Hello, I want to add one more 8 Gb ram module for dual channel but I don't know what to choose. My laptop model is Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBN 80WK00Y9RI. I have this installed from factory: 8Gb Ramaxel RAMRMSA3260MH78HAF-2666 and I need one more for proper dual channel but I can't find any Ramaxel in my country. Also, I looked up for specifications on my laptop's manufacturer website and it says it only supports 2400Mhz so why does it really have 2666MHz installed ? 

Here are some informations from CPUZ:

Installed stick supports up to 2666, but it is running at 2400 (CPU-Z, Memory Tab, Timings section, DRAM Frequency).

 

Finding same memory is hard, especially since Ramaxel isn't very known manufacturer. What you can try is finding memory with same (or as similar as possible) capacity, frequency and timings. Some laptops are very picky about memory, so you'll have to hope for the best.
