Hello,
I've got a question related to lowering frequency on the ram, i have an oldish PC, had 2x4gb stick of ram Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 2400 MHz, CL 16 version 5.20, bought new ram 2x4GB same brand same latency, same MHz, different verison 5.22. I had some issues with compatibility, didn't know why thought it was because of the different kits of ram. Without XMP or with only worked 12gb and lowering frequency to 1866 worked 16gb on voltage on 1.2 V .
After few months had random crashes on all applications, thought it was GPU driver because of windows errors but I did an memtest86 just in case it was ram issues and behold, 3k errors.
My question is can/did i fry the ram doing this? Never had this kind of issue before with different ram brands/kits
Why my motherboard sees ram 5.20 version 2133 mhz and 5.22 2400mhz? XMP puts it at 2400mhz but its odd why the motherboard sees at 2133 xD
I understand that in general it's not good to get different kits for ram even if its the same brand.

Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 2400 MHz, CL 16
