Kingston memory should be said to be the first echelon memory in the memory market in recent years, which has been welcomed by many users, and naturally some merchants fake it. Is there any way to tell? I believe that after reading this article, friends can easily identify the fake Kingston memory.

method steps

1. The picture above is a fake Kingston memory. Friends should know that the left label of the real Kingston memory adopts a? Discoloration? Anti-counterfeiting technology, changing the angle of sight will change the color of the label. In the second picture, after the memory stick is placed on its side, it is found that the label of this fake memory can also change color. So? Discoloration? Anti-counterfeiting technology has failed.

2. The picture above is a genuine Kingston memory, which is made of modern D43 particles that have always been famous for their outstanding overclocking potential. Below, we will teach you how to identify fake Kingston memory by comparing these two memory chips.

3. In the above picture, the top is false and the bottom is true. You can try to compare and find the difference first.

4. Compared with the left label of the product, the upper label is false and the lower label is true.

5. Compared with memory particles, the right is true and the left is false.

Although they are not the same memory particles, it can also be clearly seen that the real memory particles on the right have clear handwriting, which feels like a knife carving when you look closely, and the font size and the arrangement between letters are quite neat; The polished fake memory particles on the left are illegible, the printed handwriting is sometimes dark and sometimes light, and the font size and the arrangement between letters are irregular. If you touch it by hand, the fake memory particles will feel rough because they have been polished; Real memory particles will be smoother.

6. Compared with the bottom plate, the upper right is true and the lower left is false.

Look carefully at the bottom of the memory particles. Real memory chips use a large number of high-quality micro-patch capacitors and resistors to ensure the stability and safety of the memory chips. The fake memory stick only keeps a little in the key part, and there are quite a few empty solder joints. Really? Save if you can. Ah.

these are the main points to compare the real and fake Kingston memory. Although there are different types of fake Kingston memory sticks, they will never change. As long as you master the above points and compare them carefully, you will definitely not buy fake memory sticks.

Supplement: Common maintenance skills of memory

1. For the failures of memory gold fingers and oxide layers of graphics cards caused by dust, everyone should use rubber or cotton to clean them with alcohol, so that the screen will not be black.

2. With regard to memory mixing, 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 a lot, on the contrary, there may be many problems. The principle of mixed memory insertion: insert low-standard and low-standard memory into the first memory slot (DIMM1).

3. When only one memory needs to be installed, the memory socket close to the CPU socket should be preferred. This has the advantage that the memory can be cleaned after being polluted by dust brought out by the CPU fan, but the socket is extremely difficult to clean after being polluted.

4. Install the memory stick. There are two claws on both sides of the DIMM slot. When the memory gap is aligned correctly and inserted in place, these two claws should automatically connect the memory? Bite? Live. There is only one gap on the gold finger of DDR memory, and the two sides of the gap are asymmetric, which corresponds to a rib on the DIMM memory slot, so the direction is easy to determine. For the previous SDR, there are two gaps, and it is easy to determine the direction, but SDR has gradually faded out of the market, so it is no harm to know; When pulling up the memory, just move the two claws outward, and the memory will automatically come out of the DIMM (or RIMM) slot.

Check memory labels: genuine Kingston memory labels are printed clearly and regularly, while fakes are obviously rough and light, and the fonts are relatively thin. In addition, the typesetting rules of the true and false Kingston memory labels are also very different, 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, which is in sharp contrast with the genuine ones. For a memory, PCB circuit board only accounts for about 1% of the memory cost, and memory particles are the key to determine the memory price. Therefore, usually fake PCBs are basically made by regular foundries, while the particles are made of jargon? White film? , which is what we call inferior products, is low in price, but poor in stability and compatibility.

check the registered trademark logo: the registered trademark of authentic Kingston? R? A circle composed of the English letters "KINGSTON" is clearly printed around it, while the fake is just a round box that is obviously copied at random. One more thing, after careful observation of the watermark inside the label, there are obvious traces at the junction between the fake memory watermark and KINGSTON font, which proves that it is post-printed, which will not appear in the genuine Kingston memory.

gold finger identification: the following is the gold finger of genuine Kingston memory. The gold finger in the authentic Kingston memory is pure in color, and the gold finger connection part in the purple box is plated with gold; The gold finger of the fake Kingston memory is slightly dim in color, and the joint of the gold finger in the red box is a copper piece of PCB board, which is not plated with gold.

font recognition on PCB: the left is genuine Kingston memory. Authentic Kingston memory has uniform fonts, no obvious size difference, and relevant certification symbols. Fake Kingston memory has different fonts and no relevant authentication symbols.

K-shaped label: This is a macro shot with a SLR camera, and at the same time, the flash is turned on to shoot the true and false label. The laser pattern of the genuine label can see dense silver powder particles, and the K-shaped label is not obvious, and the background is blue. However, the K character of counterfeit label is very obvious, and the density of silver powder particles is low.

flip the angle to check the anti-counterfeiting: the laser anti-counterfeiting label with genuine Kingston memory can present two patterns by changing the angle. The first pattern is silver powder effect on the upper half edge and half k stain on the lower half edge; The second pattern has a silver powder effect on the lower half edge and a half-K shape on the upper half edge. The counterfeit label has only one pattern, that is, the whole presents an obvious K word.
