Kingston hyperX blue Dual channel

jovce17 · Jun 22, 2015

Hi I have 1x Kingston hyper X blue 4GB ddr3 1600 CL 9 model KHX1600C9D3B1/4G

This model has been discontinued.
Now i want to upgrade my system to 8 GB ( to buy 4 more ...)
can you recommend me another model which i will be able to use it in dual channel with my current one??

I have some corsair vengence dual channeled with my hyper x blu's they run fine at 1.6V (kingston has 1.65V as the stated value). The vengence ask for 1.5V but I have both stable @1.6V and CL9.

Your milage may vary.

You will want to buy a new kit of 2x4GB likely it will not be compatible. Find a kit of DDR3 1600 2x4GB and you will be set.

To be honest I wholeheartedly disagree. Most RAM is compatible with any other RAM (of the same type). The default timings may have to be manually changed but so long as it meets the specification for DDR3 you can usually find a compromise which will get you running both stable.

Im considering to buy

and tune both dimms to Cl11
will that work ?

Or is it possible to keep 1 of them at 1.5 and the other one at 1.65 ?

americanbrian · Jun 22, 2015

sorry no, you can't apply voltage separately. However, running 1.5V RAM at 1.65 is very very unlikely to cause it harm (although it may not be stable under load)

americanbrian :

HMm on the ramc specs sheet it says that youc an run it on1 .5 with CL 11
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX1600C9D3B1_4G.pdf
This
module has been tested to run at DDR3-1600 at a low latency
timing of 9-9-9 at 1.65V.The SPD is programmed to JEDEC
standard latency DDR3-1600 timing of 11-11-11 at 1.5V

Best bet is to buy a single package of the full amount you want. There are no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM - EVEN of the same exact model, and no not a good idea to mix diverse voltages. Another thing that can cause problems in tryiing to mix is if the one set is 1600 and 1.65 it may welll be made with iffy memory chips, it shouldn't take 1.65 to run a 1600 set, over 95% of all 1600 DRAM is 1.5 or lower, even the high performance sets
