Someone knows about this RAM in Neo Forza?
Uncertain about this completely without real research, but the three primary chip makers are Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron.
Thanks for your responses. At first I started this discussion because I was curious about their appearance and whether they might actually have problematic RGB settings. Recently I noticed a used 32GB model priced around $80/€75. While it has good RAM, I’m worried about its lifespan and the lack of warranty—possibly just 2 or 3 years if purchased. I haven’t learned anything yet about the manufacturer behind this RAM.
In short, Corsair LPX memory offers flexibility in choosing any IC for your PCB. They don’t publicly list the components they use, which makes it tricky to know exactly what’s inside each kit. Mixing different manufacturers or versions can lead to compatibility issues. The best way to confirm your setup is to test it with a tool like Typhoon Burner. If you run it at its default speed, it should last a long time—typically around 100,000 hours—though some parts may wear out sooner. Predicting how long it will last is uncertain, and no one can guarantee a decade of reliable use.
It's interesting to learn about the Corsair LPX. One would expect similar manufacturing methods. Only through testing with specific software can we verify if memory models align. Trying different RAM combinations isn't ideal. I recall people frequently mixed and matched RAM during the DDR3 era to achieve higher capacities like 8 or 16GB. The reliability of components remains a concern. Electronics naturally wear over time, though they're built for long-term use. Personally, I've kept my four Corsair Vengeance DDR3 modules from 2012 in good condition until now. Experience suggests that higher-end parts don't always guarantee longer lifespan. Perhaps exceptions exist, such as with power supplies, but that's not the general rule.
DDR3 performance wasn't significantly improved by mix matching. Certain modules didn't function properly even on Intel chips designed for AMD. Some users experienced success while others didn't. I owned a set of DDR3 Mushkin 1866mhz RAM that generally reached around 2200mhz with default settings (9-10-9-27-36). The part number was 997008. I also damaged them intentionally for fun. However, they still worked with several Phenom and FX processors, making it a worthwhile investment.
I hadn’t realized how much impact Intel and AMD had on RAM back then. It’s always a matter of chance when mixing components, but I also saw people just picking parts without checking specs. I’m aware that even now we must choose compatible RAM with AMD or Ryzen. Right now I have a faulty setup running at 2133mhz with a Ryzen processor—just because I found a good deal. I might need to learn about overclocking or upgrade soon. That’s impressive what you achieved. I’m not interested in RAM overclocking yet, so it doesn’t apply much to me. I’ve been using my 4x DDR3 at 1600mhz reliably for eight years.
Back then, similar memory modules were in demand for overclocking. BH5, BH6, D9 chips were popular choices. For DDR4, the B-Die is what I think Samsung ended producing by around Z170 and Z270, mainly aimed at Intel systems. It still works well across all platforms thanks to its scalability.
