When many people buy memory, they rely on the seller’s recommendation. Although the information is very good, it may not be all true. We ourselves need some knowledge to distinguish authenticity. The author hereby introduces a few to you. A very practical technique for distinguishing genuine ADATA memory from fake ones. As long as you pay attention to these details when purchasing, you will definitely buy a high-quality ADATA memory product.
How to identify the authenticity of ADATA memory? How to identify the authenticity of ADATA memory
In fact, it is very simple to distinguish the authenticity of ADATA memory. When you get an ADATA memory product, you must first observe it with the naked eye. From the anti-counterfeiting phone number on the memory sticker to the design of the outer packaging, you can tell the difference between genuine and fake products. Let’s start with the anti-counterfeiting logo and anti-counterfeiting phone number. The entire PCB of the ADATA Vibrant Red series memory is mainly purple. There is a V?DATA hot stamping logo in the middle of the circuit board. The memory particles are affixed with V?DATA’s red barcode stickers and threats. Gang Technology's anti-counterfeiting stickers, the anti-counterfeiting stickers indicate the inquiry phone number and website address, as well as the anti-counterfeiting code that can be scratched off. ADATA Red Veyron has a red heat sink installed outside the green PCB layer. There is a laser barcode sticker on the front of the heat sink and an anti-counterfeiting sticker on the back. If you can't tell the difference between authenticity and fakeness based on appearance, the inquiry phone number and scratch-off security code on the anti-counterfeiting sticker can help you thoroughly determine the authenticity of the product.
The phone number on the anti-counterfeiting sticker of the genuine memory is 021-68644990. Make sure the anti-counterfeiting inquiry phone number starts with 021. If not, it is a fake. The anti-counterfeiting code is a 16-digit number. Many counterfeit products either do not have an anti-counterfeiting code or have the wrong number of digits. It is easy to find the difference between the real and fake products by careful observation.

After purchasing ADATA memory products and preliminary confirmation of appearance, please immediately conduct anti-counterfeiting inquiries. Call the official anti-counterfeiting inquiry hotline? 021-68644990? or go online Adata's official website? www.adata.com.cn? Check the authenticity. The anti-counterfeiting 16-digit number can only be checked once.
If the product you inquired about is authentic, the reply is? Thank you for purchasing Adata Authentic products of technology. ?;
If the product is fake or the input is incorrect, the reply is: ?The number you are querying does not exist, beware of counterfeiting, or check and re-enter, and please call the consultation hotline. ?
If the anti-counterfeiting number is queried again, the reply will be? The number you queried has been queried at XX hour and minute on XXXX, XXXX, and the number has expired. Please beware of counterfeiting. ?
After observing the product anti-counterfeiting labels, let’s take a look at how to identify the outer packaging. The outer packaging of genuine products has the eye-catching word ADATA Technology and the unique VDATA LOGO icon, indicating the manufacturer of the memory, and there is no general agent or other company to indicate it. The name of the general agent appears on the packaging of the fake product, but there is no manufacturer mark such as ADATA Technology or the VDATA LOGO icon. The difference between real and fake memory packaging can be clearly seen from the picture below:
Genuine product: The genuine product has the words ADATA Technology and the VDATA LOGO icon on the packaging, and there is no general agent
< p> Fake goods: There is a general agent, and there is no ADATA unique product LOGOSupplement: Common memory maintenance skills
1. For memory cheats and graphics cards caused by dust If the oxide layer is faulty, we should use rubber or cotton dipped in alcohol to clean it, so that the screen will not go black.
2. Regarding the problem of mixed memory insertion, when upgrading memory, try to choose the same memory as your existing one. Don’t think that buying new mainstream memory will make your computer perform better. On the contrary, it may cause Lots of questions. Principle of mixed memory insertion: Insert low-standard, low-standard memory into the first memory slot (that is, DIMM1).
3. When only one memory needs to be installed, the memory socket close to the CPU socket should be preferred. The advantage of this is that it can be cleaned when the memory is contaminated by dust brought out by the CPU fan, and the socket It is extremely difficult to clean after being contaminated.
4. Install the memory module. There is a latch on both sides of the DIMM slot. When the memory gap is correctly aligned and plugged in, the two teeth should automatically lock the memory. . There is only one notch on the gold finger of DDR memory. The two sides of the notch are asymmetrical and correspond to a ridge on the DIMM memory slot, so the direction is easy to determine. For the previous SDR, there were two gaps, and it was easy to determine the direction. However, SDR has gradually faded out of the market, so it doesn't hurt to learn about it. When pulling out the memory, you only need to move the two teeth outward. , the memory will automatically come out of the DIMM (or RIMM) slot.

Check the memory labels: The genuine Kingston memory labels are printed clearly and regularly, while the fake ones are obviously rough and light, and the fonts appear relatively thin. In addition, the formatting rules of genuine and fake Kingston memory labels are also very different, so please observe carefully.
Check the memory particles: It can be clearly seen from the Kingston memory particles in the picture that the genuine Kingston memory particles are clearly printed, while the fake memory particles are very dim, in sharp contrast to the genuine ones. For a memory, the PCB circuit board only accounts for about 10% of the cost of the memory, while the memory particles are the focus of determining the price of the memory. Therefore, usually the PCBs of fake products are basically manufactured by regular OEMs, while the particles are made of "white flakes" in the jargon, which is what we call defective products. They are cheap but have poor stability and compatibility.
Check the registered trademark logo: the genuine Kingston’s registered trademark? R Another point, carefully observe the watermark inside the label. There are obvious traces at the connection between the fake memory watermark and the KINGSTON font, proving that it is post-printed, which will not appear in genuine Kingston memory.
Gold finger identification: The following is the gold finger of a genuine Kingston memory. The gold fingers of genuine Kingston memory are pure in color, and the gold finger connections in the purple box are gold-plated; the gold fingers of fake Kingston memory are slightly dull, and the gold finger connections in the red box are copper sheets of the PCB board and are not Gold plated.
Identification of the fonts on the PCB board: The left is genuine Kingston memory. Genuine Kingston memory has uniform fonts with no obvious size difference, and has relevant certification symbols. The counterfeit Kingston memory has different fonts and no relevant certification symbols.
K-label: This is a macro shot using a SLR camera, and the flash is turned on to capture the authentic and fake labels. The laser pattern of the authentic label can see dense silver powder particles. The K-character is not obvious, and the background appears. blue. The letter "K" on the counterfeit label is very obvious, and the density of the silver powder particles is low.
Flip the angle to view anti-counterfeiting: The laser anti-counterfeiting label of genuine Kingston memory can show two patterns by changing the angle. The first pattern has a silver powder effect on the upper half and a half K stain on the lower half. ;The second pattern has a silver powder effect on the lower edge and a half-K shape on the upper edge. The counterfeit label has only one pattern, which is a very obvious K word.
