Versions of RAM - problem?

[vK 3 1 RON]

Last night I posted a problem that I was having when installing new sticks of RAM, basically, the motherboard and CPU were able to have 4 sticks installed, however, when I pushed it to 8 it crashed, so I presumed there must have been a faulty memory stick somewhere along the line, so I managed to get it back up to 4 sticks and left it for the night, however, today when I'm conducting more research I've found that the versions of the RAM sticks are different, there make, brand and model are the same except one was sold as a pack of 4 sticks going up to 32GB of memory and the other was 2 sticks going up to 16GB which I bought 2 of, however, like I said, I've seen that their version numbers are different, the new sticks have a ver 3.31 and the old have 3.20   --- Is 'nothing to worry about'? I thought I'd disclose this as someone may say it is a problem however, I doubt it as when I checked the 4 sticks I put in the night before, 2 were old sticks and 2 were new, this means they're compatible does it not? 

 

Also, when I took out the ones that were working last night, I decided to replace them with the other 4 sticks to see if a problem is with the RAM. It was, the computer was unable to boot and kept shutting off after going from '6f' to '00'. I did the logical thing and took out all the 4 sticks of RAM and then started to test each one, one by one. I still have to test one more stick as I'm writing this, but it's an old one - so the new ones are fine I suppose and we'll see how the old one performs in just a few minutes.

 

I heard somewhere that increasing the voltage slightly on memory by +0.03 - 0.05 could help memory stability, is this true?

 

Thanks for any help,

To add to, after testing all the 'old' sticks again in order to be sure that I didn't accidentally skip one, I found that they all passed, all booted into windows perfectly fine.

So some theories have been disproven, next one

 

Do you think that maybe I have to have it so that the new modules are in a channel with other new ones, and the old with old? So it would logically be perhaps more compatible?

It worked after this, I put all the new modules into a channel with each other and the old with their siblings too and it ended up booting just perfectly fine. I decided to leave my post here in case anybody else has this problem in the future and they find this thread on google.
