Does fake kingston hyperx Ram exist?

[Ojomojoyolo]

I bought a new blue 8gb ddr3 hyperx memory, packaging and all, but I'm a little worried because there's a wierd sticker on it that reads JXia followed by chinese writing, found next to the warranty sticker . Also the whole box is in chinese. I wish i could include the picture. Thanks in advance

I'll say what it exactly has written "assy in Taiwan"

Sorry the site's a little clunky on mobile or its just my phone. Anyway, i live in a rural country (Mongolia) which doesn't have too many reputable stores. I bought it on a computer hardware market. Pretty much the only computer hardware market in the country

guess you are kind of stuck with it any way then

still as long as it actually works should be ok

If it doesn't have labels like in the images then it might be a fake, clearly the fact they have gone to this effort proves that fake RAM exists.

I think the main point is, does the memory work as stated in relation to the speed, timing values, and correct voltages.
With Xmp memory mode enabled, and when inserted into a free memory slot of your motherboard.

Kingston and many other memory module companies sell there modules from country to country.
Most of the memory chips used or fabricated fitted to each memory module are manufactured in China anyway.

So it is highly unlikely it is fake if you payed the going price for the capacity, size of the memory stick and the type of DDR ram it has on board the memory stick.

China is used for assembly of electronics or devices.
The raw components used may not of been manufactured in China for example to do with the memory chips them self used on the circuit board, and can be produced in Japan or Thailand as an example.

Then sent to china for cheaper component assembly, via cheap labour.

But are fake ones out there? It looks really neat but that JXia sticker is just.

Ok thanks

 

[mcnumpty23]

yes there will be fakes ones somewhere

but quite honestly if you are in mongolia then its very likely to have been made in china even if its genuine

and likely to have been bought in china to resell in mongolia
