About this product
Product Information
The Kingston HyperX 8 GB Desktop Memory Kit, model KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX, offers more performance and increased reliability for any operating system. This memory kit features two 512M x 64-bit 4 GB DDR3-1600 megahertz CL9 synchronous DRAM memory modules, based on 16 256M x 8-bit DDR3 FBGA components per module. Such DDR3-1600 memory has been the standard for desktop gaming computers for years. This Kingston HyperX 8 GB package offers advantages that serious computer enthusiasts seek when choosing memory for their gaming rigs.Kingston HyperX is a trusted series of RAM memory. The Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX series has built-in cooling fins to dissipate heat because keeping everything as cool as possible increases both performance and durability. This HyperX kit also contains two 4 GB DDR3 modules as opposed to a single RAM stick. A glance at any home PC motherboard manufactured around the same time will show you that the 240-pin DIMM sockets come in pairs. Splitting the Kingston memory sticks between two DIMM sockets allows the motherboard to operate in dual channel mode. This effectively doubles the speed at which the computer communicates between the memory and the CPU. This advantage applies to virtually all modern motherboards, whether they use an AMD or Intel CPU.This Kingston HyperX upgrade also operates at 1600 megahertz. For DDR3, this has become the standard intersection of performance and affordability. Faster DDR3 approaches the point of diminishing returns after this point. The only exception to this rule of thumb would be AMD APU systems where the diminishing returns threshold is somewhere around 2400 megahertz.Yet another benefit of this HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX upgrade is the fact that improving your system is simple. When someone is building or upgrading a system, increasing RAM or switching out a mechanical hard drive for an SSD is one of the easiest and fastest ways to see immediate gains. Whether it is just making a browser zippier or running specialized software, the effects are felt in the real world instead of just being an improvement seen only in benchmarks. Faster RAM equals a faster system without fiddling with voltage to overclock the system.Tech-savvy individuals understand the importance of having quality memory in a computer to operate the system. Those who understand memory know that it is a crucial component that could dramatically improve their computing lives, from startup check processes to running multiple programs simultaneously. Extra memory gives you the power to be more productive in your work tasks as you rapidly switch between programs and tasks. If you use your computer for leisure gaming, memory can help improve your download and upload speeds for better graphics, less lag, and even improved keyboard response.Product Identifiers

Good RAM modules for motherboards that support PC3-12800 1600mhz
Good memory, but beware the set is rated at 1.65 V. If your motherboard supports only 1.5 V, speed of the RAM will probablydecrease a bit. For older OEM motherboards (i.e. DELL) that support up to PC3-10600 1333mhz, they might register only 4GB total, 2GB each. I tested on DELL VOSTRO 230 motherboard myself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

good price, now I have 16 gb for ram, computer turns on a bit faster now .
The rams stick work just fine, I had to take my original rams sticks and put these their place and then place my original sticks in the other two unused slots for these to actually work for me. I was then able to enable XMP and now all 4 running at 1600 mhz just fine with no issues. I use a ssd drive and with this additional ram, my desktop loads a bit faster as well. The sticks were in great condition, which gave me a bit more confidence it was going to work out fine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
