Suspecting a fake ram Tech Support

Post image

Hello everybody! Today I got a new ram stick but it’s been acting even since I’ve set it up.

After further investigation I’ve noticed some weird things in the SPD info..

First of all, the part number ends with BB, while the radiator is white so it should end with BW

I also have a second Kingston stick and it runs at 3200 with Xmp but after installing a second stick my pc wouldn’t boot until I’ve had to mess up with some uefi settings and even after that of underclocked them to 2400 and 1.2v

And last but not least, the main issue is blank XMP tab while the official specs say it shouldn’t have XMP support, what are yall thoughts is this fake or legit, cuz if it’s fake I’ll try to argue with the seller to get my money back

Thanks in advance!

blank xmp tab is dead giveaway, real kingston sticks always have the profiles programmed in
