I purchased the Powerspec G705. Can i use any DDR4 2666 memory in it
I purchased this machine : PowerSpec G705 Gaming Computer; AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7Ghz Processor; AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6; 16 DDR4 It comes with 16gb (2x 8gb) of Gold Key Technologies DDR4-2666 / PC-21300 Ram. Microcenter doesnt stock this memory any more.. can i put any other DDR4-2666 memory in it, ie Crucial Ballistix Gaming 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit BL2K8G26C16U4B - Black or does it have to be matched memory?
Thanks

You'll want to pair it with matched speed memory, however, it shouldn't harm it if you mismatch speed. Typically the higher speed memory will adjust its clock to match the lower memory.For the best results, I'd recommend matching speeds and timings.
