Confusion regarding memory compatibility

The motherboard I will buy is Gigabyte ax370m-gaming 3. In their memory QVL my memory model ADATA AD4U2400W4G17-B is listed but chip manufacturer is listed as HYNIX but my ram has Chip from Specktek.
So would that be an issue?

Sorry but that didn't answer anything.
I was just asking that if the Adata Spectek Memory chip would work with the Gigabyte Motherboard as Gigabyte lists the same Adata module number but with a different chip from Hynix.
 
This is very confusing as that memory model is supposed have SK Hynix chips....How Specktek chips have got on that is very odd. Bottom line i am sure it will work, but contact ADATA and whoever supplied it to dig a bit deeper...Hopefully someone here might know more..Apologies..

SpecTek is a wholly owned division of Micron, a ram OEM whose major consumer label for ram is Crucial.

I don't see a problem there, Crucial ram is basically compatible with anything. I doubt Micron would release ram that didn't hold up to its standards.

The only thing I can figure is even though Adata kept the same model number, it changed OEM supplier for that ram, prolly due to cost factors or supply issues, which there was/is a shortage of silicon ic's not too long ago.
 


I think that is what has happened and they have kept the model number scheme the same..
