Will these RAM work together?

Go to solution Solved by tlink,

it probably won't but it might. the best practice is to buy exactly the same serial number ram.

Good day everybody.

I'm looking to upgrade my PC's RAM for a better gaming experience, precisely in Battlefield 1 (as it's the recommended spec). My current RAM is a Kingston 8GB DDR3 stick. Further specifications are in the images here: http://imgur.com/a/ff7yg

I believe the spec sheet by Kingston can be found here: http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16N11_8.pdf

 

Anyway, I'm planning on buying a Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz stick as my second RAM stick; http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX316C10FB_8.pdf

 

Will both of these RAM work together in dual-channel mode just fine?

Thanks in advance.

Won't be able to do that at the moment. I'll try and take a picture from the top (since it has some holes) and see if I can get anything. Anyway, if I bought the same stick, would it be guaranteed that both my RAM will run in dual-channel mode?

Alright, apologies for the double post, but I just wanted to update you guys;

 

I bought the same exact same RAM just to avoid any problems. I hope it works in dual-channel mode, as nothing is guaranteed. As for this thread, I guess the best answer is the same as was provided by tlink; the best practice is to buy the same ram to ensure that it works.

 

Cheers!
