I bought this memory because I have read some reviews and experiences on the Internet via Kingston. Accordingly, the DDR memory from Kingston to make little problems. This memory here's the new version of the blue Hyper X. I have them bought 2x 4GB dual channel. This is installed along with my i5 processor 4690 on an Asus H97M-E. The memory was immediately recognized without any problems, it Ramparts all without error. The complete system I've tested in Prime95 under full load, as well as in various programs and computer games. Everything went smoothly. Therefore I can only recommend the memory. As the memory gets in the future I will see where I have no doubts that changes that. However, one should pay attention to the fact that memory is supported by the motherboard, a list can be found mostly on the manufacturing side of the mainboard. Taking into it does not it may happen that the memory is not recognized or not come running smoothly. I would in older motherboards rather the (older) blue Hyper take X bars of Kingston, as this is likely to run more smoothly.
