Different memory versions, same performance specs + model

[TheWai]

Hello,

 

I recently bought another pair of Corsair RGB Pro (2x8gb) 3200mhz 16-18-18-36 to go along with my existing sticks which are the same model, timing and frequency. However, I noticed that there is a difference in version between the new pair I got vs my existing pair. The sticks I’m current using are version 4.32 and the new ones I bought are 5.22. I bought my existing ram about a year ago.

 

I did some research into this and found that my old ones (ver 4.32) are using Samsung chips while the new ones (ver 5.22) use Hynix chips. 
 

Will the new pair work with the old? I haven’t opened the new ones yet so I can return them if they’re not going to be compatible. It’s odd because in an old build, I’ve mixed memory with completely different specs and models before and it still worked.

 

I don’t plan on overclocking my memory, but I would like to run them at their XMP profiles/ up to spec @ 3200mhz.

 

Thanks in advance!

If they're the same clock and timings, it should be no issue. As you said, it's possible to make completely mismatched kits still work, it's just safer to have them as closely matched as possible, in terms of not running into issues getting them to work.

I know it's an old thread but did you manage to run them both ? I have same ram as u and I've having issues with the xmp
