Kingston HyperX DDR2 1066Mhz - Review

[aeroaa2]

will they work on a asus m3n72-d motherboard ?

and is there a 2x2gb kit ??

[jonjowilson]

Thank you great video .... I just replaced same motherboard & set-up but find I cant get past 1000 Mhz were before 1066 was a breeze only change is I gone from xp pro to win 7 (32bit)

[SipiN90]

Hi!I've just bought a 2GB 1066MHZ Hyper X(KHX8500D2/2G) to add with my 1gb Kingston (KVR800D2n6/g) But when i put them both it my comp just turns on but doesn't start(if u know what i mean)...i take out the hyperX ram and it turns on,i swap them around(putting in hyperX and taking the 1gb ram out) and my comp turns on,but doesn't start. I'm pretty newbish at this. :D Thanks in advanced!

[odsca]

@SipiN90 it's recommended that you add the same type of ram. Never add different unmatched pairs, hence the problem you have.

[MrKostale]

I had 2 Gb Kingston DDR2 1100 and my CPUz showed about 536Mhz and FSB RATIO 16:10..Now I put Hyper X 2Gb on that and CPUz showing 334.6 Mhz and FSB RATIO 1:1..and mamory timings 5-5-5-15.So I'm a litlle confused now why is speed only 334 Mhz but improved FSB and timings?? they all runung at 1.8V haven't touch anything.. I have Intel procesor is it possible that GAGED HiperX slowing my old memory ?? Please help :)

[pedrohm706]

@MrKostale Don't worry, thing is, I don't actually know how to explain why, but this happens to every RAM.

Eg.: If you put connect a 1066 mhz RAM in your pc, CPUz will tell you that you have around 533MHz of DRAM Frequency. Look in the vid at 2:04 . See? It says: DRAM frequency - 401.0 MHz, considering his memory is running at 800MHz, get it? Hope I helped.

[MrKostale]

@pedrohm706 I know that,its showing frequency for one chanel,I have ddr2 so its dual chanel mem. I was wondering why did it slow down after I put HiperX which should be better,and also is on 1066Mhz. Thanks anyway :D

[About14Pandas]

Great review. By viewing this, I was able to get my Kingston 4GB HyperX DDR2 1066 memory kit to run at 5-5-5-15 unganged. Thanks!

[nelizmastr]

im going to get the 800mhz kit of 2x2gb. ddr2 is cheap now so im pickin up an upgrade. Bulldozer is my next goal. (gotta save up a LOT)

[urkhai666]

should i get 4 of these??

[vstxp]

Hey,I have a 2x2GB edition of this ram.With an intel processor do I put 1.8v 5-5-5-18 800MHz (DRAM 400) or I put it on 2.2v 5-5-5-15 1066MHz (DRAM 533).Do these have a difference in performance with intel processor or they are the same?

BTW I noticed problems when putting it to 1066.Do you have any Idea why?Is it because it is 2 RAM slots and 4 cores,and it is intel processor?

Please respond because i'm not sure about this.

[warlockboyburns]

does this mean you can only run in unganged if you have the same amount of memory slots as you do cores?

[crissglitch666]

my cock is so hard

[crissglitch666]

this made my huge cock so hard

[wolfpackflt670]

my ram reads 9-9-9-24 is this bad? my board always keeps them in these settings.

[Bunongboyz]

hey, i have a problem with my computer

it turns on but it won't show any beep or image to the monitor. think it could be the ram that's messed up? my MB is Biostar ta780g m2+. i had two kingston kvr8002n5 1g....please help if you can.

[noobcontroll]

@Bunongboyz when mine does that i ussualy tear it apart and rebuild it :D and reset the bios by removing the battrie on the motherboard

[Chargeglass]

@noobcontroll The battery is for the real time clock, and CMOS settings, not BIOS... BIOS and CMOS are two different things on the motherboard. BIOS usually requires a "Jumper" piece moved to reset it, CMOS is removing the batter for 5-10minutes typically.

