How to check the authenticity of modern memory and distinguish the authenticity of memory

Kingston's official ** provides authenticity verification of memory modules.

You can see the corresponding icon at the bottom left foot of the home page, click to enter the one-minute authenticity page.

Click on that page"Verify the memory product here"link, you can see that Kingston provides two ways to identify memory: the visual method and the one-minute online identification, and we need to use the second method. Because the first visual inspection method may not be very accurate due to the updated version of the Kingston memory PCB, the online identification method is more accurate by the serial number on the memory.

The use of one-minute online identification is to identify the authenticity of the memory by entering the customer's email address and the relevant number of the memory he has purchased, and Kingston's official homepage will send a confirmation email confirming whether the memory is Kingston** memory.

Kingston's official memory authenticity identification method.

As the world's largest memory manufacturer, Kingston has considered the possible problem of counterfeit goods from the beginning of the product on the market, and has established a set of Kingston memory authenticity identification online query system based on the unique ID number of each memory. Therefore, the unmistakable Kingston memory identified through this official anti-counterfeiting method must be genuine.

Next, let's take a look at the operation method of this official kingston authenticity identification scheme:

First, unpack the Kingston memory and look for a size label on the memory module.

align=center border=1>

Next, log in to Kingston Memory Verification**.

align=center border=1>

Step 3: Fill in the ID shown on the label. (For example:.)

Step 4: Fill in the serial number as it appears on the label. (For example: 1234567-1234567).

Step 5: Fill in the serial number again to confirm.

Step 6: Fill in your email address.

Step 7: Fill in your email address again to confirm.

Step 8: Fill in the name of the store where you purchased the memory.

Step 9: Fill in the date of purchase.

Step 10: Please double-check all the information you have entered. Click the "Submit" button to start the verification.

Next, Kingston will send the memory verification to the designated e-mail address within a few minutes, all you have to do is wait for a reply.

Through the above method, you can completely and reliably verify the authenticity of the Kingston memory you have purchased, if the verification information is false, hum then we can go to those JS to settle accounts.

Generally speaking, this is the case, Apacer or Jinbang does not have a fake, and other brands such as ADATA or Kingston have fakes. Forget about the inspection, generally people who are not very professional can't see much difference with the naked eye.

When you bought it, you asked clearly, and the general genuine memory provides a lifetime warranty. As long as you don't provide this, it's basically fake. Or miscellaneous brands.

Modern memory doesn't need to be checked, it's all fake, and it's produced by a cottage factory, so there's nothing to check.

There should be an anti-counterfeiting logo on it, you go to the official website to check.

Looking at the process of its welding joints, ordinary people can't see it.

How to identify:

Look at the granular information.

The most obvious thing on the memory is the particles on it, the memory particles on the ** are smooth and flat, and the text is printed relatively clearly. There are many fine friction marks on the imitation particles, the surface is not very smooth, and there are text errors. **The text below is "kor", but there is an error in the spelling of the text below the fake that it is actually written as "korea".

Memory side. Next, look at the side of the memory chip, and the first difference is that there are many capacitor groups under the memory chip. But the capacitor group of fakes, needless to say, is the lonely one, and the others are omitted. In addition, the spacing of the side pins is relatively large, but the pin spacing of the imitation is relatively dense, exposing the true face of the fake.

Discern the details. By looking closely at the memory chip, this is where I draw the circle. **There is a positioning pit in the lower corner, which is used to fix the particles, and it is relatively clear on the surface. On the fake modern memory chip, the pit is gone, I don't know if it is not there in the first place, or because the surface is coated with a layer of paint.

When purchasing, if there are no pits on the chip or it is not clear, then it is necessary to carefully consider whether to buy it.

The difference between gold fingers.

**In terms of workmanship, it is more particular, so I did not let go of a detail. **Gold finger due to the material and workmanship are better, so the surface looks neat and tidy, without any scratches. The workmanship of the imitation is relatively rough, and the surface has begun to oxidize, and the wear is more serious.

In addition, we see that the outside of the gold finger of ** is protruding from a small piece. However, the imitation is directly all parallel, which shows that there is no intention in terms of workmanship.

Durability aspect.

When buying electronic products, in addition to looking at the brand, the most important thing is to look at the durability, because no one wants to replace it from time to time when using it. **Modern memory quality is nothing to say, durability is excellent. However, due to the low cost and the workmanship of fake goods, there are often problems and they must be replaced.

Not only is it a waste of time, but the mood will also become worse.

Teach you to discern Kingston memory.

1. Identify the authenticity through the sealing sticker.

Currently, all Kingston memory labeled as "Made in Taiwan" is a fake.

