I would like to use this RAM in combination with the mainboard MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (AM4, ATX) (7C02-020R). On the MSI page it says that these RAM devices only work with version 4.31 (see https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX#support-mem-14).

What version is this product?

Answer

Die "Versionsnummer" ist nur eine Nummer, um RAM des gleichen Herstellers und derselben "Revision" zu bekommen. Aus dem Internet:

Corsair sticks identify the IC with a 'version number' on the label such as "ver 4.31" - props to them for this as it helps even less knowledgeable users to match kits when adding more sticks retroactively. The DDR4 numbers aren't officially documented, but they follow the same pattern as DDR3.

The numbers take the for "ver X.YZ" where;
* X is IC maker - 3 for Micron, 4 for Samsung, 5 for Hynix, presumably 8 for Nanya as with DDR3
* Y seems to be capacity per rank - 1 for 2GB, 2 for 4GB, 3 for 8GB. Usually this translates directly to IC density (8GB/rank = 8Gbit), but ver 4.14 which uses half as many double width "x16" 4Gbit chips is a special case.
* Z is revision, usually starting from A=0 and usually counting up one letter per increment. Hynix's first revisions are lettered "M" which is numbered as X.Y9, samsung now do this too and it will proesumably be the same.

Diese RAM funktionieren daher auf Garantie auf Deinem gewünschten Board.
