How do you tell what RAM chips your RAM has without seeing the actual chips?

I was wondering about the possibility of actually having Winbond chips in Corsair RAM as I have the Corsair TwinX 1024 DDR3200LL RAM and my system has been completely stable for a month and a half with no BSODs.  Granted, I have not yet overclocked, but Prime 95 and Memtest86 have also run flawlessly.  It seems that very few people have used this RAM with success.  In another post, senator mentioned that some older Corsair RAM had Winbond BH-5 IC chips or some other decent chips as opposed to the current not-so-good chips Corsair is using.  I swear that I saw Winbond on some screen on my PC, but don't remember where.  I checked out Corsair's website, but didn't find anything useful at first glance.  I pulled a stick of my RAM out to look at, as I thought that maybe removing the metal clip might allow removal of the heatspreaders, but it does not.  Does anyone know any other way to tell what RAM chips you have without actually seeing the chips?

There should be some numbers on the heatspreader, take a look. I found the answer to your question.

XMS3200C2 Rev 1.1 uses -6 Rev B
XMS3500C2 uses -5 Rev B (only rev. 1.1 exists)
XMS3200LL Rev 1.1 uses -5 Rev B
Subsequent versions 1.2 and 2.2, have been produced with CH-6 ICs

  • TES 6.1.x - how do you tell what DB is used by ClientMgr?

    We just externalized the Client Mgr DB to Oracle, updated config files, etc. How do you tell what db is using - Derby or Oracle?        

    After you externalize the CM database, you should see the db objects (tables and views) in the database are now created shortly after you start the CM service.
    You can verify creation of database objects in the actual database and in the plugin log upon start-up. This log can be found  under the ../ClientManager/plugin/tes-6.0/log directory

    How can I tell what week my computer was manufactured? My serial number is [..snipped...]. Week 19 translates to what month?
    Thank you

    Someone, somewhere could theoretically, trace your serial number to your name, address and maybe even how you paid for your computer. I recently had my identity cloned in Mexico. I wouldn’t think of posting any unnecessary information on any website. But that’s just me.

  • How can you tell what version of Quicktime you have?

    How do you determine what version of Quicktime you have on your computer? What version do you need for a new 30G Video iPod? How do you upgrade versions, if necessary?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    iPod mini for windows   Windows XP  

    Open a QT document and use the Help menu, where you should see an item labeled (I believe) About Quicktime Player. That should tell you the version running the player.
    You need QT Pro and QT 7 to have a preset for iPod video. You probably can use QT 6 if you use these settings in making an mpeg-4 video:
    "MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480x480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats<<
    QT 7 is available for download from the Apple site by clicking on
    "Quicktime" in the Purple banner above

  • How can you tell what GB a handset is...I'm buying iphone6 second hand

    HHow can you tell what GB is in an iPhone 6 ....I'm buying second hand

    the most reliable way is to go on the phone and tap
    Settings/General/About - that will tell you the capacity (among other things)
    but remember the actual space wont be what Apple advertises - my 128 GB iPhone 6 + says it has 114 gb of space - there is formatting and the operating system to take into account
    the size is also printed on the back of the original box but unless you have the phone and get get the serial number off the phone (which is in that same location) you cant be sure the box is from the phone you are trying to buy