At present, the parameters marked on the seal of the **Kingston memory on the market are very concise and to the point, with only three lines, namely the product model, product type, and production location! However, the parameters marked on the seal of the fake Kingston memory are very numerous, with a total of five lines, of which in addition to the product model, product type, and production place marked on the seal of the **Kingston memory, there are also two more lines of English annotations.

Second, the identification of real and false sealing stickers:

**The barcode on the Kingston memory closure is printed with a numerical serial number, while the vast majority of fakes have the product model number printed on the barcode on the Kingston memory closure. Regardless of the product, the barcode is made up of a combination of three black lines of different widths

The printing quality of the sealing parameters on the fake Kingston memory is relatively rough, and the fonts are all bold, but the product model is slightly different from other parameters in terms of font size. The printing quality of the sealing parameters of Kingston memory is more fine, and the difference between its product model and other parameters in addition to the font size, there is also the difference in font, the general product model is bold, and other parameters are ordinary fonts.

The identification of true and false color changing anti-counterfeiting stickers is to look at the small "R" on the side of the Kingston English trademark on the anti-counterfeiting sticker, ** The small "R" of Kingston's memory is surrounded by the anti-counterfeiting technology of microprinting text used in the dollar, that is: the circle around the small "R" is surrounded by two complete Kingston English words, and the corners of the letters are clear. And because the anti-counterfeiting technology of the microprinted text used in this dollar is very advanced, and it is impossible to easily non-imitate, therefore, the small "R" on the imitation of the anti-counterfeiting sticker we will change color is surrounded by ordinary circles.

Identification of real and false memory PCBs and particles:

Kingston memory chips are printed on the original model of the Hyundai D43 or Winbond BH5 chips.

Since the production serial number of the memory particle is engraved before the particle model, after the process of marking the particle model again, the color of the character will appear slightly lighter, and the font of the production serial number is also obviously different from the font of the particle model on the post-engraving.

Compared with other manufacturers, Kingston's memory module has an obvious advantage, each product has a unique serial number, that is, the SN code, you can find it on the packaging of the product, and then call the official **, or log on to the official website to directly check whether **.

(1) Pay attention to the thickness of the memory PCB.

2) Pay attention to memory workmanship.

It mainly depends on whether the solder joints on the PCB are firm and shiny, and whether the layout of the original is neat. , whether there are too many empty solder bits on the PCB board.

3) Check the SPD information.

Brand memory generally has a small chip, which stores the relevant parameters of the memory, and this chip is the SPD chip of the memory.

The chip does not affect the normal operation of the memory, and some miscellaneous memory or polished memory does not have this chip.

It's easy to tell.

4) Observe the memory gold finger.

When purchasing, you should pay attention to whether the gold finger is shiny, and if it is dull, you should buy it with caution.

5) Choose products that are well-known.

When you go to buy, you can call** to ask, there is that ** on the memory module, and you can log in to Kingston**, enter the serial number to check whether it is ** memory module.

Modern memory is not real in the market, it is all assembled in handicraft workshops, and it is cheap. Really original modern, ** very expensive, the difference between the two is a few times of roller skating.

2. Now the most fake memory belongs to Kingston, don't try to identify fake Kingston memory, because you can't see the difference from the appearance, including anti-counterfeiting labels, color-changing labels, and even anti-counterfeiting** are all done (as long as you spend money, you can do it). It is recommended to buy other brands such as Yuzhan, Black King Kong, etc., the quality is not inferior to Kingston at all, and there are no fakes.

3. Finally, if you really want to buy Kingston Rolling Sail, you will go to your province and region to get it, they dare not sell fakes, and it is naturally more expensive.

4. Now 80% of boxed CPUs are fake boxes, and I've seen them sell a bunch of old boxes and CPUs over the counter. Just buy a CPU and scatter it.

Kingston Memory Authenticity Identification Method:

The following 5 must be met at the same time to be Kingston**.

1.**The solder joints on Kingston's memory circuit board have anti-oxidation gold plating, and there is no gold plating in order to save costs.

2.The 30-digit serial number on the Kingston label can be verified on **.

3.There is a serial number on the side of the board, with 4-7 bits matching the 30-digit serial number 4-7 bits on the label.

4.The letter R in the upper right corner of the Kingston logo on the Kingston label is surrounded by the word Kingston, not a circle.

5.Kingston's total ** label can be verified after it is revealed.

6.The number of memory particles on each memory will not be exactly the same, so please identify them carefully.

It should be noted that Kingston Chinese mainland only has the following early imitations**.

Avnet, Bixin, Hengying, Junhe, Laser, Long Ansheng, Yaxun, and any other labels are fakes, and the common ones in the market are Hengying and Junhe.

Authorized**Official anti-counterfeiting mark of the merchant**.
