Kingston Hyper X Blu 8 GB (2x4GB Modules) 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 XMP Desktop Memory - KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX

I ordered two set of this memory. All four sticks of RAM have been very successful at tempraraly storing data in a way that is able to be recalled when the address of the specific blocks of data are pulled into the processors cache for use by the requesting running processes. I have not been able to identify any security flaws that exist with the memory outside those that are inharent to the architecture of the computer system they were designed to work in.As expected with all volitiale memory storage devices, when the computer is turned off the data that was stored in these memory chips are no longer available; it would probably be a good idea to store any data sequences that you would like to keep on a more perminant storage device like a hard drive before removing power from the memory. I don't consider this to be a flaw with the memory, but it is important to understand when you are using it for large amounts of data. The method of moving the data from the memory modules to disk should be considered as well; it would not be good practice to overload the memory and force the OS to write the data to a page file or swap partition that you would like to store permanently as the data would be very difficult to retreave from the disk after a system reboot.Overall the memory works as expected.

This particular RAM wasn't on the supported list for my motherboard, but due to the price, I took a chance and got it anyway. It arrived and got installed. My motherboard set it to run at 1066 by default, but it was easy to change the settings to get it clocked up to 1333 + a percentage based on my overclock settings, which is the max speed that my motherboard supports. Extensive testing has revealed no issues whatsoever. I am very happy with this purchase, and would gladly buy this product again at the same price point, if I was building another system for myself, or someone else.

First, I'm not an overclocker. This is not an overclocker review. I've primarily tested this ram on Intel H77 chipsets using third-generation Intel Core i3 processors.While this RAM may seem a bit of overkill for that kind of setup, I believe in choosing quality components that will stand the test of time. After flooding this ram with terrabytes of data (seriously), it hasn't let me down. I have many sets of this pairing of HyperX RAM, and they have all passed Windows Memory Diagnostic (on Extended) and Memtest-86+ several times over.

I bought this to use with an existing motherboard, which didn't work (not the RAM's fault, motherboard maker lies!!) so instead of replacing the RAM, i replaced the motherboard and processor, and that, coupled with this RAM is amazing. i5 processor, This RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 550 ti and I can play anything out right now, cranked up to extreme, load screens only take about a second, everything loads fast and smooth, and my rig is NOT top of the line by any means.

Very affordable! Great quality! I ran a stress test with Prime95 and these DIMMs work great. It has a small heat sink on it. I don't play any games on my PC. I installed these in a HP Pavilion desktop that I purchased in December 2012 (with an MSI motherboard in it).I would definitely recommend these DIMMs for anyone else. If I was to buy more DIMMs, these would be the one!

I'm sure the RAM is fine, but I wouldn't know. I tried two different models of HyperX RAM and neither would boot my computer at all.MAKE SURE YOUR COMP IS COMPATIBLE BEFORE BUYING ANY RAM! It's not just "Plug and Play", and I learned that the hard way even after being told it was.

Pros:1600MHz9-9-9-27 timings8gbBeautiful heat spreaderCons:1.65vNot overclock friendlyWants to run in JEDEC timings of CAS11 @ 1.5vOverclocking: I tried overclocking these to 1800/1866MHz @ 1.7v and windows wouldn't boot. Then I tried tightening up the timings and it still wouldn't boot (1.7v). I got them up to 1720MHz via the blck @ 107.5, but that is as far as I could push them (1.65v). If you are looking for DIMMs that are somewhat cheap and a lot more overclock friendly, don't go with these. I found that my Ballistix Sport DIMMs were a lot more friendly and am currently running them at 1866MHz with 10-10-10-27 timings @1.65v (i'm sure they can be stable at 2000/2133MHz with a little more voltage.)Overall, these DIMMs do exactly what they are suppose to do. As advertised, they can run at 9-9-9-27 timings @1.65v, but I had to put those timings into my bios memory configuration to get them to run at that speed. -1 star for that. Definitely a good product, especially for how good they look!

This ram worked great with my ASRock dual channel motherboard. Gave me a 7.6 rating in windows and made my PC ridiculously fast. I got mine before the hike in ram prices for under $50 so it was very much worth it and the increase in preformance pretty much spoke for itself. Kingston also has a lifetime warranty so you basically have no worries there. Kingston Hyperx RAM has become my go to. Very very happy with these
