I've decided that sooner or later this will definitely happen. 🚨

After we've reported fake Ram cases in the past, vendors took DDR2 and pasted labels or heat sink-like stickers to trick them into DDR5.

.

Most recently, a new case was found even more realistic when a user came forward to reveal that it had been tricked into selling DDR5 memory on Amazon, but upon receiving the product and checking it thoroughly, it was actually a DDR4 ram that was put on an external heat sink to look like DDR5.

.

This event mirrored opportunistic problems during a period when the memory market, DDR5 in particular, was facing heavy shortages and consistently rising prices, causing the online market to once again become the target of dishonest sellers.

.

The case was published on Reddit by a user named Leading-Growth-8361, who stated that he ordered a Corsair Vengeance DDR5 ram, but when he received the product, it was found that the ram could not fit on the DDR5 motherboard. The heat sink also looked unusually loose. On closer inspection, it was found that the groove position on the ram did not match the DDR5 standard, and when the heat sink was removed, it was actually a DDR4 ram. There was no brand stuffed as DDR5 to fool the sale.

.

According to experts, cheats like this are making a comeback because of the global crisis in short supply, causing the rapid rise in RAM prices, similar to the historical lack of screen cards, where hardware cheating has occurred frequently.

.

The Uniko's Hardware website recommends the simplest and safest way to check the notch position on the ram copper strip. Because DDR4 and DDR5 clearly have different groove positions and cannot fit together. If the product is received, it is found that the groove does not match the slot. Stop using it immediately and proceed to request a return without forcing installation.

.

Where Ram can fit by model, the user should check the specs again through the BIOS or software like CPU-Z and HWiNFO to check the SPD data, capacity, speed and model number, whether they match the goods ordered.

.

Despite this buyer being successfully reimbursed by Amazon, the incident is considered a major warning sign in an era of memory shortages; consumers need to be knowledgeable and thoroughly check their hardware every time, to avoid falling victim to the more realigned cheats in today's IT market.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ของผู้ใช้ที่พบแรม DDR5 ปลอม มีส่วนหนึ่งสำคัญที่อยากแนะนำคือการสังเกตตำแหน่งร่องบากบนแรมอย่างละเอียด เพราะ DDR4 และ DDR5 มีร่องบากที่แตกต่างกันอย่างชัดเจน ซึ่งสามารถตรวจสอบได้ง่ายโดยการเปรียบเทียบกับสเปกมาตรฐานหรือภาพตัวอย่างออนไลน์ นอกจากนี้ ควรตรวจสอบรายละเอียดของแรมผ่าน BIOS หรือโปรแกรมตรวจสอบฮาร์ดแวร์ เช่น CPU-Z หรือ HWiNFO เพื่อดูข้อมูล SPD รวมถึงความจุ ความเร็ว และหมายเลขรุ่น เพื่อยืนยันว่าสอดคล้องกับสินค้าที่สั่งซื้อจริง ในช่วงที่ตลาดแรม DDR5 กำลังขาดแคลนและราคาสูงเช่นนี้ การสั่งซื้อจากแหล่งที่เชื่อถือได้ รวมถึงการตรวจสอบสินค้าอย่างละเอียดเมื่อได้รับ เป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่ช่วยลดความเสี่ยง ส่วนตัวผมเอง เลือกซื้อแรมจากร้านค้าหรือเว็บไซต์ที่มีรีวิวและนโยบายคืนสินค้าที่ชัดเจน เพื่อความมั่นใจ หากได้รับสินค้าไม่ตรงกับสเปก จะได้สามารถขอคืนเงินหรือเปลี่ยนสินค้าได้ทันที หวังว่าข้อมูลเหล่านี้จะช่วยให้ผู้ที่กำลังมองหาแรม DDR5 ได้มีความระมัดระวังมากขึ้น และป้องกันไม่ให้โดนหลอกขายสินค้าปลอมในตลาดออนไลน์ เช่น Amazon หรือแพลตฟอร์มอื่นๆ
