    Hi,
    Could you please download and install CPU-z, run it and find out the specs of your current RAM in Memory tab and SPD tab, then buy the new module with same specs as the current module, if you have a 3200MHz module at the moment get another 8GB 3200MHz module, if you have a 2666MHz module buy 2666mhz module and install because it will utilise dual channel feature, the memory in your link has frequency of 2400MHz so it may not work as dual channel  with your current module.

    Hi,
    Run CPU-z, move to SPD tab and you check the details of memory in two slots, move to memory tab for additional information.

    Does your Acer nitro 5 make click noise during opening the lid from the top of the lid  ??
