I have a fairly old kingston hyperX KHX1600C10D3 single channel 8 gb stick, and i'd like to upgrade to 16 gigs, but they don't sell this exact model anymore and the only one that is similar is the HX316C10F/8 model.

 

Could i run these 2 different models in dual channel without any problems?

Theoretically you can mix any RAM and the board should make it all run at the speed of the slowest rated module

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)

If im correct the timings should be the same so i guess it can work then? Speed is the same its just a different model.

but the row cycle time is different, and CL(IDD) is different too (9 and 10) in the official kingston specsheet. I'm not smart in this area so i'm not really sure if these matter or not

 

I'm only getting this because the new half life most likely wont run well on a single channel ddr3 stick, and its a bottleneck in some games already
