Kingston HyperX memory

I'm looking to buy the 400mhz module. Has anybody confirmed that it's compatible with the K8T Neo? It's not listed on the "official" compatibility list.
Thanks,
Jason

Kingston is not the best memory for this board. Avoid Corsair and TwinMos at all cost.
Infineon, Hynix and Samsung are OK.
If you want faster memory, go for OCZ or GEIL.
It might work, but why bother

Kingston HyperX Memory & K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hello.
I have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board (BIOS 1.3) with AMD 64 3000+ 939 CPU.
I am trying to run this with 2 Kingston HyperX PC3200 512MB memory (KHX3200ULK2/1G). This is the latest "Ultra-low Latency" memory from Kingston.
When I run this memory with NO overclocking at 2-2-2-5-1 at 2.7 volts (standard setting for this memory) with a single module, I get NO errors. When I try both chips in dual-channel mode, I get errors (on MemTest86).
(I also get errors if I run this memory on "Auto" setting in BIOS)
I CAN run 2 sticks of Crucial PC3200 512MB (regular, not Ballistix) at standard settings in dual-channel with no errors.
Has anyone got this memory to work on this board in dual-channel mode? If so, how? At what timings?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to at least find a sweeter spot.
You may even have to go to 2T and non aggressive settings.
Why would the timings work when in single channel mode, but not in dual channel, when the Crucial memory works fine in dual channel at the same timings used in single channel?
On a side note, the Kingston pair was purchased together in a matched set, while the 2 Crucial sticks (actually the memory from my system) were bought seperately over a month apart.
The timings that RZT tried are the exact ones Kingston specifies for that model, there should be NO reason whatsoever they wouldn't work at those timings, dual or single channel.
Please correct me if I am wrong...
First of all, I said "in the meantime," meaning until someone else came up with a better answer. If I have problems with memory, regardless of what the manufacturer says' I hunt for a sweetspot (if there is one).

That's like trying to compare apples to oranges. Two different manufacturers and likely different chips onboard, not to mention likely different PCB design.
What I suspect is either one stick is further out of spec than the other and they are not a properly matched pair. Kingston has a history with the nForce chipset which leaves little to be desired.
That is why you might see very similar systems, and one works with the same ram, and the other doesn't. It's called parametric differences. In short, one stick my be at the upper end of the spec and the other stick may be at the lower end. Then, throw in the motherboard, and the CPU, (now with the onboard memory controller) while we're at it, and you have a real touchy situation. There is little room for lower quality. That is why matched pairs exist. Doesn't mean it's mandatory, however.

I take it you know this person, otherwise this is not making sense or you are a pretty slick hijacker
Matched set can still be flawed, I get em from the best once in a while. It may not be the RAM at all. Only way to tell for sure is to try it on another identical system or try another pair that passes muster in another identical system. All this speculating is useless unless you've exhausted all possibilities.

Not wrong, maybe a little overoptimistic. Some situations warrant different measures. It's not that black and white, nor is it written in stone. At this point it only indicates there is indeed a problem, where it lies, would be better off using a dartboard to guess at this point.

Kingston HyperX Memory for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

Hey will my K7N2 Delta-ILSR support the Kingston HyperX serises DDR400-512MB Ram?
Im looking to buy 2 maybe 3 of these and really want to be sure theyll work.
http://www.ec.kingston.com/shop/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KHX3200A/256&promo=hx2shp
I checked the supported ram list for the K7N2 Delta-ILSR and they wernt on there so i just figured it may be out of date?
So thanx in Advance for info!
p.s. It will support 3x 512MB right?

Has anyone noticed how the Hyper X went from the poor-man's Corsair to being priced equal to OCZ, and usually higher then Geil, as well as usually being very close to Corsair, if not the same? I think only Mushkin beats it out now price-wise...

Help with Neo2 + 4x512MB HyperX Memory

I am having trouble getting correct timings to work with the Kingston HyperX memory on the MSI K8N Neo2 board. My system is in my sig. I have an AMD64 3200 Venice so I read that I should be able to get top performance with my memory. At first I couldn't get the memory speed above 166MHz. I knew I could over clock and get the memory speed up but as my sig says I am using 3 of my SATA ports right now so I can't overclock until I can get rid of one the drives because of the lack of speed locks on SATA1 and 2. So I went and downloaded the latest BIOS (I was on 1.8 and I installed 1.B). After installing that bios my memory speed went up to 200mhz. I went into the cell menu and set the timings to 2-3-2-6-2 and my system appears stable (aka, doesn't hang or crash during boot... havn't done stress tests yet). However, I want to to 1T timing instead of 2T.
When I was using the 1.8 bios and tried to set the timing to 1T the computer would just beep on boot and I would have to reset the CMOS in order to get a display again. With the 1.B bios I can set it to 1T but I get BSOD's during windows boot. The two BSODs I keep getting are "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" with the 1T memory timing. Like I said, on 2T with 2-3-2-6 it appears to work fine without extensive testing but I read that 2T vs 1T is like a 30% performance hit. I tried some of the timings I could dig up on these forums, like 2.5-3-3-6 but to no avail.
Any insight on how I can get the timing to 1T?
Thanks

Kingston Hyperx & Neo2 problem!

