I decided to buy a second bar of RAM and came to a stupor because of the prices. I now have 2133 and I don’t see the same for sale anymore. I decided to look at analogues for 2400, but for some reason they are much cheaper.
Here is the one I have now in my PC: https://www.e-katalog.ru/KINGSTON-HX421C14FB2-8.htm
Here are the prices for two of 8: https://market.yandex.ru/product--operativnaia -pam...
Here is the information from e-katalog on all the bars of this series https://www.e-katalog.ru/ek-list.php?brands_=105&p...
In general, please explain, I really don’t understand why such a price difference.
By the way, my motherboard is "gigabyte z170 gaming k3" and the PC configurator from DNS generally says that they don't have compatible RAMs on their site... Chooo?

Since the HX421C14FB2/8 memory module is out of production and not supplied by the manufacturer, most likely you see the price of two years ago.
It is not superfluous to mention that the use of different memory modules in dual-channel mode is not recommended. If you buy a set "KINGSTON HyperX Fury HX424C15FB2K2/16 DDR4 memory module - 2x 8GB 2400, DIMM, Ret" - install the modules in slots 1 and 3, and the old memory bar in the 2nd or 4th slot.
The link ( download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-... is a list of memory modules tested by Gigabyte to work in this motherboard, in general, a recommendation is not a requirement.
