    Question HX432C16FB3/16 and KF432C16BB/16-SP compatibility ?

    I bought from online marketplace a 2x16GB KINGSTON HyperX FURY DDR4 3200MHz RAM, but when it arrived and checked using CPU-Z its not the same RAM. The RAM case is the same so I assume it has been swapped. Should I just refund these RAMs or is it okay for me to use it? Thanks
