Kingston can be said to be the world's largest memory manufacturer. The memory particles it uses include not only the product particles developed by Kingston itself, but also more memory particles produced by other manufacturers. Nowadays, they are on the market. Hynix granules and Magnesium granules are most commonly used in marketing.
The common memory particles used in memory modules produced by Kingston manufacturers are as follows:
MOSEL particles?
Winbond
Toshiba Japan Toshiba
Samsung Samsung particles
Infineon Infineon particles
PSC Power Crystal particles
NANYA South Asia particles
HYNIX modern particles
Hynix Hynix particles
ELPIDA Elpida particles
Micron Micron?
Memory sticks are made of chips , PCB circuit boards and some resistors and capacitors. They have few appearance marks and most of them have no formal outer packaging. It is difficult for ordinary consumers to judge their quality from the appearance alone, so they should pay more attention when purchasing. The most common method of memory counterfeiting is to use inferior products to pass off as brand-name products. Memory chips need to go through three steps before leaving the factory: pre-process, post-process and inspection process.
Extended information:
Kingston's high-frequency memory includes Kingston DDR400 and DDR433-DDR500 memory using "Hynix" D43 particles and Winbond memory particles, which belong to the ValueRam series ( Economy) and HyperX series.
Kingston’s ValueRam series has the same price as ordinary DDR400, but it can be overclocked to DDR500. Kingston's HyperX series also has good overclocking capabilities. Kingston's 500MHz HyperX overclocking memory (HyperX PC4000) is available in single-chip packages with capacities of 256MB and 512MB, and dual-chip packages with capacities of 512MB and 1GB. Its voltage is 2.6 volts and uses aluminum heat dissipation. The chip enhances heat dissipation and uses Samsung K4H560838E-TCCC chip. The CAS value under DDR400 is 2.5 and the CAS value under DDR500 is 3, so the performance is average.
Although memory brands such as Kingston, KingMax, and Apacer all use their own particles, there are fewer counterfeit products. However, there are also sophisticated profiteers who have "made" fake products. Recently, counterfeit Kingston memory has appeared on the market. It uses Samsung's original memory for counterfeiting. However, the identification method of counterfeit memory sticks is also very simple. You only need to pay attention to the words SUNSAMG printed on the PCB (due to workmanship problems, it is not easy for counterfeiters to remove it). When purchasing, we can also check whether the product has an agent. Anti-counterfeiting labels are provided, and you can call the anti-counterfeiting phone number to identify the authenticity.
