SB from your current rig in sig? An upgrade itch need scratching?

Indeed

Had my system 2.5 years and thought about selling whilst the motherboard and CPU has some warranty left, or might use it for a spare pc.

Decisions decisions

RAM prices are mental

 

[rolypolyman]

I remember buying this ram a while back @ £39.99 and Gibbo telling us all to buy it quick as ram was going up in price again. You cost me £10 Gibbo, voucher please!

Kingston HyperX = awesome

Ridiculous price, same as when I paid 40 for it is was a ridiculously low price

Just makes me cringe when I remember buying 4gb of OCZ gold for 100 quid, and 4gb of Ripjaws C7 for 90 quid

 

[kerrgreg]

how does this ram differ to kingston Blu ? ive 16gb of that and would like to go 2 tri-ch at this price its worth considering, the ram spec looks the same but aree there any real differences?

I remember paying £160 for 2Gb of adata ddr500. And being well pleased at the time. To be fair its still doing me proud in my web and media pc.

The Bulldozer deal is actaully pretty good! I just saw this advert on the OCUK page £163 less £20 cash back = £143 for an AMD Bulldozer FX8120! Now come on I know were all disappointed by Bulldozer put at that price it puts it at less money then a 2500K which is it's nearest competitor in terms of performance.

Noticed that too, seriously thinking about picking one up because at £143 its not half bad.

 

[Gux]

Would I actually notice any improvement with an extra 8gb ram? I currently have. Mo4gb and a 1090t and mostly use the pc for gaming. Using w7 64 bit

 

[buchtis]

£30 for 8 gigs of RAM!?!?!?!? Is that a mis-price?

 

[scottomus0]

want to pick some of this up, postage bumps the price up though!

KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX) [KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX 1 is the 1.5v version and other is 1.65 version isnt it?, so is it luck of the draw which 1 you get ?

There's no difference in those 2 product numbers.

Kingston do not produce a "1.5V" version of the 1600MHz Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey.

The RAM is tested by Kingston at 1.65V but, as many forum users will tell you, it will usually run 1600MHz at ~1.5V.

I say "usually" because I've not seen anyone with a problem but you never know.

 

[Akagi]

That's a bloody good price for the ram. I don't know about the CPU though, if you can't shift 25 units at £163 then you best let AMD know that there not cheap enough even at that price.

i think £150 would be a good price for the top of the line FX chip to sit at... it just about fits in with the performance level... kinda...

really i was going by what i read on this http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/dual_channel_ddr3_1600_8gb_shootout,4.html

Like the Ballistix Sport and RipjawsX memory the HyperX Genesis Grey series is available in both 1.65v and 1.5v models. However where as the Crucial and G.Skill low-voltage kits are relatively inexpensive, Kingston is after $116 for their 1.5v version and just $68 for the 1.65v model.

I was going to buy the ram to update my machine to 16Gb but was disappointed as you limited the offer to 1 kit only.
To bad for you, I got the same ram elsewhere for £62.18 delivered for 16Gb.

Well there's a list of the Kingston HyperX Genesis kits here.

Click to select the 1600MHz kits and you'll find nothing rated at 1.5V for 1600MHz. They're rated to run at a slower speed of 1333MHz at 1.5V.

But as I said, the RAM is tested by Kingston at 1.65V but it will usually run 1600MHz at ~1.5V.

Happened to me last time as well, a mate has since taken them from me so just ordered another single kit.

These one per customer larks are a pain especially when they have hundreds

 

[Tombo]

It's one per order, you could have easily made 2, then again you don't get free shipping I guess.

You can place more than one order.
