RAM & RAM speeds

[Ormorof]

Hullo hullo,

I managed to get a pre-built PC at a €300ish discount but because its a pre-build the RAM is a little odd, there is 3x 4 GB DDR3 -1600 RAM (PC3-12800) from a company called Hynix (never heard of them either) so i have a spare RAM slot on the motherboard

now my question is, does it, in a technical sense, matter if i find some other 4GB DDR3 .1600 RAM (PC3 -12800) from a different brand if it has all the same specs?

I ask because the only Hynix RAM sticks i could find where from US eBay with a hefty price tag!

It could matter. But with the same specs, it shouldn't. A gamble really.

Hynix are 2nd largest memory producers in the world, i trust they produce their sticks to standards, so it should work with most other brands, considering it's still actually Hynix underneath

For example, most of the Corsair Vengeance sticks sport Hynix modules. Perspective, meet Ormorof.

Well that is excellent news
