HyperX DDR3 series
HyperX DDR3 series
It might be another version or model. If I were you, I’d run a benchmark using userbenchmark to compare your RAM performance against similar devices.
I verified 8 DDR3 Kingston HyperX modules, confirming their timings match the stickers on the heatsinks—available in black, red, grey, and even blue. I also used a heat spreader with a standard Kingston DIMM; I’d expect a dedicated label under the DIMM or RAM chips.
I know about that heatspreader scam, but usually the PCB is green because it's the cheapest option. It’s hard to take it off since it’s tightly glued in, and I’m worried about hurting the RAM. Looking at it, if this was a fake 685 MHz CL9 rebadge RAM running at 850Mhz CL9 at normal voltage, it would actually be quite good quality right from the start!
It works perfectly when it's confirmed. Therefore, the original 1866 would begin on 10-11-10 at 933... The 850mhz also causes confusion with AIDA, RAMMon and CPU-Z as they attempt to explain memory bandwidth. Regarding the green PCB, don't worry—the red and grey ones here also include a green PCB.
Gathered several useful resources, though it’s hard to say they’re really valuable without a comparison point. Now, look at the memory kits offered by the manufacturer on their website—https://www.kingston.com/us/memory?memorytype=Memory for Servers, Desktops, and Laptops. This would help me evaluate what I’m seeing.
