afrin Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I've searched the forum, but i did not find definitive answer what the "ver"on memory modules mean. I have two pretty basic kits of 6Gb ( TR3X6G1333C9 ), one say ver2.3 and the other ver8.1 ver2.3 # 1291413 ... ver8.1 # 1702930 ... What is the significance of the verX.X parameter, and if a rule can be applied is higher ver. better or ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 To the left of every page is a DDR IC Inquiry link. These links show the version number and what ICs are used to produce the memory module. Click on the DDR3 link to see current RAM ICs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Version does not determine higher or better. All modules are guaranteed to meet their specifications regardless of version number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Also, no, the version number has NOTHING to do with WHEN they were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrin Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks. I've found the IC specs, but still was not sure at 100% that this is what the ver. describes ( the guide designates v. so i thought that they may be diff. and ver.X.X has something to do with the board itself. like revision ) I understand that it doesn't matter what IC's are used all modules will perform as stated ( well we all know that some IC will outperform others when OC ) and it's very good that Corsair has found a way to designate the IC's used ( at least Brand ) so no heat spreader will be harmed :) I guess there is no public way of viewing the exact IC's used in part number ( just for information ) without removing the heat spreader? Thanks again for your help. Especially Trackrat ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey, I charge extra if my info. is actually correct. ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing the heat spreader would void the warranty and possibly damage the memory module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Correct, only the manufacturer of the IC, not the IC itself. Removing the heat spreader would void the warranty and possibly damage the memory module. ...and NOT make the memory OC any better than if you didn't know what ICs it used. ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
