    On Samsung sticks, I thought those numbers were time codes YYWW. One was made in week 44 of 2014, the other in week 29 of the same year. Let me know if it stands for something else. What's the issue you're having?

    @cmplxcarlo maybe the chips are made in another country but the sticks are manufactured in ph?

    On modern systems you can usually use any combination of sticks and probably still run them in dual channel. Are you sure you don't just have a bent/broken pin somewhere?

    Hmmm Well... PC3L tells me that these are low voltage DDR3 modules.
    Not all Mainboards can handle that ...

    Can't read the rest of the stickers :-/ sorry

    So my point was, running those in a laptop will might be fine. Most likely.
    But as these looks like DIMM modules i asume you put those in your desktop.

    Running Low.Voltage modules with normal voltage modules combined will not work.
    So if there are more modules installed, check the types of those.

    Thoose are not for laptop but full side DDR3 ECC sticks, the one in the bottom works.

    @devTea
    So what kind of ram would you buy in this case?
  • 1
    @Linux I mean when I buy 2x8GB RAM, if you bought each of them sepparately the only thing I need to check is that 12800 number

    EDIT: I have also mixed those pair when my company was installing an internet cafe with a lot of computer and a lot of double RAM
