DDR4 ecc Wrong picture newegg order

[Soulkeeper]

I just ordered https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242273
figuring i'd get micron chips like in the picture.
Apparently the ones I got have skhynix chips on them.

Should I return them ?
My plan is to run 4 sticks of this in a ryzen system.

Why return them ?

 

[Soulkeeper]

you think the SKhynix chips will be just as good as the micron ones ?

you think the SKhynix chips will be just as good as the micron ones ?

Why wouldn't they be?

I am finding product photos of the KVR24E17D8/16 with either micron or skhynix chips, so it looks like Kingston doesn't guarantee/spec one or the other.

As long as you don't OC them, I'd expect either one to run to spec no problem.

It's possible you know something we don't about particular batches of skhynix DDR4 chips...?

I guess i'm just kinda afraid of issues after reading all the bios/mem problems people claim to be having with ryzen.

I do like to oc a little and stability test, so 2666 mem speed instead of 2400 might be a goal of mine

I think you should contact the help desk first

It seems i've failed to communicate.
I guess I was just wondering which is better ...
which can clock the highest, lowest voltage, best timings
But I guess nobody would know that, so i'm just going to have to try them out.
Or maybe i'm just too excited about my first new build in 6yrs and want to make sure everything is perfect.

Since the product is by Kingston, I would assume they apply the same standards to any chip provider they use. The chip maker is a sub-contractor in this case.

Usually requiring ECC means you're trading that for optimized pairs/quads with the best timings etc.

It is my understanding that if you wanted guaranteed Micron chips you should have gotten KVR24E17D8/16MA that say Micron A in the description. I have no idea whether the micron or skhynix chips are better though.

PS I wouldn't overclock these. They may overclock, but if you're buying ECC ram presumably you care more about stability and data integrity. If you want to overclock, just buy regular non-ECC ram.

PPS if you have ebay bucks coupon these are cheaper to buy through newegg ebay store.

thanks for the replies everyone
I'll get the rest of my parts on my bday next week
I guess i'll just keep the memory and give it a try
