Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

ASR is an energy-saving technology from the distant 2022, why it is not supported in the modules of 2022 is not entirely clear, with the rest of the functions, everything is in order, everything is like on the old Hunik modules of 2022. I took to expand the memory up to 16 GB, two modules of 4 GB each, all 4 modules, 2 old and 2 new kingstons worked stably, it was not necessary to ate the BIOS and even reset it. Asus p8z77v pro motherboard with not the latest bios, didn't even need to configure anything, just plugged it in and everything worked on the same settings as the old memory, in two-channel mode. By the way, inserting low-profile memory is a little more difficult than regular memory, so if you order, immediately specify which one, because it is sold under the same name, I didnโ€™t know this before, so they brought a low-profile one. Games from deniva (protection from pirates) finally stopped lagging, as it turned out, there was not enough memory, literally a couple of gigs, but eight were not enough . In general, given the low price for this memory, itโ€™s quite possible to buy more to expand the existing one, if the motherboard allows it justified, the games run smoothly and without twitching, they load much faster, and the computer exits the game instantly and then does not slow down for a whole minute. Now about the unpleasant moments, the responsiveness of the Windows interface has noticeably decreased when the client is running on a video card, this is of course not critical, and it is enough to turn it off so that everything works flawlessly, and indeed rarely anyone uses it, so okay. But a small dot on the texture in one game made me think about running a program to check the memory for defects, I will test it, because I hadnโ€™t noticed it before, it didnโ€™t seem to exist, but it works stably, so I donโ€™t even know what kind of dot it is. The only thing is that the memory slots stood open and under the influence of dust for probably 6 years, they could get a little clogged up, that's all, before installation I blew them a little and rubbed them with a paper napkin, I didnโ€™t find on the Internet how to clean them and with what.

Pros
  • Price, standard memory that does not require special configuration, compatibility and stability.
Cons
  • ASR (auto self refresh) technology is not supported, the computer became less responsive after installation (the interface works together with the operation of the battle client on the video card), in one game a dot appeared on the texture that I had not noticed before, it is sold under the same name low-profile and regular, therefore it is necessary to clarify (As for me, the usual one is easier to install and get, and even less heats up because of the textolite).
