HyperX blu memory features a sleek design, low height heat spreader and serious performance. Designed with system builders, entry-level gamers, and PC enthusiasts in mind, HyperX blu strikes a perfect balance between price and performance.
Viciously aggressive performance - with matching PCB.
Higher Performance
Offering speeds from 1333MHz-1600MHz and capacities from 4GB-8GB (single) and 8GB-16GB (kits of 2), HyperX blu is ideal for high performance upgrades for an improved gaming experience and faster multitasking capabilities.
Bold and Aggressive
HyperX blu memory is available in the signature HyperX blue color and with diamond cut accents to give a sleek and aggressive look to any consumer's system. Its low height heat spreader provides greater thermal dissipation for improved memory reliability.
XMP Ready
With Intel XMP profiles built into the memory modules, higher-performing frequencies, timings and voltage are attainable by simply enabling Intel's Extreme Memory Profile in BIOS.
Speeds from 1333MHz-1600MHz and capacities from 4GB-16GB
Greater thermal dissipation to optimize memory reliability
This particular RAM wasn't on the supported list for my motherboard, but due to the price, I took a chance and got it anyway. It arrived and got installed. My motherboard set it to run at 1066 by default, but it was easy to change the settings to get it clocked up to 1333 + a percentage based on my overclock settings, which is the max speed that my motherboard supports. Extensive testing has revealed no issues whatsoever. I am very happy with this purchase, and would gladly buy this product again at the same price point, if I was building another system for myself, or someone else.

I purchased the "Kingston Hyper X Blu 8 GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 XMP" version of this product. It really is DDR3 1600MHz RAM, though you may see slightly slower CL-11 CAS Latency timing instead of the CL9 CAS Latency timing that Kingston is advertising if your motherboard doesn't support RAM over-clocking.
After some BIOS tweaks to get the faster timing working on my motherboard, this RAM is working really well for me (better than the advertised CL9 XMP performance), and I think it's a good value for the money I paid (just under 70 dollars for 2x4 Gig Modules - 8 Gigs of total memory)
If you are just looking for the short version, that's it - but if you'd like a little more tech info about this specific RAM, here it is . . .
All modern memory modules have a small chip called a Serial Presence Detect ROM (SPD ROM) which has data programmed into it describing how the motherboard should clock that particular RAM, and according to the standard SPD data profile on this particular RAM, it should run at DDR3 1600 speed with CAS Latency timing equivalent to CL-11. In order for you to automatically get the slightly faster CL9 speed, your motherboard must be able to detect and read a second special 'XMP' profile that is programed into the SPD ROM and automatically over-volt the memory by about 10 percent from 1.5 to 1.65 volts (which Kingston apparently feels is needed to juice it up enough to work at the slightly faster CL9 CAS Latency setting).
Many motherboards still can't handle this XMP RAM overclocking automatically, requiring you to change settings to get it to work, or even worse, requiring that you understand a lot of geeky custom BIOS settings so you can manually set the RAM timing settings required.Read more ›

Fast installation and easy to read instructions. The chips themselves have already shown speed improvements over the stock ones that were in my computer.

I popped this into an old Gigabyte P45 socket 775 motherboard for a total of 16GB of matching Kingston Hyper-X Blue DDR3-1600 and never looked back. Very happy with purchase and would buy again from this vendor.

I've bought several of these for different builds and it has worked with multiple boards without fail. Really enjoy the quality of this memory and it's reliability.

For $30, I can't complain. Windows recognized 8gb with no problem. I could have gone w/faster RAM, but I wouldn't have seen any benefits as I'm not doing any high-end gaming. The modules are low enough that I had enough clearance to install the giant Noctua NHD14 cpu cooler fan in an NZXT M59 case.
