G.Skill Ram names showing difference
G.Skill Ram names showing difference
I’ve recently been having some memory issues and my PC has been crashing. I’m running MemTest86 on each of my ram sticks and the first thing that sticks out to me is the Ram Config name for the stick. MemTest86 is showing it as “G Skill F4-3600C16-8GVKC” while the sticker on the ram stick shows “G Skill F4-3600C16D-16GVKC”. Is this something normal to see or is there something else going on here?
The 16 on the stick is because it's sold as a 16g kit, and the 8 on the internal name is because that stick is an 8gb stick. Yes, this is common
4This is what I was thinking but definitely reassuring to hear. Thanks!

Did you find what was causing the crashing?
2One of my ram sticks is shot. Tested each stick individually and only one of them had errors pop up. Will try to see if it’s covered under warranty since it’s only 2 years old.

Are the serial numbers in order? Slot #0 with the earliest serial number, slot #1 with the with next?
