Review on 💾 Hynix 8GB DDR3 Non ECC PC3-12800 1600Mhz 2Rx8 Memory Module by Jonathan Fernandez

New or used? - Memory

Thought I'd get a new unused RAM stick. When it arrived it was in a large package, I thought it would arrive in a nice blister pack. I found it strange. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package and pulled out the stick was that it looked like it had been inserted into something multiple times. When I contacted them and asked if it was new or used or if they had tested it before shipping, all I could tell from them was that it was new and in a large package. I decided to run memtest86 on it to see if it worked fine and it did, but the build date was 2015. I should have just returned it. But I already have it installed and a new aftermarket brand would have cost a bit more money and time. So I figured it wouldn't be worth the hassle to send it back if it worked and the computer was sent back plugged in under a desk. Computer.

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
