Was just about to post this. Been looking to upgrade for a while so ended up getting it.

For the record, after the discount was applied it was actually £50.00, 1p more than what ebuyer said it was in their email. Shocking eh? :stuck_out_tongue:(_;)

Free Saturday delivery too.

Wow, great price!

Thanks, just noticed that on checkout too, amended price on post.

is this the only set on promo code?

good price, hot

great, noticed now in my email. Got 2, thank you
anyone knows which courier they use for Saturday deliveries??

The last few items I have had from them on a Saturday have all been Yodel, but it might depend on where you are in the country.

anyone knows if they are real (SPD) 1600mhz or 1333mhz O.C. ?? http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX318C10FBK2_16.pdf
does not tell much apart from saying they are 1866mhz which obviously is O.C.

Is this an all time low price for a 16GB set of DDR3? Seems like it to me.

yep good price for these sticks 16GB :smirk:

Good price, and 95% of them probably bought by people who think more RAM is better and in fact the extra RAM will never get utilised.

I think it will depend on how fast your bios will allow it to go at

Great price, been waiting ages to order 32GB ram for a gaming PC.

It will suffice if they're using a single GPU. With multiple GPU's it's different if you want to prevent games using the pagefile all the time.

Even 8gb is enough for gaming, its when you are doing Visualization you need more.

4GB is fine you'll just use more pagefile which can drastically effect performance. I mention this all the time. I've seen over 20GB committed with games, multiple GPU's. That could potentially be a serious problem with 8GB memory or even 16GB. Unless you have an extremely quick pagefile drive but it won't be as quick as memory.

no, I am talking about the real speed, the SPD, could be 1333mhz then O.C. to 1866mhz (I call it a cheat) surely 1600mhz I hope for better potentiality to O.C.

No XMP but automatically 1866MHz. Can't say for sure but I'm guessing 1600MHz.

I don't know either, I have 2 x 8 GB sticks just some old sticks they are unbuffered and unbranded 1600mhz I hope these new ones will run at 1866 MHz if they do I will let you know on Monday when I try them.

what mother board do u have

Hi, Would these make a difference when using Photoshop, I've only got 4gb at the moment?

http://www.futurelooks.com/kingston-hyperx-fury-16gb-1866mhz-ddr3-memory/ the cpu-z in here does say spd 889mhz. so, x2=1778mhz. What a nice surprise, looks like that they are more suitable for some cpu's for the 2011 motherboards as their basic standard goes up to 1866mhz and I always thought the max spd on any ddr3 was 1600mhz. Great

Anyway, looks like the pendulum is switching back to cheap memory. Exciting times. I luv it when that happens.

Next competitive pricepoint for 2x 8GB must be £45 with a few bits in between.

Question for the experts: can I get DDR4 and run it in a DDR3 machine? (sorry if that's stupid lol). I just wondered if DDR4 will take DDR3 in its stride & be backwards compatible but faster, ie I wouldn't expect a Windows 10 program to run in Vista but I might expect a Vista program to run in W10.

Physically different slot

I've been told all right lol

Anyway, since I've got a few experts here, pls give me a succinct summary of where we are now. We run about 16 PCs & laptops in the family, we have a holiday home so 50:50. 5 of us, a few redundant machines that I should sell but can't bring myself to accept nothing much for them.

Some are legacy PCs over 6 YO but they are all now on W10 (I upgraded to W8 for a few £7.50s first then got lucky with the free upgrade to W10) even if a bit pathetic in capability terms. The Vista I didn't upgrade to W8 is on the Insider Prog so also W10.

At Xmas we measured the worst ones (abroad) and on CPU benchmark they varied from about 1000 to 3500 (don't laugh).

Here in UK they are newer but most are 2-3YO i3s on what you'd expect maybe 2000-3000 on CPU Benchmark & I think I've got the best ie i5 on 5000 CPU Bench.

Given that most are now at least 2 YO, should I sell a few on Ebay & just upgrade to next generation? My kids know about CPU Benchmark and seem to think anything less than my 5000 must be rubbish. I could probably sell & upgrade for not too much money as I am not shy of buying refurbished machines.

What do you recommend a family like mine should do?

I have 16GB and HWinfo reports that 10GB of virtual memory is committed and 52% physical memory is used (after playing Just cause 3). I've recently upgraded from 8GB to 16GB RAM. The committed virtual memory was the same when I had 8GB RAM.

That's right. With 8GB of memory you would be using somewhere around 2GB pagefile. It really depends on the games though and multi-GPU setups make a big difference.

Yeah, there did seem to be a big improvement in stability in games after the RAM upgrade, but the big new Windows 10 update has made it worse with the lag and stuttering.

Do you have the pagefile on an SSD?

You could try running games in windowed borderless mode to reduce stuttering.

Yeah, I do have pagefile enabled. Everything was fine until the new Windows update about 2 days ago. It'll probably be fixed in a future update. I've tried bordeless Window but there's a lot of screen tearing, even with vsync on. I'll just give it some time.

The pagefile question was unrelated to your problem, just wondered if it was on an SSD.

Are you running an NVIDIA GPU? On AMD, with borderless windowed, v-sync is automatically enabled (by Windows) with triple-buffering too. Makes games very smooth. You would disable in-game v-sync. Forgot to add. Doing this you would have to use RTSS or something similar to limit in-game FPS to 60 for example.

Ah, the pagefile is on an 850 evo SSD.

Yep using a gtx 970 gpu. I'll disable the ingame vsync, limit the fps to 60 and see if it's any better. Thanks

That PDF link says:

PnP JEDEC TIMING PARAMETERS:
• DDR3-1866 CL10-11-10 @1.5V
• DDR3-1600 CL9-10-9 @1.5V
• DDR3-1333 CL8-9-8 @1.5V

So they should automatically run at 1866 if the system supports that speed.

Promotion code no longer valid.

What's wrong with CPU benchmark? I thought it was best of breed?

As fishmaster said. If you feel like they're not able to do what you want, buy new systems. Don't upgrade simply because passmark's numbers aren't as high as you want them to be.

did anyone got the Saturday delivery from yodel? what a crap of company, mine does say still at the main depot

what about the ram???

I ordered my ram on Friday evening, so wont come until Monday as I'm in Northern Ireland and I had to pay 8 quid postage

Did you order before 11am ?

I didn't order RAM. I was just talking about my experience with Yodel.

Yeah, it was in the early hours of Friday morning.

just after but I think Saturday delivery on Friday does apply up to 11pm and not 11am

did everyone get their ram
