I see DDR4 hyperx ram cheaper because of NON ecc, should i buy it for gaming?

if its running its ok but i think you have 2 different sticks.
if you could look at ram there is a white sticker and there should be a line that tells you which version-like v.4.42 or v5.31
it seems you got 1xhynix+1x samsung
if its possible i would change to 2x the same(better for combatibility and selling)

here you can look for yourself(its ddr3 but same for ddr4)

ahm, if anyone think im spaming, please tell me i will request this forum to lock, if it makes anyone feels good :)
anyways, my first stick is 3.20ver and second one is 3.31ver
is it optimal? if it isnt, what kind of problem i will get in future?

What ram specifically? If they are from the same company such as corsair with corsair etc you should be fine.
 
its ok like others said.
if its running its running.
it says you have 2x micron sticks and that is ok.
there are some downsides from mixing sticks but dont let you get in too much detail.
for your next buy get a kit of ram- its just easier
 
From 2 weeks it was running with everyday heavy game as usual.
I came from office and turned my pc on then i saw a bios warning of system instability and asked me to reset settings or press f1 for setup,
There wasnt written any thing about ram,
Then i continued with changing anything and everything working like before,
I doubt that warning msg arrived because i turned my cpu on suddenly after turned ups ON, may be its because of power supply? Instant power?
Im testing prime95 with full load of ram/custom blend test from 2 hours all is fine yet,
How long do i need to test it?
What can the cause of that error?
Whats the best software to test ddr4 ram (i cant run test all night, there's electricity problem in ny location due to thunder)
 
Ecc is used for servers its not compatible with desktop motherboards.

I thought it was registered dimms that didn't work with desktop motherboards. Wouldn't ecc simply be ignored by a non-compatible desktop motherboard?
