Identifying the DRAM module type
Identifying the DRAM module type
You're looking for the maximum voltage your RGB Pro (CMW16GX4M2C3200C16) can handle. It seems the burner indicates an unknown value, but it's safe to say you're aiming for 1.35V or higher. If you want more stability while overclocking, consider adjusting BIOS settings or using a more stable power supply. Opening a case isn't recommended unless necessary.
You have Corsair DIMMs with version details. Retrieve the sticks from the system and look for the version code—like "v4.32". The first digit identifies the brand, the third is the Micron type (4, 3, or 5), the fourth is the Samsung variant (A, B, C, etc.), and the last number is the die name starting with A as 0. For example, Samsung B Die would be v4.31, Samsung E Die v4.24, Samsung C Die v4.32, Micron Rev. E v3.34, Micron Rev. B 16Gb (the recommended one) v3.42, Hynix DJR v5.33, etc. If you lack a version number on the stick, you might need to open it, though Corsair often changes their memory ICs. EDIT: Based on what I recall, it seems to be Samsung C Die. It tends to fail above 1.35V and rarely boots above 1.55V. Edited Feb 15, 2022 by RONOTHAN##
I was fortunate to find the 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 Corsair Vengeance RGB units in the youngest gamer PC. Thaiphoon Burner identified them as B-die. Any software that checks Serial Presence Detect (SPD) might reveal the maker, though it’s likely what Thaiphoon Burner uses. PassMark offers such a utility or you can install a Linux Live and run: sudo dmidecode --type 17
It also displays Henix, which isn’t correct. I believe the value should be 4.31, though some Reddit threads mention Corsair using 4.31 for B Die and certain C Die tables—this seems questionable. I’ll create a bootable version later, but it might be a C Die issue based on what I see.
