They have a rating of 3200, which means they may lose stability beyond that level.
The most reliable method to detect chips is by taking off the heat spreader.
There are several ways to identify a G.Skill IC. One approach involves using software such as Thaiphoon Burner to examine the SPD data and check for the presence of the IC number. Another method is decoding the IC code located above the serial number, where the last three digits indicate the manufacturer (Samsung, Hynix, Micron), the second digit offers no meaningful information, and the final digit represents the die revision.
Absolutely, Thaiphoon avoids damaging memory modules and tends to be quite reliable. It sometimes misses a signal but never makes mistakes. For many other ICs, consistency is key, which can be helpful. Understanding voltage tolerances is also important—it helps you know safe operating limits, like being able to work with 1.6V without issues or staying below 1.35V for chip health and performance.
I've never experienced such poor RAM for overclocking; it demands 1.5v for stability at that frequency range. My IMC won't exceed 1.1v without triggering static audio issues. I considered all options but found second-hand B-die RAM expensive in the UK. The 6700K model with 4.7 cores and 4.5 rings in a sabertooth Z170 seems promising. According to online sources, pre-2017 RAM lacks those specifications. Many guides warn about typhoon's instability and mention malware risks in its software. I believe stability only rises above 1.45v.
