G.Skill Ram names showing difference (kbin.social)

I’ve recently been having some memory issues and my PC has been crashing. I’m running MemTest86 on each of my ram sticks and the first thing that sticks out to me is the Ram Config name for the stick. MemTest86 is showing it as “G Skill F4-3600C16-8GVKC” while the sticker on the ram stick shows “G Skill F4-3600C16D-16GVKC”. Is this something normal to see or is there something else going on here?

Did you find what was causing the crashing?

One of my ram sticks is shot. Tested each stick individually and only one of them had errors pop up. Will try to see if it’s covered under warranty since it’s only 2 years old.
