Different versions of CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9. What is the difference?

I bought my first set of CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 about 2 years ago. They were version 2.12. Checking the DDR3 IC Inquiry, version 2.12 are Elpida IC. I received my second set today and they are version 3.24 (Micron). I've read that because they are different IC, there could be possible compatibility issues. I was wondering which company makes better IC for overclocking, Micron or Elpida? Or if the other IC are better than these two (Hynix? Nanya? etc).

 

Thanks.

Basically there really is no way to answer your question other to overclock each set and compare the results. Your always going to find people who prefer one brand over the other.

 

Understood. Has there been any report of one overclocking better than the other from past posts? I've tried searching, but have found nothing. From what I know so far, it seems as if ver5.11 are better than ver8.16 for the Corsair Vengeance, at least.
