How can I tell what my RAM specs are OUT OF THE PC (just by looking at it)

How can i tell what DDR it is and the speed etc. I have a semi-broken one that I don't really want to put back in my PC to see.

Checking which DDR version is just based on the shape of the stick, each one is keyed differently.
Other than that, you would have to find a model number to really know anything else.

Isn't there a model number on it? This is what it looks like https://i.imgur.com/ljscdep.jpg

Also how do u even find what it is when it is in your PC? [strike]People said cpu-z but that only shows the storage / mhz, not the model... [/strike] Seems its under SPD then pressing the slot, that helps.

Crucials detector sort of works, you kinda figure it out with its suggestions but it doesn't really tell you.

Regarding CpuZ, memory details is under SPD tab.

Edit, seen you figured CpuZ out.

If it came out of your working PC, then look at the motherboard manual to see what it supports.

I assume that you want to replace the broken one.

Edit: Nvm what I said. A user pointed out that the weird curve is actually how they are made https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/kvr21n15s8_8.pdf

If it wasn't supported though, why would it work? Now I'm even more weirded out cause I haven't crashed taking out 1 random stick...

Anyway, thats for another thread that I already have open, thanks for the support and boju for the solution/answer.
