Price on the rise for HyperX RAM products.
Price on the rise for HyperX RAM products.
Hello, I was planning to purchase some RAM for my build and discovered an 8GB (2x4) DDR3 HyperX Fury 1600MHz unit priced at 20 euros. I believe that price is quite low for such RAM and it could be a fake. Do you have any idea on how to verify if a RAM stick is genuine? Thank you in advance.
It's a DDR3 model, and I don't want to click the link, but I think it's still in good condition. A 20 Euro price for 8GB of used memory isn't particularly cheap.
It's a reasonable deal on used DDR3 RAM. If it fits your setup and you're short on memory, it's definitely a good investment.
I have 2 GB of DDR2, which should make it a noticeable improvement. The motherboard supports 1333 DDR3, so the 1600 RAM should function properly.
DDR3 memory isn't suitable for DDR2 motherboards. A complete system overhaul would be necessary, and upgrading to newer options like Ryzen would be the better choice.
Socket 775 includes a few boards that accommodate both types, but not simultaneously. They only accept 2 and 4GB DDR3 modules, and for 4GB you need dual-rank chips (two chips per stick, totaling 16). Therefore, the kit you mentioned won't function properly.
