I have a 16 GB memory unit: DDR5 6000mhz at 1.25 volts. I attached a photo of it. Can I swap it for the Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB Kit (two 16 GB units, 6000MHz, 1.35 volts)? You can find it here: https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-6000MHz-Ov...XMYL8?th=1. My board is an MSI Pro B760M-VC with WiFi bulk. I’m unsure about the voltage change—1.25 vs 1.35—and how important that is. Thanks.

The main concern comes only if your motherboard doesn’t support adjusting the voltage or XMP features. However, assuming you’re on a 1.25V setup, it’s likely you’ve already made the necessary changes, as the standard voltage for DDR5 is 1.1V. If BIOS settings remain unchanged, the Crucial modules will default to 5600, which isn’t a major issue.
