Hello. The Corsair Vengeance LPX uses DDR4 RAM with 8 GB capacity at 3000MHz. The forum discussion mentions Hynix AFR, which stands for Advanced Fabric Register Technology. MFR refers to the Manufacturer's Revision Number, indicating the latest version of the memory. When you bought a second RAM with Version 5.39, it likely has an updated MFR. Using two sticks from different manufacturers in dual-channel might cause compatibility issues, so it's best to stick with the same brand. Regarding AFR and MFR, AFR is a newer memory technology offering better performance, while MFR is the revision number showing how up-to-date the memory is.

AFR stands for A-Die, MFR for M-Die, and the pattern continues.

The difference between A-Die and M-Die is generally not significant for most purposes.

They vary indeed. Mixing kits isn’t recommended unless it’s necessary. Combining them can work in many situations, but may affect performance or cause issues. Some units might not start at all. The safest approach is to purchase a complete set matching your requirements and discard the outdated one. Keep the old storage for reference or testing only.