[Chargeglass]

@Bunongboyz Try a different video card, if you are using a attached gpu, try using the on-board gpu, if you do get a picture, and hit a blue screen, a mem stick could be faulty.

[jimotazertaki]

Try Asian women **busizz4me.info**

[MrGuyfromcuba]

how much is this?

[manoragas]

Hey, are Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600Mhz is compatible with AMD Athlon || x4 640 processor, and Asrock 790GX motherboard ?

[sonofkikkoman]

haha thats the worst intro song ever heard but great reviews anyways. uh the performance aint that great from 800 to 1066 so i'll stick to my a-data 2x2gb 800mhz memory at 900mhz :)

[sonofkikkoman]

haha thats the worst intro song ever heard but great reviews anyways

[LemonAndYoghurt]

i got 2GB (2x1GB) of Kingston DDR3 intalled on my MSi E65 motherboard.

Can I fill up the remaining two slots with DDR3 RAM of different brand and capacity,

ie. 2x4GB ?

[madbab00n]

it wont let me setup as 5-5-5-15. cause it auto changes the settings from 555 to 577 and it wont let me select the correct setting :@

[bilashhossain]

should i get this or ddr3 1333???(i haven't picked my Motherboard yet)

[67CopperHead]

wich is better this one or the Kingston Hyperx T1

[2247billy]

hi i billy i got an acer g7200 pc the Processor: AMD Phenom 9750 X4 2.4GHz Memory: 4GB (2 x 2GB) 800MHz RAM HD Capacity: 640GB Graphics Card: HD4850 512MB DDR3 Graphics Card Operating System: Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1 Optical Drive: DVD-SM + DVD-ROM Air Cooled CPU Thermal Solution Acer Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse Gigabit Ethernet 750W Power Supply what ram this one 2GB DDR2 800MHz Non-ECC CL5 or 2GB 800MHz DDR2 Non-ECC Low-Latency CL4 HyperX DDR2 memory

[anhtrue]

why is ram frequency still 400 instead of 533?

[xxarionisawesomexx]

I subbed, I wanted to always learn how to do this stuff. I just kinda put the crap together to make a pc haha.

[ronhilllight]

when i change freq rate in bios from 800 to 1066 do my voltage changes from 1.8 to 2.2 too, or i have to do that manualy ???

[XanderDylan]

when i changed it from 800 to 1066, i just set the MHz. I believe my voltages were set automatically.

[ronhilllight]

@XanderDylan Thx for info man, i tried to change MHz too and PC didnt crash so...i belive mine voltage is auto too :)

thx again man

[ronhilllight]

just one question...

when i changing freq in BIOS from 800 to 1066 then my RAM works at 533 MhZ (CPUZ says so)

did voltage changes to 2.2 automaticly or i must change it manualy ??

[ReviewingBoy]

@ronhilllight cpu-z shows the half of your clock so 2 times 533 gives 1066

[intruderwings]

Kingston HyperX

[soma1509]

Basically what andreaacme just said. In other words, you're fine.

[soma1509]

Yeah....basically go with what andreaacme just said. He explained it in better detail than I can.

But yeah, in general you want the tightest (lowest) timings possible while at the same time achieving the highest MHz on your RAM.

I hope this clears things up.

[pallaplommon]

Is it the same settings for 2 GB ? voltage and clock ? =P

[halfpol]

yes!

[pallaplommon]

Tnx ;)

[Jayseevids]

that one window titled CPU-Z, how do you get to it? i'm sorry i use XP and i'm trying to figure it out on my friend's PC. also my knowledge on PC's are very feeble :(

[jaggilardej]

send me one :P

[halfpol]

fcki.. my english :D

[donovanx3]

I thought this was ddr3?!

[chinzeem]

why did you switch to single channel, is due to the mB

[raza715]

ya, 4-4-4-12 is better than 5-5-5-15

[raza715]

then u must be noob, CL4 is always better than CL5. Lower timings= less time to load data.

[halfpol]

is not problem! ddr2 800mhz(efective) = 400mhz standart . ddr3 ar to! on the radeon video cards Gddr5 memory is 4x times standart,800mhz (ddr5)=800x4=3200mhz

[autostuniados]

smaller=better

[djmiki12]

mam tą pamięć (:

[svampebob007]

one question do you get the stuff like graphics card and cpu free or do you have to give them back?

