    Only asking because I done a test with cpu-z before getting my new Corsair CMSO8GX4M1A2133C15 Value Select 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4 2133 MHz CL15 Mainstream SODIMM to make my laptop 12gb but after taking the Samsung module out and putting this news one in, cpu-z shows the latency timings to be worse so I was wondering which 8gb make is be best using to match the same speed as my soldered ram as I know I can only try and match that and not go faster.

    The image of the first picture memory tab are still the same but the 2nd pic SPD tab are all higher, the ram did say it was CL15 but not sure if i'd be best sending it back and getting another to get the same speeds i had before?

    I have put my old 4gb stick back in my laptop and done a screenshot of the spd timings compared to the above ones, are they too close to be any issue or would you say are a lot slower?
