Is this memory compatible with mine ?

Snowy2012 · 25 Jun 2020 at 13:37

My system currently has 32Gb of RAM in 2 16Gb modules which are Corsair Vengenance RGB modules with the part numbers (according to BIOS) of CMWX16GC3200C16W4.

For work I need to be able to run several VM's so I am planning to put another 32gb of RAM in there.

I'm trying to work out if this is the same RAM I have in my system so I can match it :

CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 (which is 2 x 16Gb)

Can anyone confirm if I am buying the correct set please ? Many thanks in advance.

Cpu-z should tell u which ram it is like those codes u posted. If compatible i dunno sry. Tho ur mb support page should tell u which ram is compatible, mixing ram of different sizes isnt the best practice tbh. Might be better off selling ur ram and getting a bigger pack so its all the same ram sticks.

Cpu-z gives the same product code for the 16gb modules installed (CMWX16GC3200C16W4) but I can't find anything with that product code. So I wondered if the 2x16Gb set I mention above is compatible

If its the same speed and timings and brand and looks the same its probably compatible. You can always return it within 14 days if it doesnt seem to work or give ocuk a chat in https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/categories/ocuk-customer-service.72/ customer service section to check.