[hellsfortune]

most of the ppl that do these webcast reviews...actually get to keep the things they review.

[soma1509]

@Nellylark,

In theory, the smaller (tighter is a better term) the timings, the better.

But you also have to keep in mind of the frequency your RAM is running and how your entire system reacts to it. Sometimes your system performs slightly better (benchmark-wise) if you loosen (increase) the timings a bit and increase the frequency up a bit. Sometimes it is vice-versa, tighten (decrease) the timings but lower the frequency. It all really depends on the RAM.

Cheers!

[andreaacme]

@soma1509

Correct on the loosening which gives more room for pushing freq up but wrong on RAM dependant.

The performance boost is application / benchmark dependant.

The RAM's main parameters, to simplify, are two: clock speed (MHz) and latency (timings). If benchmark asks for mass allocation then more MHz will win, if benchmark asks for quickness in response then low latency will win.

Answer: get the best MHz and tightest timings without going unstable ;)

Regards.

[soma1509]

@colt829,

400MHz is actually correct. Keep in mind this is DDR2 RAM. The "2" stands for Dual-Channel, which means that data transfer goes 2 ways, in and out, at the same time. So to explain this, take the 400MHz speed and multiply it by 2...you get the 800MHz that's advertised.

Same thing for 1066MHz. 533MHz in Dual Channel mode outputs to 1066MHz DDR2.

I hope this clear things up. You have no idea how many people mix this up and diss Kingston (or any other company) for it.

[andreaacme]

@soma1509

DDR2 = Dual Data Rate 2 (Double Channel)

So DDR runs at double the bus frequency. The "2" means you have two channels to access data (so this is correct as you say).

DDR2 400MHz = DDR2-800 rating (which runs at 800MHz)

DDR3 600MHz = DDR3-1200 rating (which runs at 1200MHz)... NOT x3 because the DDR is Double Data Rate (not triple) !!!

The only exception is DDR5 graphic memory which runs at [bus x4] but that due to another reason which is too long to explain here.

Regards

[JADFDAVP]

Help....i recently bought TWO Corsair 2gb 800mhz PC2-6400 for my DG31PR so i could have 4gb to replace my TWO 1gb Kingston 800mhz PC2-6400...(from 2gb to 4gb dual channel) but my motherboard can only detect one of the two corsairs...apparently one of them is damaged :/ what should i do???

[MrShakey81]

AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz with a Gigabyte GA-M52L-S3P nForce 520LE (Socket AM3/AM2+) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard i now see how i can adjust timing but can some find me a video on how to adjus voltage the

[deedos888]

DDR is the type of ram your computer supports. old computers support DDR1 but now new generation is DDR2 regardless of type the bigger the ram is the faster the computer like 256,512 1gb 2b and for best performance its recommended to install 2 ram sticks not only one both with the same size like 1bg each or 512 or 256 not a diff size each.

[AJSokrates]

10 years PC SDR (I think )

4-5 years PC DDR

2-3 years PC DDR2

Less than 1 year PC DDR3

I've got 2GB Kingstone HyperX 1333mhz

[ganymedeIV4]

pfftt. i've got a 233mhz computer with 4MB of SODIMM ram.

thats the maximum amount of ram supported to. came with 2MB of ram.

Whoopin 33mhz rated FSB speed.

i keep it just for hilarity.

3072MB DDR2-800 on my main computer.

[AJSokrates]

shit you beat me :S

I've got pc with 128mb and 486mhz cpu and it work ;)

On my main I've got 2048MB Kingstone HyperX DDR3 1333mhz

[mastersniper13]

i got the 4 gb kit but with 2x 2 gb

[gorgi991]

ah my motherbord doesnt support 1066 mhz rams i f i buy it and place it on my pc it works fine or i got a problem?

