Matching Ram sticks ?!

[Lolcrokn]

Alright so in shop i can see Kingston 8GB variant of hyperx fury ram memory, it comes as 1x8 

Now very simple question ...

Can i match 2 of those together so i can get 16 gb ? 

I'm pretty sure i can but i still want to be sure

Yes you can. Although there is a VERY VERY small chance they won't work together. The reason you buy RAM in a kit is because the manufacturer validates they work together. But I really can't stress enough that RAM modules almost always work together -- it's fairly rare that you have an issue using two sticks that didn't come in a kit of RAM together.

If you get the exact ones it will work

I Myself run 4x2 red hyper x fury's and 4x2 black hyper x fury's

Make sure they are the same voltage and you should be fine, the mhz will declock if one is higher so no need to worry about that much

It's still not guaranteed even if everything matches. The likelihood of incompatibility is incredibly low, but it is still there and it does certainly happen from time to time.

I bought an 8gig stick of ddr4 hyper x ram, then 2 weeks later i bought another 8gig stick. Been working fine for months.

yea now im trying to find 2x4 black and 2x4 red because that would match my theme for the setup black/red

all you really need to do is match the voltage, well thats all I look for and every time It works, friend used averix with crucial, worked

Corsair with  gskill worked.

 

Maybe I'm a magician and luck is with me, idk

There is a possibility DIMMs won't work together even if you buy the exact same model. Like I said, it's a rare occurrence, but it does happen. Usually you don't even need to match the speeds/voltages of DIMMs to make them work together, but occasionally you get unlucky.

 

The likelihood is probably like 1-5% tops. Like I said, rare.
