Trident Z RGB vs Neo for Intel Z690?
Yes, even if both kits have identical speeds and timing, there could still be differences in other factors affecting performance.
For clarity, memory compatibility involves three key areas: the memory IC, the PCB, and the SPD programming. The ICs for a 16GB stick and an 8GB stick will differ, which means their compatibility will vary. Would this affect you? Probably not, since both are likely to function, though performance isn't guaranteed just because one works.
