Current RAM not on sale anymore, would this be the equivalent? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to upgrade my 16GB DDR4 RAM to 32GB DDR4. Currently I have the HyperX HX433C16PB3K2/16 kit installed. It seems this kit is not sold anymore. I'm not really keen on buying a whole new 32GB RAM kit.

I found this kit from Kingston that seems about the same. It's DDR4-3200 instead of DDR4-3333 I currently have. I'm aware that my old kit will then run slower but I don't mind. The latencies are the same.

Should this kit be okay to add or is it asking for troubles?

It will work 99% sure. But your Ram will be set to the slowest of the 2 clock speeds I suppose.

Afaik you can even use DDR3L and DDR3 together.
