Hello,
I currently have 8 GB of 2133MHz RAM with CL/CAS (I don't know much about the difference) 15 and I would like to add 8 GB: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00210623.html
And I'm wondering if the above RAM stick, which has a CL/CAS of 14, will be compatible with my current RAM stick?
As for my motherboard, it's an MSI B250M PRO-VDH.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Hi,

    In principle, it should work. However, ideally, you need a memory stick that is strictly identical to the first one to make dual-channel work.

    Either both will run with identical latency (the lowest compatible between the two), so 15, if the other one is also 15.

    Make sure to place them correctly in the slots for dual-channel.
