hi i have 2 vengeance pro sl 3200MHz CL16 and i want to buy another kit of the same ram and everything is the same but the version of the ram (version is on a sticker on ram itself)
and my own ram is version 3.32 and the one that i want to buy is 3.30, so my question is will these work together with no problem?!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The chips used on ram kits may vary, which is why you have a revision number slapped across the box/package/PCB. I'd suggest getting an identical kit, all the way down to it's PCB revision number. One question though, how are you looking at a prior revision of a ram kit? Is it used?

The closer they are, the more likely they are to work. However, there is no guarantee; only RAM sold together has been tested and verified to work together. It's a misconception that RAM is a bunch of different versions; they're mostly the same stuff and their branding is simply due to being tested and binned based on the result. A "version" in this case likely means a different semiconductor fab than the "model" was previously using (almost always Samsung, Micron, or SK Hynix).

i read that the last number in version number is for revision and its been made by micron based on first number which is 3
can you explain what is revision in ram?
and what are the chances that it wont work? from 1 to 100%

What are full technical specs of your system?

For example AMD systems are more sensitive to ram.
With 4 modules installed your system may not be able to achieve same ram speed as with 2 modules.

i have an amd system and my cpu is 5700g
so all 4 cant run at 3200? i think my mobo which is tuf b550 plus can run up to 4600mhz

Sure. Try it.
But be ready, you may need to return it, if there are issues.

in my country you can only return if the product is faulty return doesnt cover compatibility issues
i mean they have same speed and cl and everything isn't that what you should look out for while buying ram ?
i will never buy Corsair again

Its not a case of "Corsair".
Rather, just different RAM.
Even if it is the same brand and model.

The only guarantee of getting more than one RAM stick to work together is to buy them as a set.

Buying 2 more of "the same" is likely to work, but, as has been said multiple times....no guarantee of working.
