New ram

[Haven_Alpha]

Hey, so I got a problem.

I have 8gb hyperx predator 3200mhz cl16, and I want another stick so I have 16gb and dual channel. But I can't find the same ram anymore. So I found this hyperx fury renegade, that looks the same just the text is different. They are the same frequency, the same latency, the same voltage.

So my question is, will they work together without any problems?

They could be the exact same model number and still have problems. They won't likely have problems, but the only way to guarantee it won't have issues is to buy a kit of RAM together, anything else is luck of the draw. Realistically, the odds are about the same to have issues with any 3200 CL16 kit whether it be from G.Skill, TeamGroup, Silicon Power, etc., so if you are just gonna add in another 8GB stick I'd buy whatever you can get the cheapest and make sure the place you're buying from has a decent return policy, but given how cheap DDR4 has become I'd recommend just buying a new 2x8GB kit instead and selling the 8GB stick instead just to make sure that it works.

In summary, it’s probably fine but wouldn’t be unheard of if it wasn’t.
