You have a Kingston HyperX Fury with 8GB RAM at 2133MHz, which supports XMP profiles. You’re considering adding another 8GB stick of the same model but haven’t found one recently. You’re curious if it can be paired with a 2400MHz model like the HX424C15FB28. Regarding your system, your current RAM is dual-rank, while the new 2400MHz sticks are single-rank. Your existing I3 10100 with H410M S2H GTX 970 works fine, but pairing them directly isn’t recommended unless you upgrade to dual-rank sticks. Double-check the part numbers for compatibility before proceeding.
It should work well, blending memory isn't as problematic as many believe. I actually rely on two Kingston modules with varying speeds and latencies.
Consider starting with 2400 C15 configurations before moving to lower timings or higher frequencies. At this stage, you're pushing the memory overclock. The rank or die model isn't a big factor given the low frequency. Just keep in mind that going above 3200 will require extra caution from Intel.
its fine i can run my own at cl15 or even cl16 if its gonna work can i safely run them at 2400 mhz cl 15 or 2133 cl15? because im having a panic attack here and im about to order it only if they work because its a lot of money for me to spend
Why not. Memory sticks dont explode because you run them faster than they are rated for, at worse it fails to boot and you just need to clear CMOS to put you back into the BIOS. As long as you dont raise the voltage, nothing bad will happen.
