HyperX Fury 4GB Ram

HyperX is a very big industry when it comes to gaming. They are mainly known for headsets and are a branch of Kingston, in other words, HyperX is the high-preformace product of Kingston Technology. Most of HyperX’s products are choice of top-rated gamer, tech enthusiasts, and over clockers world wide.
Recently I got my hands on a few sticks of HyperX Fury 4GB RAM . I purchased them from New Egg and they came in pretty fast. It also came with a life time warranty which is really a plus. The sticks I got run about $169.99. This is definitely very expensive, especially for a 4GB stick of RAM. One cool feature is that this RAM will auto-detect your hardware and over clock accordingly to it.
Here is a video showing off what the RAM looks like:

Specs:

• Amount: 16GB (1 x 16GB)
• Generation: DDR4
• Speed: 2400MHz
• Channels: Dual
• CL: 15
• Timing: 15-15-15-35
• Access Time: 6.5 ns
• Voltage: 1.5 V
• ECC: No
• Warrantee: LIFE TIME!

Overall this is a solid stick of RAM. Its fast, it has a life time warrantee, and is HyperX.  The only problem is the price, is only 4GB worth $169? unless you are building a fast home PC with 2 of these, I do not see another reason to get these, there are definitely other buying choices for a lot less just as good in my opinion.

<![CDATA[G. SKILL is a Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturing company. The company targets customers whom are overclocking computer users.  The company is known for their memory aka RAM. The company was founded in 1989 by a group of computer enthusiasts. My most recent purchase was the fastest memory for my business PC.
My business PC is the ASUS A68HM-E the fast memory I discovered was the RIPJAWS  X SERIES.

This memory makes my whole entire PC run so much faster. Overall everything looks and runs phenomenally. The stylish heat spreader design but keeps it very cool.  This memory is DDR3 1866MHz that delivers up to 14.9Gbps per channel to allow the PC to run at whopping speeds. I am not the only one who has seen great things from this product.  Irma Z. states that “Pros: Cheap, Fast, & Reliable Cons: None Other Thoughts: Would buy again with no questions”, many other review read the same (Newegg)
Specifications:

• The memory is 4 GB
• Type – 240 pin DDR3
• DDR3 1866
• CAS Latency – 9
• NON ECC (Does not error check)
• Non Parity
• Bandwidth – 14,900 MB/s
• Single channel
• Access time – 4.8231 nano second
• Warranty – Lifetime

I definitely recommend this memory, it worked so well with my motherboard. It is not very costly paying in at a $46.99. RIPJAWS X Series provides an excellence performance at a low price.

<![CDATA[G.Skill is an internationally known computer hardware company based in Taiwan. They produce an influx of high-end PC products. The most well-known of these products is their RAM. Although G.Skills targeted audience is overclocking computer users, I bought memory for them that worked with my gaming motherboard, non-overclocked.
Today I am reviewing the G.Skill Ripjaws4 DDR4-2666 MHz  memory kit.  I tested this memory on my ASUS ROG Strix Z370-e gaming motherboard.
Aesthetically, this memory kit looks pretty good on a motherboard. The red heatspreaders are not ridiculously tall. Each memory stick is a bright cherry red color with the G.Skill logo branded on both sides. These sticks feel very well made (Overclockers).However, as we know, aesthetics are not the most important aspect of memory reviewing.
This particular memory is available in a wide range of frequency options from standard DDR4-2133MHz to a blistering DDR4-3733MHz. This particular kit has a very enjoyable performance and holds up to the task. The price of $189.99 can be compared to many other memory kits, but the performance cannot (Proclockers).

The specifications for the memory are pictured in the chart below: 

Overall, this memory kit is a job well done for G.Skill. The Ripjaws V series provides a faster computer experience for gaming, editing, rendering, and processing. The memory kit combines a sleeker look and high quality performance into one, creating an experience of great cosmetics and performance, for a great price (Proclockers).

<![CDATA[I bought the Ripjaws V Series memory after looking around for a fast business RAM without completely breaking the bank. While this is a fairly fast memory chip, I feel as though I could have gotten one just as fast for less money. I paid $208 for two 8GB memory on newegg.com
I’ve never bought any products from G.SKILL so I had to do quite a bit of research. For those of you like me here is some information:
G.Skill is known for its range of DDR, DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4 computer memory. RAM is available in single channel, dual channel, triple channel and quad channel packs for desktops, workstations, HTPC, as well as netbooks and laptops.G.Skill was shown to be the only DDR4 manufacturer not vulnerable to Rowhammer.G.Skill does not manufacture the memory dies, it purchases the memory dies and assembles them into a DIMM memory module ready for sale to customers.(G.SKILLWiki)
Warning: This memory was tested on my ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM motherboard. The results may differ when using a different motherboard.
Benchmarks:

• DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
• Capacity: 8GB (2 x 4GB)
• Non-Parity
• Non-ECC
• Dual Channel
• CAS Latency: 16
• Timing:16-16-16-36
• Type: 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM
• Access Time: 6.25 Ns

I went into this testing with high expectations. I was right to have these expectations as the Ripjaws V Series is EXTREMELY fast. I did not need to tweak or change anything about the performance. I’m sure that if I had used a higher end motherboard or even a gamer, it might not be able to keep up. Though this memory is fast I feel as though the price is too much. When I was looking at this RAM the first time it was around $150 and I can’t imagine why they increased the price so dramatically. If you are willing to pay the price this is a decent memory for a home and business motherboard but I suggest going with something more inexpensive.