[liljimmygem]

can any one help me my cpu -z sais after i did this it doesnt show me bank crycle time and

dc mode:symetric

nb frequency: (nothing)

plz help

[Lostiano93]

I have a motherboard ASUS P5K-E Wi-Fi AP with Kingstone RAM Hiper-X 4GB

DDR2, I can not set the memory to 1066MHz. My motherboard is

compatible with 1066MHz? You can give me help?

(Sorry for the english, I'm Italian)

[zizan64]

with Asus mobo i cant go wrong with them. Im running 1066 on my P5QL-E at stock 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v with no probs at all. Awesome. definitely gonna get the HyperX Fan though. :D

[davetrace123]

would these ram do well in a asus p5q pro?

[spilfster]

Just bought some of these today, installed but there only running at like 400mhz,

[3fras]

i have a question i want to upgrade my laptop to a higher memory ram

my laptop has a Intel Celeron M, 512 Ram, Windows Vista, 80 hard drive

i wanna know if i can upgrade it to 1 GB ram or higher

[nelizmastr]

that depends on your motherboard. what mobo do you have?

[fannypenis]

just got 2 of these bargin!

[papadopoulos02]

i got 2x2gb of this

i am going to buy another 4gb only for 55euros

[dgreat1000]

allo bro..i got this ram but 2gb..is this ram gud enough??..it's worth im gettin another 2gb or sell this and get ocz or corsair 4gb..they cheap in my place..reply me ok..thanks

[PCWizKid]

@dgreat1000, 2GB is good enough. I have 2 systems with 2GB also. But if you can afford 4GB go for it!

[dgreat1000]

ok thanks..but how to make it unganged in 2gb..i got symmetric only..lol

[PCWizKid]

@dgreat1000 Unganged is for AMD cpu's. Are you running a Intel CPU? If so, leave it like it is.

[cssisdabest]

@dgreat1000 get an corsair 12 GB instead

[adiyakuza]

which better ocz reaper 800mhz with this kingston??

[taejamhaha]

@dgreat1000 4gb ftw!!!!

[rolram1973]

Hi there.. why my DC Mode is Symmetic and no value in NB Frequency and also the Bank Cycle time (tRC) My MOBO Abit IX38QuadGt 1Gx4 Kingston 1066 same as in this video.

[yELLoWhaCkErBeAr03]

does a DDR3 Ram and videocard compaatible with a DDR2 compatible motherboard???

thx in advance!!!

[PCWizKid]

@yELLoWhaCkErBeAr03, it does not matter what RAM is on the video card for it to run on your ddr2 motherboard.

[undeadshooter]

hey dude.. was that a liquid cooling device inside your PC? the huge black thing that appears to be sitting on top of your CPU?

wonder what benefits that yeilds, increased overall life expectancy perhaps? I only want to know if that is easy to install because I know most other components are...

[PCWizKid]

@undeadshooter , Hi, yes its a CPU and RAM cooler, please watch my other video I did on it, its the CoolerMaster V10 Video from PCWizKid.

[undeadshooter]

cheers, ok i will soon man

[zepas01]

@PCWizKid Hey can you help me why I can't change ram voltage to 2.2 in AMD Overdrive i can only raise it to 2.1 ;( and if i set to 1066mhz and 5-5-5-15 it gives me bsod because of voltage what to do ? i updated bios today

[ertxz18]

Hello! So I have CPU-Z installed on my PC, version 1.51. And I noticed on your video, under Memory tab it tells you so much stuff. On mine, it only tells me the Type and Size which are under General section. Can you help me?

[LikeAVideo]

Depends of you mobo, he's mobo is more advanced :D

[ertxz18]

Seriously? Depend on THAT! That is so dumb. Weird, I have an ASUS Basswood mobo.

[LikeAVideo]

Basswood??? model do you know it??

[ertxz18]

Yes, its an ASUS P5BW-LA.

[romeozulutango]

Hello I am building a new PC with M3A78-EM board, 4870 Vapor and Phenom 2 940be, this board supports DDR2 1066 and 800 (I DONT OVERCLOCK) and I dont know which one to get and why, anyone could please help me choose?

