Andremitake Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hello, i'm from Brazil, and i have a doubt about corsair vengeance 4gb 1600MHz, i got 2 memories, though i've noticed in the discripition, both came with two different versions: 8.16 and 2.12. What's the difference between them? Will i have issues if i use both differente versions together? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 DDR3 IC Inquiry It is NEVER recommended to mix kits, even of the same part / version number. Without the specific kits being tested together, there's no way to know how they'll run together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andremitake Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ok, thanks, bot you know what's the difference between them? I'm frustrated, because now I do not know how to change one of the memories. But anyway, thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 They use different memory chips to make the different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andremitake Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 hahaha Sorry my bad English, I need to change because the version is different ver. 2.12 and 8.16. Our friend says memories never recommended to use with different versions, so I need to change one of the memory modules with the supplier. =( Tks for the help.

Wired Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 There is NO GUARANTEE that if they're the same version that they would work together. They may work together, but there is no way to know without trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andremitake Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'll test next week, when i will get the other components and I'll post if it worked or not. My fear is that end up damaging some component of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andremitake Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hello, I tested the system after a long time, and version 8.16 had memory problems and when I use the two ends up creating conflicts and memory dump. Using only the version 2.12 I can use my system normally, thank you for attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 23, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 23, 2012 You can request an RMA for both sets of modules but since you did not purchase them as one complete set there is not a lot we can do. I would always suggest you purchase the memory you plan to use as one set and not try to mix two sets of modules. You can request the RMA using the link on the left then contact our customer service for replacement options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
