For my latest setup I purchased two Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB sticks—one at 3600MHz and another at 3200MHz. When they arrived, I received one at 3600MHz and another at 3200MHz. My concern is whether it’s worth swapping them for the higher-end model instead of returning and getting store credit for the $10 price gap. All four sticks are now running at the same speed, but there’s a clear distinction in RGB lighting and performance differences between the two units.
It's uncertain if those two kits will work well together; testing is necessary. If they do, you can either use them immediately or manually boost them if XMP isn't enough. They'll start at the lowest MHz available—3200 in this case—which matches what you paid for, so return the 3600MHz model and get your money back.
You got the incorrect item. It’s probably cheaper than your purchase. Contact customer service before opening it to swap it for the right product.
