I need some help understanding the support lists provided by motherboard manufacturers.
(motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE, cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8GHz 32MB)
I'm wondering. If I was to get 32 GB of RAM (2x16). There are these 2 options below that I am thinking of.
Nearly identical options, only voltages are different (1.35 & 1.2). However, I checked the memory support list (b450-aorus-elite, https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/support#support-doc ) and the first RAM option isn't on the list (I am searching by serial numbers). However, the second is there but the voltages then don't match.
On the list it says 1.35v. Now you would assume the first RAM option should be there seeing as it is 1.35v.
So I am wondering why that could be? Could you guys please check and tell me what you know/think?
If there are some shenanigans indeed. Hypothetically speaking. Would you personally ignore the fact that first module isn't on the list and just go with those RAM seeing as they match everything (on paper) and there is no reason why they shouldn't work? Or you would go with the second option although it has lower voltage then shown on the list but the product serial number is listed? (Assuming voltages aren't important)
See, I don't really even know what those listed modules even mean. They say which ones have been tested and worked fine? If so, they tested that product with 1.35v parameter, I assume then the one with standard 1.2 voltage should also be work well, no?
Help me understand this mess please.
