Kingston HyperX XMP Blu Red Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1RK2/16X

Pros: Anybody looking for a super computer should buy these, not only is it 16 Gb but since there are two 8 Gb sticks instead of four 4 Gb sticks causing an increase in performance and also easily upgradeable to 32 with another 2 sticks. you will not find this kind of performance with any amount of 4 Gb sticks.

Cons: Nothing really ram is ram, but one thing to know is most ram comes clocked at a lower rate so to change it you just go into your motherboard settings upon start up.

Other Thoughts: GO BIG. technology is constantly changing and having more is always better because it results in less upgrading a couple years from now.

Pros: works as memory should, no problems, good price.

Cons: none

Pros: fast ram it runs @9-9-9-24-t1 ddr1600 work in As Rock > 970 Extreme4

Cons: only con i can think of is you have to overclock ram from ddr1333 to ddr1600 not really a con just a pain i

Other Thoughts: buy it

Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast! Paired these with my new FX 8350 and I couldn't be more impressed! Defaulted to 1333MHz out of the box but with a simple bios tweak these bad boys spin like a top!

Cons: They didn't come with any fancy case stickers or any sort of swag!

Pros: Installed in micro mini board with two dim slot works really well.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: An excellent way to prepare for the future, buy more than you need.

Pros: I gave these DIMM 5 atsrs. Now I see that the price went up 40% for no reason!

For set I bought for $60, then $65, then $69, now for $104! you must be kidding me.

It is not worth paying that much for these DIMMs.

Cons: Over priced.

Pros: I got 120 modules of these, and they all passed memtest86 to the 9th pass. Not a single one failed.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I run all modules as server RAM, although they do not have parity correction, but this is the cheapest and closest one can get to a server RAM.

Never had a Kingston failing, even from PC100 to DDR2 to DDR3.. solid RAM. 7 eggs.

Pros: Absolutely wonderful ram that takes a punch to the chin and doesn't flinch!

fast
cool
reliable

I've been partial to Crucial brand memory for a long time and denounced Kingston for it's low performance per price point

But I picked this ram up for a new build(and got a good deal on it) and let me tell ya,this RAM is fantastic!

I can edit video like never before(coupled with an i5-3570K) full 1080p in a fraction of the time that my old machine was able to accomplish.

Motherboard picked it up no problem

Cons: None to think of

Other Thoughts: It was definitely a lot smaller than what the photos make it out to be,which was a huge plus.The smaller size is definitely better IMO when the ram slots are right next to the CPU,and if you're installing a decent sized CPU fan(cooler master 212 evo for example) it will feel like a tight squeeze

Pros: Simple, Stable Memory. Looks excellent on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard.

Cons: Initially recognized @ 1333MHz. After trying to figure out why my computer kept crashing, I was finally able to get the RAM to run smooth and stable @ 1866MHz.

Other Thoughts: To get the the RAM to run @ 1866Mhz I had to go into the CMOS & reset the timing to 10-10-10-30 and increase the voltage to 1.65V.

Pros: simple design, reputable manufacture at lower price range.
Paired with my MSI Z77-G43 MB, initially show 1333MHz frequency, but after enabling X.M.P in BIOS, the sticks run at 1600MHz. Run Prime95 torture test for 2 hours without a problem.

Cons: none so far except that price of memory is dropping so fast...
