This review is from: HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model KHX1866C9D3K2/8G

Pros:

The only Pro about this ram for me was Newegg's fast shipping of it. Bought 2 kit's of this ram. Never again anything Kingston makes.

Cons:

I'd stay away from this product. It's funny that we paid for DDR3 1866 ram. Yet, CPU-z, MSI Live Update, Passmark RAMMon and your bios will all say it's DDR3 1333 and those are the highest timings any of the software/bios will show you.You have to go to Kingston's website just to get a 2 page pdf that lists DDR3 133, 1600 and 1866 timings. That doesn't list all of them though.The even funnier thing is everything recognized my previous G-Skill Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600 ram that my 2 kits of this ram replaced.Then you go to Kingston's website to fill out a support form for the information you need and that's an extreme headache of a 3 page form and after you complete the 3rd page you get their stupid captcha before they'll accept their own form. Then you click to submit it and their process freezes up in it's tracks. If it were my pc or internet connection, I wouldn't be able to sign in here or post this review. this is nothing on Newegg. It's all KINGSTON.

Overall Review:

Go with Corsair, G-Skill, Mushkin, Patriot or any other ram manufacturer first.

Manufacturer Response:

We apologize for the issue you are having. However, HyperX memory requires the user to go into the BIOS and configure the overclocking features.

There is another HyperX product called PnP, Plug and Play, where all you need to do is plug them in and the system automatically boots to the specified speed.

Kingston products are 100% tested to meet the listed specifications. If you are not satisfied, please contact our Technical Support team at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) and one of our Technical Support Representatives will assist you with the problem. Please be sure to have the part on hand if you call in.
