SK Hynix DDR4 Date codes?


Recommended Posts

I've been keeping an inventory sheet of the parts that go into my file server, and one of the fields I record is MFG date.   For the dimms I have, I'm having trouble determining from the asset/date code when they were made..

 

Handle 0x0026, DMI type 17, 40 bytes
Memory Device
        Array Handle: 0x0022
        Error Information Handle: Not Provided
        Total Width: 72 bits
        Data Width: 64 bits
        Size: 16384 MB
        Form Factor: DIMM
        Set: None
        Locator: DIMMA2
        Bank Locator: P0_Node0_Channel0_Dimm1
        Type: DDR4
        Type Detail: Synchronous
        Speed: 2133 MT/s
        Manufacturer: Hynix Semiconductor
        Serial Number: 80B18971
        Asset Tag: (Date:15/36)
        Part Number: HMA42GR7MFR4N-TF
        Rank: 2
        Configured Clock Speed: 1866 MT/s
        Minimum Voltage: Unknown
        Maximum Voltage: Unknown
        Configured Voltage: 0.003 V

For the above, I can probably guess from the asset tag, that the DIMM was MFG in the 36th week of 2015. (15/36)  However, I have another DIMM with the following info

 

Handle 0x0028, DMI type 17, 40 bytes
Memory Device
        Array Handle: 0x0022
        Error Information Handle: Not Provided
        Total Width: 72 bits
        Data Width: 64 bits
        Size: 8192 MB
        Form Factor: DIMM
        Set: None
        Locator: DIMMB1
        Bank Locator: P0_Node0_Channel1_Dimm0
        Type: DDR4
        Type Detail: Synchronous
        Speed: 2133 MT/s
        Manufacturer: Hynix Semiconductor
        Serial Number: 3C1F49FA
        Asset Tag: (Date:17/76)
        Part Number: HMA41GR7MFR4N-TFTD
        Rank: 1
        Configured Clock Speed: 1866 MT/s
        Minimum Voltage: Unknown
        Maximum Voltage: Unknown
        Configured Voltage: 0.003 V

This throws things out the window, since there are only 52 weeks in a year...how could it be 76th week of 2017?   Could this be days?  (76th day of 2017?)  I've searched SK Hynix's site, as well as google for SK Hynix date codes, but am coming up short.  TIA!

Check the physical stickers on the DIMMs?

That would require powering down the file server, sliding it out of the rack and opening it up to check :)  Seeing as how knowing the date isn't super necessary, would rather find out via date codes if possible :)  Plus I think the stickers (if i recall) only had the part/model numbers on them.

    • Black Myth: Wukong hits Xbox this August, exactly a year after PlayStation launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Developer Game Science delivered one of the biggest action games of all time last year, with Black Myth: Wukong going on to sell tens of millions in its launch month and winning a multitude of awards. However, the title skipped out on a platform it was originally announced to launch in: Xbox. Following a long string of reasons and delays, it seems the port is finally coming to the platform. Today, Game Science announced that the Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth: Wukong now has a release date, with it landing on August 20, 2025. Pre-orders for the title will become available starting June 18. Interestingly, this Xbox release date is set exactly one year after the original release on PlayStation 5 and PC. Game Science originally stated that the delay was due to technical issues with Xbox consoles. However, Microsoft refuted that claim quickly and alluded that the delay was due to some sort of console exclusivity deal between Game Science and Sony. In today's announcement, Game Science once again says that the delay was due to its work on porting the game to Xbox and meeting its quality standards. "Bringing Black Myth: Wukong to Xbox Series X|S—and ensuring the experience met our internal quality standards—was no easy feat," said the studio today regarding the long delay on Xbox platforms. "Fortunately, we were able to complete this challenging task smoothly within the first year of the game's official release." "If you're an Xbox player who hasn't yet experienced the game on another platform, we're confident it will stand among the finest ARPGs available on Xbox," added Game Science. For those looking to jump into the game a little cheaper than usual, Game Science will be hosting Black Myth: Wukong's first-ever sale on June 18. The 20% off discount will be available across PC, PlayStation, and even the Microsoft Store for the Xbox Series X|S pre-order.
    • And where is "don't be evil"? Oh, yeah, they removed it, too.
    • YouTube isn't a monopoly, it's just the most popular video platform, but other options and competitors do exist. And I'm not defending YouTube here, I'm a subscriber to Geerling's channel and I like his content and YouTube clearly went too far with this, but they can't be considered a monopoly, IMO. https://www.captions.ai/blog-post/youtube-alternatives
    • Harmful to them because it affects their business. *Sigh*
