Kingston Memory Review: KVR26N19S8/8

<![CDATA[Kingston Technology is the world’s largest independent manufacturer of memory products (Kingston Technology).  Kingston manufactures flash memory products and other computer-related memory products. In 2015, Kingston generated revenues of over $7.0 billion USD (Kingston Technology).

I was looking for a Kingston memory module to fit into my MSI Z370 SLI PLUS gaming motherboard. I went to the Kingston Technology website and their website recommend several of the ValueRAM options in 16GB and 8GB memory stick. I chose the 8GB KVR26N19S8/8 as a consideration for my memory.
I then did research on the KVR26N19S8/8 to figure out if it would be worth spending my money on. A read a rating from Overclock, initially being interested in it’s cost efficiency but it’s ability to overclock for it’s rated clock speed. I ending up purchasing the KVR26N19S8/8 for it’s cost efficiency and it’s basic gaming capabilities.

Specifications of a KVR26N19S8/8 Memory Stick:

  • Amount of RAM: 1 x 8GB
  • Generation of RAM: DDR4
  • Access Time: 7.1267 nanoseconds
  • Bandwidth: 21,328 MB/S
  • Non-Parity
  • ECC/EDO/FPM: No
  • Channels: not specified
  • CAS Latency: 19
  • Warrantee: lifetime warranty

Overall I wasn’t impressed with this cost efficient memory module. The KVR26N19S8/8 has a high CAS Latency that I do not recommend for gaming purposes. If you spent more money, you could buy Kingston’s HyperX Predator series.  Kingston’s Predator series is much more impressive with a higher ability to overclock and a more efficient gaming memory module.
