List of chips used on DDR2 RAM modules

[benniebeeker]

What chips are being used in Crucial Ballistix single sided PC2 6400? They have the same part number as the double sided, not the same ram.

im interested in finding this out as well... anyone???

Arrived today from the egg -

GSkill F2-8500CL5D-2GBHK

D9GMH

Roon how do you determine the date on the IC in the photo above?

BTW - awesome work on the list. I have used it several times to make purchases and it's always helped.

Simply by looking at the 8AD12 marking on them.

8 = 2008
A = week 2
D = die revision
1 = diffusion took place in USA
2 = encapsulation took place in Singapore

BTW - awesome work on the list. I have used it several times to make purchases and it's always helped.

Thanks. Glad to hear that.

Thanks for the info roon. Now to check the info on my other sticks.

Here are a couple of links to get you started.

• Micron.com » FBGA Product Mark/Label Information (pdf)
• Micron.com » Date Codes for FBGA-Packaged Components (pdf)

Thanks so much, those are very helpful.

What happened to the link mentioned in post #1???
Is there a decent alternative? techpowerUp and GoriLLaKoS did a great effort but never matched the longtitude and accuracy or lay-out of that list..

Nothing?

Many facturers changed to PSC Chips for Example Crucials BallistiX 800 & 1066 are using PSC now. Also OCZ's 1066 SLi Readys and several other Memory producers. D9 Chips are becoming rare in these days and it's not easy to keep such a list actual in this time. DDR3 is upcoming and the feedback for DDR2 is decreasing.

Just to inform you guys: As of tomorrow my RAM Lists will be offline for an unknown period of time.
I'm moving the server to another location and because I don't expect to be updating them a lot these days, you can use the Google cached version until they're up and running again.

Google cache: DDR2 RAM List
Google cache: DDR3 RAM List

Best regards.

[activated1]

When will the site be back online? Because the chached version doesn't work either

[SquidgyB]

same question here, does anyone happen to have a screenshot or a downloaded copy of the ddr3 list?

[By0T0xN]

Google cache isn't working anymore. Anyone heard anything about when the site will be back up? r00n are you still going to support this on a new server?

[Rone]

r00n are you still going to support this on a new server?

Yes, I am. In the meantime I put the website on a temporary server:

http://ramlist.infinityx.nl/
http://ramlist.infinityx.nl/ddr/
http://ramlist.infinityx.nl/ddr2/
http://ramlist.infinityx.nl/ddr3/

[By0T0xN]

Thanks r00n, I needed that. You're awesome man.

I hate to multi post this, but this seems like as good as place as any...

What IC's are used on OCZ PC26400 SLi Edition ram sticks? I don't see them on the list and I'm trying to find out for a person.

[sabinus]

Could you tell me what chips should theese be?

Thank you

Anyone know the ICs being used in the Mushkin ascents?

Powerchips & wait for it...

More Powerchips!

Look at their dimensions, the size of the A1-dot and the P/N ending with xx3G.
This all points to Powerchip, so that might help you identify similar ICs in the future.

more specific as to which powerchips, I knew they were a powerchips, but what exact model has been kept "need to know"

I'd be happy to hear the same info; agreed.

I'd mainly be interested in what default speed bins the different ones are...but i've yet to find any info at all.

r00n is the man who would know.

[Rone]

Well, that's the problem. Powerchip ICs always have a P/N that ends with 3G, and my guess would be that the two characters before that indicate their density, like 512Mbit or 1Gbit.
In case of these Mushkin modules the Powerchip ICs have a P/N ending with AA3G, whereas older Powerchip ICs had L93G, for example. But I can't make up anything from the rest.

On top of that, the Powerchip website doesn't list 1Gbit chips, although the joint venture between Powerchip and Elpida owns one of the largest 12" wafer facilities for DRAM production in Taiwan.
You would at least expect a more updated website...

Bottom line is: I really don't know, but it doesn't matter too much because most of their chips tend to have similar overclocks.

I still have a pair of the original G.Skill PC2-8000 HZ, 4-4-4-5 @ 2.2v been sitting in a box for about a year because my IP-35 Pro doesn't want to know them. D9GKX naturally, served me well for over a year always fan cooled. Are they worth much these days?