[xKILLZONAx]

ur a stupid fuck if u dont OC

[GundamAngelicDevil]

er... wanted to ask how would you ungang the ram? because i'm planning doing the exact things you mentioned in the video so i wonder how would you go about doing so.

thanks for the reply and quite an useful video for me (specially this is my first time building).

[rodaz440]

wow ur cpu heatsink is huge

[xKILLZONAx]

mines is the same size, and its idles at 27c peeks at 36c

[tappeddarkman89]

Do you think i could go to 4-4-4-15? i have the 2x1gb ver. and i have my bus speed at 400. and my cpu is a e6750 2.66ghz OCed to 3.2ghz.

[tappeddarkman89]

oh yea and it is running at 1000mhz

[tuberoako777]

woah thanks .. i want to try thins.. hopefully no BSODs since i suck that much LOL

thanks..

[LikeAVideo]

HOLY SHIT V8 THA HUGE COOOLER

[crhasher]

My calculations:

-lower tCl if possible by 1

-lower tRP if possible by 1

-lower tRCD if possible by 1

-calculate tRAS = original tCL +original tRP + original tRCD.

-calculate tRC = tRAS + tRP + 1, relax it by one.

•these settings result in the fastest memory read/write speed, and expectable memory copy speed. lowering tRAS will increase memory copy speed a bit but its not important, yo have to have stability too :D

[crhasher]

I always lower tCL tRCD tRP, they give much better performance. Lowering tRAS makes the system unstable and results in a performance gain of 1% on my system. I have a DDR2 800MHz with specs 5-5-5-15-21 and I run it at 4-4-4-15-20, with no problems at 1.9V.

[markchern]

thank you!

[V3V3KO]

When i watch this video i'm glad to have bought this ram! nice review! PCWizKid u rock!

[dgreat1000]

how to unganged the ram??

[PCWizKid]

@dgreat1000 you need to go into your BIOS and in your DRAM settings you can find the ganged option and disable it.

[undeadshooter]

but what if the advanced settings in @dgreat1000's are hidden? how exactly is he supposed to change his DRAM settings then?

some motherboards have a rather odd BIOS setup, mine is a Pheonix award BIOS and I cant even get to my CPU voltage settings.

[Rct3man777]

I just realised my board only supports DDR...Extremely...shockingly *shudders* expensive DDR...

O_o So now I'm wondering what to do with THIS memory, lol. (I have an old 1.2GHZ CPU and Kingston HyperX DDR2 just lying around, lol)

[spilfster]

send them back to shop, or sell

[eoinycroiny]

get a new mainboard for sure, ddr is lame and SOOO expensive. and id use that 1.2ghz cpu for overclocking practice. clock the hell out of it until it goes pop :) then buy a real proccesor lol

[carlosjazzpick]

I have same mems but the K2/4G kit, does both bring similar performance and features? or there is some other difference with K4/G4 aside the 2 extra gb? btw, excelent review!

[mjutsu2]

i have

windows xp

intel pentium 4 2.80 ghz

768 mb ram

40 gb

[gyorihuni]

You have a freacking performance pc! How mutch do it cost's? (at all) ?

[PCWizKid]

Hi, you can get a parts list and pricing on building a performance gaming PC from my "Reviews" section on my website, take a look there for details.

[Cheburashka94]

Photoshop is not a "Multithreted" app

r how ever you spell it

[PCWizKid]

Some of the filters in the Photoshop CS3 can use multithreading, so desktops with multicore CPUs are likely to perform better than comparable systems that use CPUs with fewer cores or single-core CPUs.

[undeadshooter]

setting RAM to unganged mode allows each memory module to be allocated to a specific CPU core on multicore processors right?

So, if I added another gig of DDR2 800mhz RAM to make 4 gigs of total system memory and upgraded to a quad core processor each memory module would have its own CPU core to use? just wondering

[PCWizKid]

You are correct, that is the idea.

[undeadshooter]

That is a cool idea to, a great way to prevent anything running in the background from interfering with your primary application, especially games.

