Question is Atech RAM good ?

[Nate926493]

Ok so the cheapest ram I could find on eBay was Atech and my motherboard supports ddr4 (I’m new to PCs btw). Is this a reputable ram company and good for gaming? And also is all ddr4 ram compatible with my motherboard? (It’s a asrock b450m pro4)

You might want to parse the link to the rams you're looking at. I'd avoid getting the cheapest generic, non popular branded rams due to the possibility that they're cheap for a reason, that they're unstable in certain scenario's and they have lack luster build quality. Every part in a system go hand in hand. If you have bad quality ram or bad ram sticks, you end up with instability issues. In fact without ram, you won't get the system to boot and enter BIOS.

Might want to list the specs to your build to understand what sort of ram is bets for your platform. As a side note, include the make and model of your PSU(if it's recycled then it's age and what it powered prior to this thread). Adding a location, preferred site for purchase and a budget for your ram purchase will also aid us in providing suggestions.

Here's a quote from A-tech profile at Newegg:

"We aggressively price shop a large percentage of 3rd party manufacturers for assembly of our original A-Tech branded memory. However, we never compromise the quality of the chips in our products and only use A grade major brand original chips, or our own hand selected A-Tech branded chips. Older generations of A-Tech branded memory can also include relabeled, original modules from Samsung, Hynix, and Micron with new condition boards and chips.

We have a very unique supply chain that allows us to incorporate overstocks, liquidations, open box/sealed returns, pulls from brand new systems, and memory in physically new condition from bulk purchases and a vast broker network. We are a large distributor of other brands of memory, as well. We pride ourselves in carrying the largest selection of brands and part numbers in stock."

So it seems from reading this A-tech gets their memory from just about anywhere and everywhere. I'm not too crazy about the fact they may use open box and returned items, but I guess that depends on how good their QC is.

So to me it seems like Atech is just rebranded ram from anywhere they can get it. Right?
