Hey everyone.So i am new to the forum and not native english speaker so excuse my writing. So i built a system a year ago with a ryzen 5 1600 and one 8gb stick from hyperx.(This exact one right here https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C18FR2_8.pdf ) And now that i have some money spare i wanted to upgrade to 16 gb with another 8 gb stick and i dont seem to find the exact same model nowhere.Neither in my local stores in Greece nor at ebay,amazon etc...The closest i found is this one ( https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C16FB3_16.pdf ). But they dont have the same timings (ignoring the fact that they dont even look the same and my pc is going to look crap ) What should i do here? Thank you all.

My English is much improved compared to your Greek. As long as the timing is nearly identical, I won’t have concerns. RAM is adaptable regarding settings, as long as they are very similar in specifications.

The RAM I own has a CL 18 while the updated model has a CL 16, and both have the same frequency. That should be fine.

This will work fine unless you're pushing the system to its limits. By the way, I did locate a compatible RAM module, though the price might not suit everyone! https://www.ebay.com/itm/HyperX-FURY-DDR...SwiJRd2ZKn Here’s a graph illustrating the performance variations based on CAS numbers https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory-pe...ed-latency If you can measure the actual speed difference, you’re in a better position than me!

Oh no, it looks a bit too expensive. I’m going to go for the updated version. It doesn’t even have red, which is kind of a shame since I need it for my RAM. Maybe I’ll even make a custom heatsink with RGB lighting—heheh! Thanks!
