Hello everyone, I'm currently using 3 x 2GB G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL8T DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-24 240PIN and I'd like to add another 3 x 2GB sticks. Problem is I can't find them in stock anymore. Can I buy a different model or do they really have to be identical ? What alternatives do I have ?

Mouse has tracking troubles on multi-coloured pads, If you has small-medium hands it is palm or claw grip mouse. For large handed people only claw, go and buy ec1 if you want to palm.

That should work well since they should be able to attain the same timings/frequency at the same (or very similar) voltage. It's rated 1600mhz CAS 9 at 1.5v, should do 1600mhz CAS 8 no problem at 1.6v - 1.65v.
If it were me though I would probably just ditch the 3 sticks you currently have and go with a 3 x 4 GB kit. Not a big price difference, and less sticks = less stress on CPU's memory controller which makes it easier to stabilize overclocking- whether it's CPU speed or attaining higher memory frequency.
