Ram listed as unknown

[Guest]

Hello my RAM is listed as unknown but I still can read that it is 16gb 8x2 doesnt anyone know what could possibly be causing this?

Where is it listed as being unknown?

Try using CPU-Z to identify the specifics of the RAM. Mine also shows as Unknown in Windows Task Manager, but CPU-Z (SPD Tab) properly identifies it.

Cpu-Z also fails to identify my ram but everything is listed as normally working.

I've used everything from userbenchmark to Cpu-Z to Speccy.. Oh well then I guess that'll be a slight annoyance in the future

The modules SPD chips probably don't contain details of the modules, that is most likely why detailed memory module information is not available.

The modules are presumably a "generic" brand, as these are more likely to have little or no memory details stored in SPD chips.

So I'm fine and I shouldn't worry if the Ram is performing ok?

As the memory works OK, then there is no real concern.

You could try Passmark PerformanceTest (free 30 day trial), but if the other software didn't identify the RAM specs, then perhaps Passmark wouldn't either.

Someone said my Ram was made by G.Skill but then EVGA rebranded it and removed the HW ID.
Could this be possible as well?

Download Thaiphoon burner and see what that says about your ram, if possible, post a screen shot of Thaiphoon http://www.softnology.biz/files.html

Doubtful.

The "Kingston" marking on the memory chips means that the chips were actually manufactured by a memory chip manufacturer (and not manufactured by Kingston as they only manufacture memory modules) and the Kingston name just stamped on the memory chips.

The Kingston stamped memory chips are usually only used on memory modules manufactured by Kingston, and are not usually used by other memory module manufacturers.
