<![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.
