   Why are people buying RAM from companies that don't even manufacture memory modules? Are you crazy?

     If it's not Samsung, Crucial/Micron, or Hynix, you're probably gonna get screwed. Don't do it.

     @tertle950 I don't even care about the sticker, Klevv is selling rebadged Hynix modules that probably came from a terrible batch that Hynix didn't want to put their own name on or they're being pushed beyond the safe limits. It's just dumb.
     
     People have no idea who makes their computer parts anymore and just assume because it's for sale on some website that it's safe. I remember when there were dozens of weird motherboard manufactuers hawking their products and they'd fail very quickly.
     
     Would you buy a CPU that wasn't Intel or AMD? If Klevv started selling AMDs that failed validation would people actually buy them? Probably, and that's the sad part.

     @p Corsair does not manufacture DRAM modules (the actual chips). Neither does GSkill.
