Review on πŸ”‹ Kingston HyperX Impact 8GB DDR4 2666MHz CL15 SODIMM Laptop Memory (HX426S15IB2/8) by Russell Wong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost got ripped off. Make sure it matches the serial number!

I bought 32GB 3200MHz and the delivery was very fast. I completely disassembled my laptop and am ready to go with new RAM and lo and behold when it runs out I find that the memory I got was the 2400MHz model. Also, it's almost impossible to tell until you put everything back together. There are no differences on the real card except the serial number warranty sticker. It must start with "HX4##", pound means MHz. If you bought 32GB, the serial number starts with HX432 and 24 starts with HX424. I made an exchange and am curious if they make the same mistake when I receive the correct product on Saturday. Edit: Haven't had any issues with the replacement so far, have updated the review to reflect this. I will install, test and send back if necessary.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
