How to detect USED vs New RAM?

takamura.ichi · Sep 23, 2018

Is there a way do determine if RAM modules have been used before?I found couple good deals for me.Sellers are saying their RAM kits are new, but in pictures they are out of boxes, so i can not take their words for facts.

Is there any technical way to detect if memory has been used before, beside obvious external dust/ware?

There is no technical way

It doesn't really matter. Memory module either works or doesn't.
Always assume, you may need to return the product. Discuss it with the seller.
Test the product before buying, if you can.

Not in the original sealed box = used.

Thank you for your answers,i will check everything before buying, but i'm afraid i will get old/near death RAM,because as i know memory has about 8 years lifetime, so i wouldn't be able to tell for how long it had been used before

That's not true.

I had a PC from 1994 to 2016 with the same RAM in it all the time. When it died, it was from dying HDD.
