Need help IDing Ram dies
Can we identify which RAM sticks are made from Micron 8Gb Rev. E or Micron 16Gb Rev. B, similar to how Samsung B-Dies are tracked? I understand these dies appear in other brands but seem inconsistent, unlike the consistent results with Crucial Ballistix. Do other manufacturers experience more mixed binning for these types of dies?
No clear advantage for micron dies compared to Samsung B Die. Most people assume B Die is superior, but it can be tough on the imc. There isn’t a standard list of RAM revisions using micron dies, so you’ll mostly depend on chance. If buying used, ask the seller to test the RAM dies. As alternatives, consider HyperX Dragon or Corsair DDR because they also support high frequencies and have better timing performance.
CPU-Z can sometimes give misleading info. If you own the hardware and take the heatsink off, you might check the chips directly. Otherwise, you usually depend on online resources, though detailed details are mostly available for Samsung B-die. For specific models you're curious about, searching can help verify information. Manufacturers rarely promote this detail because they often switch dies based on supply and cost.
Samsung is costly and the RAM market in Canada is limited. There are sales available, but they’re unpredictable. I own a Taihpoon burner for regular checks, but unless I locate the desired sticks on Amazon with a solid return policy, I’d have to rely on Canada Computers.
