from hyperx.(This exact one right here https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C18FR2_8.pdf)

And now that i have some money spare i wanted to upgrade to 16 gb with another 8 gb stick and i dont seem to find the exact same model nowhere.Neither in my local stores in Greece nor at ebay,amazon etc...The closest i found is this one (https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C16FB3_16.pdf).
But they dont have the same timings (ignoring the fact that they dont even look the same and my pc is going to look crap ?

What should i do here?
Thank you all.

Your english is fine, much better than my Greek.

As long as the timings are very close, then I would not worry, RAM is flexible when it comes to settings, provided they are very close to each other in specifications.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

So the ram I have has CL 18 while the "updated" one has CL 16 and same frequency of course.Should that be ok?

That will be fine, unless you are doing extreme overclocking, you will not notice the difference.

As an aside, I *did* find a matching RAM stick, but you wont like the price! ?

EDIT

Here is a chart showing the differences in speed from CAS numbers

If you can physically determine the speed difference, you are a better person than I am!
