I'm not sure what those links are supposed to show me... None of them takes me to an identical memory module to Hynix DDR-2400 (some of them aren't even DDR4). Which was exactly my point.

Hi,

All the links provided by mdklassen are for the wrong sort of memory.

As stated above the best setup would be two identical sticks of DDR4 memory. If you go on sites like amazon or other where  you will find them much cheaper than on manufacturers website (half the prize).

Example:

Hope it helps,
