Review on πŸ’» TECMIYO 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM (PC3-12800S) Laptop RAM Upgrade by Tom Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No worse than Crucial

I was a little hesitant to buy this brand of memory as I've always bought directly from Crucial in the past. However; 50% savings and positive reviews for this brand from TECMIYO were too good to pass up. At the moment I have absolutely no regrets. I installed each of the 8GB modules into one of two empty bays on my HP Envy 700-430qe desktop. The other 2 banks already had 8GB and 4GB Crucial modules. I closed the tower, plugged everything back in, and turned it on. Within a minute or two of my system getting used to the new RAM, it was working great with the RAM upgrade from 12GB to 28GB. If you're a little hesitant to buy this because you're unfamiliar with the brand, I'd say go for it.
