Nitro AN515-57-74P3 Does my motherboard support RAMs with CAS Latencies lower than CL22?

I have Acer Nitro AN515-57-74P3 (NH.QDGSG.003) which comes with a 8GB RAM 3200MHz 1Rx16 module that has CL22 (CAS Latency 22). To be exact, it is Kingston ACR32D4S2S1ME-8 product.

Can I remove it entirely and replace with a pair of 8GB RAM 3200MHz 1Rx8 CL20 modules instead, please?

So it would then be like:

• 1x 8GB RAM 3200MHz 1Rx16 CL22
• 2x 8GB RAM 3200MHz 1Rx8 CL20

Basically I don't like CL22 as well as 1Rx16 modules.

My questions are:

1. Does my system (motherboard) support those new pair of RAM (CL20 / 1Rx8) modules?
2. Will those new pair of RAMs be supported so that the "duel channeling" mode should also kick-in as well?

Please help me confirm it.
Would prefer and appreciate the advise from Acer technicians.

Thank you all

1. As long as they are not XMP, yes.
2. As long as they have the same specs (kit), yes

Hi, thanks for the comment.

For (1) I've just bought and tried installing a pair of XMP rams, and they both still works at 3200MHz / CL20 / Duel Channeling. So, they still works even if they're XMP rams. Just not enabling XMP mode, which is fine.

Yes if they have JEDEC profile @3200 and CL20 they should work