[rambow70]

mine doesnt even have a ganged mode its just a blank

[abdullahamir]

niec video review

[h3wlett]

Are these videos all part of some sort of personal computer you've been building, or just product reviews?

If so, can you post all the specs of the system when you're done?

[jinarion1]

now i have several questions to start off with 1 meant in jest how the heck did you shoehorn that v8 small block into the case :) but seriously what is your machines specs (the 1 you did the benchmark on) i can see some of the answer in the video i.e. i believe the cpu is 3.1 ghz

anyway just curious and like bilalk85 says nice wire management, got me curious too :) wondering wheres the rest of it :) lol

[jinarion1]

nvm answer to question 2 found (by accident even) in a review of the v8 cpu cooler :)

[gtr3cords]

just curious what do you major in?

[yasersamerraei]

say i want to buy hyper X Ram for my computer but it has 3GB regular RAM. Will i have to buy a 4GB kit or it wouldnt matter?

[PCWizKid]

Ram usually comes in kits of 2x2GB thats the average for DDR2. You can find 4x1GB also, it doesnt matter , however it works best if you dont mix them and use the same kind together only.

[kainaussie]

i got a dell xps 630

4 gb ram

quad core

how would i overclock this quad core

[kainaussie]

are u being a smart ass?

[jinarion1]

although here's 1 for laughs my comp has 1.5 gigs of ram 1 x 1 gig + 1 x 512 meg (same speed though) you can mix ram speeds just not ram types (i.e. DDR + DDR2 or DDR + rambus ram) anyhow..... :)

[gopal892005]

about to order some of these (2x2GB) to add to my 2x2GB Corsair Dominator's :p

[Quileif]

i cumm

[Coilshot]

Very informative video. I didn't even know about ungang and gang memory.

[bilalk85]

Love your wire management dude and the PC ofcourse! PLS PLS make a video and teach us how to Manage the wiring inside the Chassis!! PLS!!

[Morecake2]

Very useful and informative.

Thanks!

[Dmk998]

hey i have those but with 800mhz i don't need more.. and they are prety good for overclocking

[Soran150]

omfg hawt pc

[pepe191817]

wow very good

[asdfgoogle]

Hang on... I've never heard of ganged mode. How long has that been around?

[MN12BIRD]

I think only on modern AMD chips with two memory controllers.

[abadamu05]

HOW DO I CHANGE FORM A GANG TO UNGANG MEMORY?

just out of curiosity, why alter the 'tras' from 18- 15...

I reckon it might be worth making a tutorial on accessing the bios and making all the amendments you mentioned..

obviously its a novice here..

[aznlilhero]

NICE PC!

[coijoi]

very nice thanks!!!

[DjToronto4]

I love kingston's RAM products cause we bought 512mb of RAM at a store. it was awesome so we hooked up the ram in the computer Plus with 256mb of extra ram on my computer it makes 718mb of RAM awesome!

[DjToronto4]

Sorry i ment 768mb of RAM!

[doomtomb3]

ganged and unganged is only on AMD right?

[PCWizKid]

yes.

[MN12BIRD]

I think its only on newer AMD chips with dual memory controllers.

[pOWeRbYeVIL]

how much do they cost?

[PCWizKid]

Please click on the link beside the video for details at the bottom of the article that have the latest pricing.

[honse246]

WOW im using this on my gaming pc when i get money

[biggus90]

Hey PCWizKid

i know your running a AMD tri core and i got some interesting info about it. if you have a Biostar BIOS then you can unlock its 4th core, just a lil heads up incase you do have a Biostar board

[wufwufwufwuf]

how many of thoz have they given you

just asking as i could do with one WK

[MetalGhost360]

Ganged lol :D

[farter1255]

how do i get to CPU-Z??

[DeadFredVideo]

Google it :P

Its the answer to everything :)

[royboy7632]

i have ocz 2 2 gig sticks at 1066 mhz i have at default setting. do i use the same voltage of 2.2v?

[PCWizKid]

Most likely yes, but you should check with the OCZ website for the exact specs and info.

[stott737]

such a nice computer i wish i had it im jelous =/
