Hi
I need to upgrade my RAM from 16GB to 32GB. I plan to sell my current memory and buy a set of 2x16GB 2666Mhz CL16. The cheapest option for me will be the Corsair VENGEANCE LPX. According to Asrock QVL I need CMK32GX4M2A2666C16(v4.32). The vendors in my country don't list the version and the only used ones I found have version 3.40. My current RAM(IRX2666D464L16S/8G) is also not on the QVL list. If I buy any of these Corsair versions, will it work normally? My PC: i5-10400f/AsrockB460M-HDV

I'd advise on picking up a tighter kit of ram, meaning a tighter timings/latency. That would help give you a bump in performance as well, in spite of being relegated to DDR4-2666MHz, due to your processors memory controller.

The vendors in my country
Where would this country be on the atlas? What sort of brands/kits do you have access to?

In all fairness, all ram should work on the board, so long as it's DDR4 and isn't built using the worst IC's. Lastly, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

I was thinking about better sets because they are often cheaper. The question is how with the XMP / JEDEC profile, will you have to set it manually or will there be a profile for 2666 to work with this processor? Country is Poland. Bios version is 1.60
