Question RAM version difference

[v3rk1]

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?!

even if it was the same version as my current one which is 3.32?

Same box.....

Everything being 100% equal, it is likely to work.
Likely == something less than 100% guaranteed.

but how average consumer suppose to know this when upgrading ram ?

By asking questions.

And getting answers from people who have done this a time or two.

Like what you're getting here.


And the "average consumer" does not upgrade their RAM.
That would be in the enthusiast realm.
They are much more likely to buy a whole new PC.

The "average consumer" knows little about speed, and nothing about CL.

just an update on this
so i managed to find a kit in the used market with the same version that i already had (3.32) and everything worked fine even with running xmp.
