HyperX Fury Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory (HX421C14FBK2/16)

Awesome ram worth the buck, nowadays games like GTA 5 need more than 8gb ram if you play for long hours.

Item was as described in the website. Delivery was most satisfactory.

Though it was mentioned as a 2x8GB kit, it is two separate sticks packed together rather than 2x8GB in a single packing. If you are looking for something which is a true pair of sticks, you may need to look somewhere else. It doesn't really matter much though. Works fine for my needs.

GOOD ONE

This is a review for the HyperX Fury Black Series 16GB 2133Mhz RAM I personally had an unfortunate time when it came to delivery as it took a lot longer than expected but that may not be the case for everyone so no points will be deducted. Coming from 8GB of DDR3 memory, I was excited to see the performance boost- and it definitely was there. I ran Divinci Resolve and often it would max out my 8GB and run super slow but this amount of fast, reliable memory handles the program with ease. It's been an absolute pleasure to be able to run things like Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro along with a ton of Chrome tabs and see absolutely no slow down! The memory is relatively low profile which allowed me to fit them underneath my Hyper Evo 212 CPU cooler ( I know someone will ask if it doe's). DDR4 is coming down in price and while it may not be worth upgrading from a 16GB DDR3 config, it will definitely be worth it in the long run especially if you're coming from 8GB.

A good set of basic RAM, currently OC'd to 2993mhz at 1.3V. Did initially try it with a Gigabyte Motherboard (Z170-UD5 TH) but it did not work, do check that the motherboard you buy has support for these modules on their support website. It contains SK Hynix modules so not recommended for Ryzen systems but is a solid performer for Intel.

Initially I was considering going for higher speed memory, but decided on this for a number of reasons: 1) A number of technical reviews have shown that the difference between 2133 MHZ DDR4 and higher speeds DDR4 is certainly measurable but so slight as frankly nearly impossible to notice other than from benchmarking - literally a few frames per second, and you pay a premium for that. 2) Kingston say this memory overclocks itself if the pc it's plugged into supports it. Now I haven't worked out how to check what speed my memory is running at, or how to enable support (possibly XMP) but I've been using this for a few days playing things like The Division, and I am very happy. 3) Higher speed memory can suffer from some compatibility issues, and I'm more interested in a stable machine than bleeding edge. I've now got 32GB of it running (two of these 16GB kits) though I subsequently learned that it is much wiser to buy "matched memory" - i.e. buy it all at once in a single kit (pack) in order to guarantee compatibility. Less importantly, these memory sticks look very smart, the heat spreaders are very slick and were quite simple to install. I did have one problem initially, in that the PC wouldn't boot, just start up and then power down again after about 10 seconds (no beeping). This was because despite the clip being on, they weren't seated perfectly. I just had to remove them, reseat and press all along the heat spreader... around "20lbs" force was the advice, and then it worked a charm.

Exactly as it should be. Good, reliable RAM that doesn't break the bank. 4 stars as very little headroom for overclocking, it's stock or nothing.

I put 2x8GB (£66 a few weeks ago) into a new Asus Z170 Pro + i6700k (ebay £230 new) and perfectly good benchmarks out of the tin, £420 all in. I spent ages researching higher speed DDR4 and the extra cost didn't justify the meager improvements.A 40% increase in RAM MHz (ie 2133->3000MHz) does not translate to 40% increase in benchmark results. 4% tops on the reviews I read. Maybe on future Intel chipsets but not the current ones. Intel Skylake has PCI Express coupled directly to the CPU so compute power will come from a decent CPU/graphics card/OpenCL/DirectX rather than higher speed RAM. The money I saved buying 2133 MHz RAM I put towards a new AMD RX 480 graphics card. I rebuild every 5 years or so and have done since my Asus P3V4X. Ah AGP. Anyway, I always research before parting with hard earned cash and am 100% happy with this RAM.
