Kingston HyperX Blu Red Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1R/8

Pros: very fast, very reliable, boots my system up quick as a jiffy, no strain on my system even when I am gaming hard.

Cons: no cons that i found so far.

Pros: It is truly an awesome memory for the price. Runs games well.

Cons: The memory sometimes crashes a bit. It seems to be running at 1333 on the asrock extreme 4. I can't figure out how to make it run at 1600 as advertised.

Other Thoughts: All though it is a great memory for the price.

Pros: Price, performance, and ability to expand

Cons: None at all

Other Thoughts: Odd thing to compliment, but the red looks very nice in person.

Pros: Ram worked perfectly no problems at all.

Cons: none really

Other Thoughts: motherboard bios set it to run at 1333 but in 2 clicks i got it back at 1600

Pros: great looking and performing, I am running 16gbs and works great. For the price I can't imagine any other brand running any better

Cons: the only drawback is finding the proper settings for it to run at 1600mhz, it wants to run at 1333mhz by default so it takes a little time to configure the latency settings and run stable at 1600mhz

Pros: Really great memory. Boosted my level of performance out the roof. Nice low profile does not interfere with CPU coolers. Just great RAM!

Cons: None

Pros: Great RAM. Works as expected. Solid construction, and it looks good.

Cons: None really.

Other Thoughts: I goofed and only bought one stick. I bought this when it was on sale for $29 and thought it was the 2 sticks of 4Gb for that price, and not one 8Gb. I don't blame new egg or the RAM for that though. My error. That being said, while this is great RAM and I'm happy with my purchase, if you need two sticks, you can get the same speed for less. Or you could get some that's faster for the same price. This RAM does look cool though. And if you catch it on sale I think it's worth it.

Pros: Great Ram! Kingston has been around for ever and has been always a top notch ram maker. I bought two sticks to run on an ASROCK Extreme6 motherboard and everything worked first boot up. I got 16gb of ram which is overkill for me now but i always need more later with previous builds so i bought two sticks for future proofing my system this time. I upgraded from a ddr2 system and needed more memory. Well the price of ddr2 has gone threw the roof for 8gb of ram. So i figured time to upgrade the whole system and buy enough ram not to run into that problem again when this new system ages a bit. Since ddr3 is cheap now I just went for it. I forgot to say this is low profile ram which left room for my aftermarket CPU cooling solution (Coolmaster Hyper 212 EVO)

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Great Ram would buy again!!! This ram is running on this system...
Motherboard: Asrock Extreme6 Z77
CPU: Intel 3570k
Ram: two sticks of this Kingston ram
CPU Cooler: Coolmaster Hyper 212 Evo

I wanted ram that was fast and stable and found it. Thanks Kingston! Would buy again in a heart beat.

Pros: I mean. Its RAM. It gets the job done. Fast and efficient. Would suggest getting to a friend. Heatsink works great, and isnt tall at all. Kingston lives up to their name.

Cons: None at all.

Other Thoughts: When it comes to RAM, go all out if your gonna upgrade. I already had 8GB of kingston HyperX RAM, i saw this went on sale and had to have it. I have 16GB now. Its cheaper just to go ahead and buy how much you have in mind for your PC to have. If you plan on getting 16GB, go ahead and just get 16GB. 8Gb is perfect for starters, but for someone who renders out videos and what not, 16GB helped me out. Also would recommend a different one for overclockers. Just for heat reasons. That dosent apply to most.

Pros: Seem well built and reliable.

Cons: Does not have any JEDEC or XMP programmed to run at 800MHz. Fasted is JEDEC#4 at 685MHz. Assume made to be used with a very overclocked CPU.

Other Thoughts: Today Newegg has simular Kingston on sale with the XMP programmed to run at 1600. Ordered two pairs.
