Review on Kingston Value RAM 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 (PC3-12800) Non-ECC CL11 240 Pin DIMM Memory Module by Ada Kosakiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

I found information on the Internet that now there is an "old formation" RAM with one memory density and a "new" one with a much higher density. So, old and simple chipsets, it seems, do not "understand" high-density memory. That is, theoretically, if you do not have a fancy motherboard, it is better to buy RAM strictly from the compatibility list. You can write off inoperability for inappropriate density, or simply for incompatibility :) Changed to KINGSTON HyperX FURY Blue HX316C10F / 8 - 8GB - it works fine. And paired with Crucial Ballistix Tactical (BLT8G3D1869DT1TX0) on 8Gb it works fine at a frequency of 1600, timings 9-9-9-25 (did not try to overclock). It fits me.

Pros
  • Compact (low profile), inexpensive, brand, packaging.
Cons
  • It didn’t start on the GA-H81M-S1 motherboard and on the GA-B85M-D3V-A too, with an i5 4690 processor. The computer refused to turn on at all.
