So I want to get the beat out of my motherboard it's a m5a99fx pro 2.0 and on the Manuel for ram capability Corsair cmz32gx3max1866c10 XMP (ver 3.23)!!! What does that mean can my motherboard take other versions or is it just that because I can't find the in any specific place that has that version like new egg Amazon anywhere I see everything ddr3 corsair 32gb etc. so should I be concern about the version is it okay if I get different versions?

In reality your mobo will take most DDR3 ram, just the manufacturer has not tested it with every single combination. You can also safely ignore the XMP version number as it is just used to configure the ram timings so it does not matter if you are using a different version number.

They would work, might not be able to run at the headline frequency as it is not an officially supported speed (which may be why they need ridiculous fans to cool them ). I would also question the need for 32GB unless you have a specific application that needs so much
If the ram is listed as being compatible with your motherboard or vice versa then it should work. The timings are irrelevant. What's relevant is whether the motherboard or ram manufacturer has tested the combination and found it to be OK.
