nvmc Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Just wondering which ICs are in these modules. Did a whole load of searching, but to no avail. I would take the heatspreaders off and check myself, but I've seen too many horror stories of ICs getting ripped off the PCB in the process. I checked the thread linked in the sidebar, however there is no version number on the sticker.

BiZaZ Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 CMT6GX3M3A1866C9 v2.1 - says Elpida are these Hyper or BDBG ?
Yellowbeard Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 CMT6GX3M3A1866C9 v2.1 - says Elpida are these Hyper or BDBG ?There is no way to determine that other than to look at the ICs themselves.
BiZaZ Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Isn't there a system like the one on 1600C7 Dominators, for example? (2.1 = hypers, 2.2 = bbse, 2.3 = bdbg)

koalacarlo79 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Can i know what kind of chip is on CM3X8GSDKIT1066 ram? Is it Micron? How can i know what version is CM3X8GSDKIT1066? http://www.corsair.com/memory-3/industry-standard/ddr2/cm3x4gsd1066.html on the site don't say it? Edited January 21, 2011 by Wired merged posts

koalacarlo79 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 So i can't know what kind of chip work on this ram... only post buyed?
Wired Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Corsair's site does not list versions because it's irrelevant. "post buyed"? The only way to know what a memory's version number is by looking at the label of the stick itself. The list above probably doesn't correspond to laptop memory though. Why do you want to know the ICs for laptop memory?
koalacarlo79 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I want to buy corsair memory (CM3X8GSDKIT1066) to upgrade my notebook ... but i want to know what chip it use... i prefer micron chips...
Wired Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Just got confirmation that you should look for the 3.x series, however I've never heard of a store that'll guarantee the version.
borntowin Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Hi, buying this Corsair CMT12GX3M3A2000C9 ram soon. My local store here have the revision 5.11 and I was wondering what IC this revision are using. Thank you.

liberato87 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 hi i got a kit of DOMINATOR GT 1600 CL6 CMT6GX3M3A1600C6 rev 2.1 rev 2.1 are elpida hypers?? or what kind of elpida ic are them?
Wired Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 There is no more information available than what has already been posted.
Boki_ Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Are those chips using Elpida Hyper? CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 Ver. 2.1 They are on stock in one of webstores I buy, so I can't take the HS off and check for chips... It's 6GB kit, actually I'd need 4 or 8GB, because I've dual channel mobo ASUS Rampage Extreme + QX9770, so I'll just not use one of sticks. I've also noticed that some memory is ver 2.x and still not having elpida chips, how do I know for sure which are used? A friend of mine also took the HS off and have seen I think that PSC, while the memory was rev. 3.1 I think :SS What do I need to know 100%, part number + rev + any other number? Where can I get correct information, I need to buy new memory and have looking in few webstores, so all the information I have is part number, so I have to call and ask for revision or any other number beside revision? I need Micron D9GTR/GTS or Elpida Hyper and now I'm really confused of how to verify if there're really Elpida or Micron chips used :SS Sorry for my bad english. regards, Bogdan

There is no way of knowing if it is Hypers without looking at the ICs.
Boki_ Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Great thnx. I also won a bid on ebay, the seller also sent me a pics of stickers and here are the numbers: CM3X2048-1600C9DHX under this is XMS3-1600 ... 2048MB ... 1600MHz on the sticker on the other side: 9-9-9-24 ... 1.80V ver 3.2 ... 08290067 So those are with Micron IC's? Maybe do you know D9GTR/GTS? Thank you, best regards, Bogdan

Boki_ Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 OK, so there's 100% it's elpida for rev 2.x and Micron for 3.x, but not necessarily Hypers or D9GTR/GTS? What if on my friend's are Elpida Hyper and I get same model and rev, just a little difference in serial numbers, mine would be produced a little later, friends has "Corsair Dominator GT DHX+ TC 6GB (3 x 2GB) 2000Mhz CL8 DDR3" CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 Ver. 2.1 ... s/n 10190571 and mine are "Corsair Dominator GT DHX+ TC 6GB (3 x 2GB) 2000Mhz CL8 DDR3" CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 Ver. 2.1 ... s/n 10369532? Any chance of getting same ICs? Here's the pic: http://freeweb.siol.net/bblokar3/domgt.jpg Sorry for I'm being annoying:o::o:
Wired Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Correct, there's no way to guess / guarantee which IC you'd get.
Boki_ Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) OK, one more thing, it's no way that I could possibly get Hypers if I buy new in a webstore, else the stock is old? Because those I can get are from webstore from my country and are new, so there's Elpida but no Hypers right? When were they produced with hyper's or Micron D9GTR/GTS, I'll try to get them by date of being produced, I think that's probably the only way where's most possible to get those right? regards, Bogdan Edited May 15, 2011 by Wired removed bit against rules
Yellowbeard Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 There is NO WAY PERIOD AT ALL to try to guess what specific ICs are on any given module.
