I’m looking for a program that can tell me the manufacturer of the modules on my dram. I’m not talking about the pcb/heatspreder manufacturer, but the actual modules. I want to find out whether it’s micron, Hynix or Samsung memory. Thanks for the answers.

@SkyNetRising that's just the manufacturer/brand of whoever made the DIMM. It seems the OP wants to see the manufacturer of the actual memory ICs.

@Jawd000 I'm not sure that information is reported in software utilities. If you're able to see the chips on your DIMMs (i.e. don't have a heatspreader, or it's removable), you may be able to just read off the model number printed on one of the DRAM packages and google it.

Edit: could give this a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/616gck/fyi_easy_way_to_check_ram_manufacturer/

Yes it shows the manufacturer of the PCB/Heatspreader not the actual memory modules. It says Corsair, but since corsair is not a semiconductor manufacturer, that doesn’t apply to the memory chips themselves.

download the portable HWINFO from their site. It shows my notebook as Crucial, which it is.

I just tested it on two other machines and it reports the brand of the memory modules accurately.

HWiNFO is the utility. Here is from a real workstation below.

Module Number: 0
Module Size: 4 GBytes
Memory Type: DDR3 SDRAM
Module Type: Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM)
Memory Speed: 933.7 MHz (DDR3-1867 / PC3-14900)
Module Manufacturer: G Skill
Module Part Number: F3-14900CL9-4GBXL
Module Revision: 0
Module Serial Number: 0
Module Manufacturing Date: Year: 2000, Week: 0
Module Manufacturing Location: 0
SDRAM Manufacturer: G Skill
Error Check/Correction: None

Same as above, Crucial is a brand of DIMMs, not memory ICs. In the case of Crucial we know that the actual memory IC manufacturer is Micron (as Crucial is a brand that Micron owns and uses to sell their memory products), but for other memory brands it's not that easy.

Edit: Case in point, in your example it lists G Skill as manufacturer, but G Skill does not manufacturer their own DRAM chips.

It will tell you absolutely everything you wish to know about your memory, both DIMM's and the RAM die. Not only manufacturer but the DRAM part no's, die type and density as well as lot-date code data IF it's been loaded to the appropriate SPD fields by the mfr.

The 'free' version has no update to SPD capability so it seems pretty safe to me, even if it looks a bit daunting.

This information can be pulled by HWINFO64 if it has been encoded into the SPD by the Module Manufacturer (eg, G.Skill, Corsair, Crucial, Kingston). However, many module manufacturers omit DRAM manufacturer information from the SPD for marketing reasons.
