Hi,

I have tried to locate the correct RAM modules to upgrade my system from 8 to 16gb.
My existing RAM is this,
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K28GX)
According to Speccy, it's running @ these specs,
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)

Has the HyperX line been discontinued? Are these timings normal?
All the stuff I have looked at does not have theses specs.
My mobo - Asus P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3
CPU - Intel Core i5-2550K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know about the HyperX availability. As to your ram, it's running at 1333MHz, most recent ram does that speed at 9-9-9-24 timings no problem.
 
HyperX is still available as a brand but your particular model number has been discontinued from what I can see. From what I can gather, the replacement model number is KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G and the only real difference is support for "Kingston HyperX Plug and Play (PnP)".

Should work and match your current ram fine though and if you google the model number you should find a stockist.
 
There is a place that sells it, obviously can't say on here who it is, but it is definitely out there as I have same memory and been thinking of upgrading myself.
