It's probably a 24Gbit density IC based RDIMM, Hynix has these already HMCGM4MEBRB237N HYNIX 96GB 2RX4 PC5-4800B DDR5 EC4 MEMORY RDIMM (1x96GB) | eBay and even regular consumers can observe the same ICs in overclockable sticks from G.skill etc. Surprised Samsung had a 24Gbit unannounced though... ID would be possible via Samsung's product guide except there doesn't seem to be one for DDR5 yet (they exist for DDR4 and older). If you could obtain a photo of the stuff (with the serial blurred out if necessary) that would be super awesome for the RAM community here and off-platform (Discord, Reddit etc.)

That's the thing though: I agree with your idea. However, I can't agree with those who jumped to conclusions too soon (and that's what I meant by "alleged" pirates).

Gotta love how this whole thread nearly turned into alleged piracy supporter bash festival. Not the first time, not the last time. I digress.

Linustechtips.com itself just JUST unfreezed for me...

Please consider adding the FSP Hexa 85+ / Raider II to your "to-do" list And looking at the marketing materials on FSP's page, the Hyper M85+ seems to be about the same (FSP being FSP with all the countless rebrands). Very curious and affordable models imho, the most "modern" Hexa and the Raider that looks the most passable of all Raiders. I've managed to find this teardown of the Raider from fellow Lithuanian chaps: http://www.elektronika.lt/produktai/kompiuteriai/61032/kiek-fsp-pasistumejo-per-5-metus-fsp-raider-ii-750-w-apzvalga/ It's suspiciously "too" Japanese inside, I'd imagine some cost-down measurements could've been taken in later batches As for the Hexa, FFCossag on Youtube did a teardown and a fan tweak for that model. I'm no electronics engineer (yet ) but I reckon these would all be around Tier C. And to whom it may concern (I think there are some concerned users, maybe this will hit the search for them), there's one point about Chieftecs I've dug out. Most of them are either bare CWT or bare Sirtec rebrands (the changes are minimal) but here's a catch -- there have been recent reports from Russia&CIS that the bastards at Chieftec are engaged in bait&switch. Most of the reputable (imo) Chieftec reviews I've seen come from GECID in Russian, and there are quite a few Chieftecs that are very decent according to those. Yet again, who knows what we are getting... maaaayybe Europe is getting better stuff than the former bloc, I dunno. I've also found a Russian spreadsheet kind of list where PSUs available in the post-Soviet market are all shown with the corresponding platform names, regulation principles, caps and other electronic components, ripple levels etc. Not exactly "ranked" or "tiered", just shown. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bEcFiMdLWPtPu3c1JsvsLIbcYANlLUVO1ICQdh-jxsg/htmlview updated on a regular basis (as of now ) Again, from what I see it's all based on initial (early batch?) reviews and in some distinct cases, customer reviews with teardown pictures and measurements on online store pages (yup it's a thing in Russia ). Thus, I guess some discrepancy is to be expected. Shout out to hrdCore for the spreadsheet and impressive community help (если ты это читаешь, сорян, что без спросу ). No affiliation but I think this may come in handy for Eurasian users. Chieftecs and other such curiosities are probably quite a pain to find elsewhere, nor is there a valid reason to do so imho. After all, many of you have lots of Corsairs and EVGAs for two thirds their European prices

Stefan has a great point bout the S12 but still ?? Imho when you're analyzing the budget segment, it's always a choice between: 1) 100% ticking time bombs, no matter the fan paint, RGB backlight or absence thereof 2) old (up to early 2000s) "meh" design + Ching Chong Cheng Chang Chengx Changx Chenxing Chhsi crapacitors ? 3) premium brand + 2005 design, outdated schematic, some missing goodies + good Jap caps (it's the S12II and various derivatives ?, not touching the S12III here because that's very likely a complete turd -- outsourced to Xi Jing Ping knows what factory (RSY or XHY, I forgot ..?), completely unknown internal layout etc. and the first reports are anything but promising) 4) modern design, DC-DC all over, over9000 different protections + Capxon and maybe Teapo and mayyybe one lonely Jap bulk cap in the primary Being 1 millimeter closer to the expert status (the whole journey is a thousand miles, I'm not even on the 2nd one yet ?) than 2 yrs ago, I now get the idea that caps AREN'T everything. By a huge margin. But even the cheapskate (ultra-budget) Russian enthusiasts, squeezing out every last bang out of every kopeika -- and sorry 99 Plus Unobtainium Corsair fanatics, I've got every reason available to believe their words -- suggest that if you DO buy that "grey bucket" FSP PNR for 2-2.5K RUB (that's around 30 Euros, higher than the CX on sale&rebate in Murica ?) everyone recommends, you'll very likely want to recap all those Crapxons in 3-5 years. That can be a major nuisance. And that you ought to stay away from the maximum load -- who knows how the electronics are going to sustain that powaaaar and what the protections will say about that. Many units stop at SCP, OVP and UVP. Is all. Want more - pay more ? /rant Sorry for interrupting, haven't really written anything here before ? Consider this an introduction. (Focus+ Gold 550W user, Sep 2017 batch, thinking the only difference from newer revisions is Nippon Chemi instead of Hitachi as a bulk cap and a different OCP configuration. I'm also lazy, will add rig specs later ?)
