Help with fake HyperX Fury RAM from ebay

jurgo4509 · Jan 10, 2018

I saw an ok deal on ebay for Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb kit. So it looks kinda suspicious because in the pictures the writing looks wierd, and the ram itself isn't like the normal color. What i mean is that the ram itself without the blue plate on it, is green not black like other HyperX rams.

Could you post a link/picture?

It's quite possible the seller has simply used "Kingston" and "HyperX" interchangeably, and what you're looking at is just 'standard' green PCB Kingston stuff.

As i said, the green chip looks suspicious to me.

Not saying this is a definitive answer but:

To quote the article:

Just when we were getting used to the blue heatsinks and green PCBs on Kingston's HyperX memory, eh?

So looks like pre-2013, HyperX's were Green PCB's with Blue heatsinks.

So it's probably safe to buy yeah?
I checked out the item desc. on ebay, and it says that its unbranded. Prob just a mistake tho.
