I'm looking for RAM that is compatible with my new motherboard(ASUS 970 pro gaming aura) and in the compatibility listing for the RAM I am looking at it specifies two different version numbers. I can't seem to figure out how to find the version number on the Amazon pages I am looking at. Is there any way for me to figure out their version numbers another way? For reference, the RAM I am looking to buy is the Corsair Vengeance 8GB model number: CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10 and the compatibility listing shows both Ver3.23 and Ver8.21.

The QVL on this old a motheboard is more a guild then something you need to follow to the letter. A good number of the RAM test probably isn't sold anymore. This is great set that works with your motherboard.
