Hey there! Yes, you can still use it even though the specs differ slightly. The RAM you bought is rated for 1.35V, which is higher than the 1.2V slots on your motherboard. Just make sure your system supports that voltage and that the RAM is compatible with your motherboard model. If everything checks out, you should be good to go!

1.2V is typical for DDR4, yet increasing it to 1.35V works fine, and many fast memory types require this higher level.

Slots rarely advertise running at 1.2v directly. You usually see this in BIOS settings where defaults can be adjusted, and the chipset can handle higher voltages if needed.
