Hello everyone, have a great day. I discovered some decent RAM options to purchase, such as Corsair Vengeance 2*16 GB CL28 6000mhz with the model CMK32GX5M2B6000Z28. I plan to buy a B650 Tomahawk Wi-Fi module. When checking compatibility in the motherboard's list, it says they are compatible, but it mentions a single module. Some entries indicate dual compatibility. I’m a bit confused—will these work as a dual module? Also, looking at the pictures, the RAM models are listed. I tried searching for them on the original manufacturer’s site but didn’t find the specific versions. How can I be sure these exact RAMs are suitable? Is the version number important? And if it matters, how can I identify the version of my RAMs? Thanks a lot!

It would be better to switch to a different type of RAM, since uncertainty about the purchase could lead to wasted time. Opt for something fully compatible with dual channel.

The single is referring to the RAM module having all its chips on one side, not about using just one stick.

The other response left me puzzled. It seems you're confirming you're ready, but since each module is one-way, why do the rams say "Dual" on this list? Thanks!

It's all good. The testing confirmed it works with dual DIMMs, meaning it functions in a dual-channel setup. The specific RAM model is included in the update.

Using Corsair indicates a distinct version or model of the same number. They include this in the QVL to confirm we tested the correct one, as changes between versions affect validity. I’m worried you won’t find your Corsair memory model until you purchase it. The screenshot doesn’t show the column headers, but typically the number of sticks corresponds to the tick marks at the end.

It's a shame I can't master that version, but thanks a lot! I'm ready with these sticks. Just sending the column headers for confirmation.
