Did I Buy Fake Ram Stick?

[MyLittleFella]

Hello everyone.

 

I used to have 2x4GB from Kingston, HyperX Fury. (HX424C15FB/4)

A few months back, I bought a single 1x16GB ram stick from the same model, but this time a HX424C15FB/16.

The problem is: Both of the 4GB sticks came with a user guide manual and a HyperX sticker when I bought 'em, although the 16GB stick didn't.
And now, I realised that the heat sink from this same module is installed differently from the my old 4GB ones, like the picture below:

(From first to last: 1x16 new one; 1x4 and 1x4 old ones)



Should I be worried? Everything works fine. XMP 2.0 is working, 2400Mhz is working, no bluescreens, I already ran memtest86 for 2 hours and no problems were related, and finally:
[NOTE: I removed the serial number from the pictures]

 

Everything seems to be ok according to CPU-Z and Taiphoon, but... You never know, right?
Anyhow, what you guys think? Should I be worried?

Little confused

 

If it's identified in software and performing as expected, are you just upset over the lack of accessories and packaging?

 

Appearance of products changes sometimes and that wouldn't bother me tbh

 

Maybe you got some kind of frustration free packaging?

 

Did you buy it from a shady place?

If it works i wouldn't worry. load up thaiphoon and see whats on there (just look), and then move on.

 

Also i'd get another stick because single channel is a downgrade in most tasks

Yeah I know, I actually created this thread because I want to upgrade to 32GB with another 16GB ram stick from the same model.

Sometimes using multiple sticks together from diffrent kits wont work even if they are the exact same model.

 

Be wary of that when buying anything extra, sometimes it's better to just buy the full kit in one go.

Exactly, but I'll give it a shot. This time, I'll buy from I place where, If I regret it, I can get a refound. Anyhow.... Let's find out.
