Kingston memory opinion

[OrionZ]

Hi there folks.This is my new module http://imgur.com/I1IOL2X BUT,i'm a total noob at this so i'd be very grateful if someone could explain if i made a good purchase.
Also,anyone,please explain to me what those numbers mean(11-12-A1....9995402...).
Thank you very much

Cheers!

Well, it's clearly a 8 GB (2x4) set of RAM. It would have far easier-to-read specs on the box of the modules. Kingston is a good brand so I would say you made a good purchase. 11-12-A1 might be timings but look more like serial numbers than specs. Sorry, I do not know much about the labels that come on RAM sticks without the heatspreaders. Someone else may have a better idea on what is happening.

These look indeed like timings.The other nr. is probably a serial nr.The 12800u says it's 1600mhz ram.The rest is really not that important but maybe the kn4gb... nr which seems to be the partnr. of those sticks.

Thanks for the quick response guys These came off Acer Predator desktop so there is no box with them but looking closely and comparing with other Kingston modules i think these might be the HyperX Fury series.
Anyone with better knowledge,feel free to colaborate

They are not hyperX fury,look more like oem models to me.

These are OEM for for the Acer Aspire series of prebuilt computers (the ACR leadin on the model shows that), believe they are a CL11 set which is on the slow side 1600/9 is considered entry level. With Kingston's numbering it appears to be two single 4 GB sticks. A comparable 2x4GB set would prob run $66-68. It equates to their value lines of DRAM (XMP based), the Furies are PnP based and run CL10