KHX3200AK2/1GR Kingston HyperX pc3200 ram, dual channel kit 2x512mb
MSI Neo2 board with 1.4 official bios
0441RPBW 3500+ winchester -- stock speeds
Of course when first building new system I stuck both modules into dimms 1&2 for dual channel. Didn't work, dlink LED says bad memory or user installed error. I pull out the second stick and it then posts fine with 1 stick in dimm1. Install windows, etc and come back to the dual channel problem. Tried runnings sticks in: dimm1&2, dimm3&4, dimm1&3 none worked, all had same error as before and no post.
So I make note of which stick is which, we will say stick A is the one system booted fine with to begin with in dimm1....I tried taking it out and putting stick B in the same exact dimm1, and I got memory error on dlink. Tried running stick B in dimm3 and memory error again. Again tried dimm1&2, 3&4, 1&3 switching sticks A and B so that I hit every possible combination.
I pump up voltage to 2.6 (what the memory says it runs at), still no post. Bump to 2.7, still no post. Ram settings were all on auto, 2T to begin with so I try the listed spec from kingston (2-3-2-6) no post. I can get stick A to run fine at [auto] everything & 1T, or 2.5-3-3-8 & 1T (which I got from cpu-z). But stick B continually fails to post.
Ok....I figure DOA stick, so I try one last test by putting stick B in a Dell we have and it boots up just fine (333mhz limited by chipset). Ran memtest86+ for 15 passes and 0 errors before stopping. I tried running memtest86+ on the winchester machine but it doesnt work, lack of cpu support? So I take stick B back to my computer, set the max dram speed to 333 (since it ran at that on dell) and try just the single stick B again, fails to post in dimm1 or dimm3.
Now I move to different bios...
1.5X = stick B wont post
1.51 = stick B wont post
1.41 = stick B wont post
I've also got a generic 512mb stick that will run the system fine in any dimm slot by itself.
Cliff notes: stick A works fine with system in any single channel slot, stick B wont post even in same dimm the 1st would post in or any other single/dual channel combination. But stick B runs fine by itself in a Dell now so not DOA! What to do?

None of those threads have much to do with my problem :(
I already know these run at 2.5-3-3-8 timings instead of advertised 2-3-2-6, but changing the timings has had no affect on stick B working in this computer. Neither has the voltage.
I just want dual channel, ddr400 speed, whatever latencies, and 1T. I don't see how it could be the cpu's memory controller, or the motherboard since one stick works fine in slots the other *MATCHED* stick doesn't! Time to overnight advance RMA me a new pair.

HP Elitebook 2530p RAM - Kingston HyperX low latency -- not compatible?

Hello, I would be grateful for help! I tried to install the following RAM in two different 2530p Elitebook:
Kingston HyperX --- KHX6400S2ULK2/4G --- These are two moduls, each 2Gb.
I tried it out with only one of 2Gb or both of them, but the notebooks did not boot. Both tested HP 2530p motherboards are model 30E1, version F12, Intel chipset GS45, revision 7. -- One has SL9600 processor, one has SL9400 processor. The operating system is Win XP Prof SP3 / 32-bit.
This is DDR2-6400 RAM with similar specifications to the original RAM (which works fine), but ULTRA LOW LATENCY.
>>>> QUESTION: Is there any compatibility problem known with ultra low latency RAM and HP 2530p?
>>>> OR is the problem that I am using a 32-bit operating system? And this is ONLY for 64-bit OP?
KHX6400S2ULK2/4G
4GB (2GB 256M x 64-Bit x 2 pcs.)
PC2-6400 CL4 200-Pin SODIMM Kit
Thanks a lot, I will try to help with other issues I already experienced, now we have three 2530p in my family.

After reading over the unofficial guide more carefully, i cam accross a link to kingston homepage about a related issue with the KHX3200/xxx modules: http://www.kingston.com/support/faqs/memory/intel_3.asp
This has led me to believe that the KHX3200UL/xxx modules will infact not work, as they are more vigerous than the KHX3200/xxx modules. According to the second solution of that link, i have purchased 2x KHX3200A/512 modules (same ram with slower timings) which, according to kingston, should work with i865 boards. Is anyone able to confirm this?
Thank you again

Msi Neo2 Kingston HyperX PC3200 BH5 Any Good ?

Hi Guys
Anyone using 2x256mb Kingston HyperX Pc3200 Bh5 on the neo2?
curious at what fsb/timings u can run.
and if 3.1-> V would help.
thinking of buying a pair but would be great seeing some results first.
thx in advance.

nice thread crap...
i ordered the exact ram you are talking about, and it is a STEAL at its current price at outpost.com. ill be receiving my sticks tomorrow, so ill have to wait and see what they can do over the weekend.
however, its been shown that BH-5 memory performs at its best at 3V+, and this board can only do 2.85v. so, it remains to be see what can be achieved. i hope a BIOS update will bump up the voltage.
go ahead and get it. its a great deal at that price.

Kingston HyperX 2x 512MB + MSI K8T Neo2 + 3200 Winchester = SERIOUS ISSUE

OK, so thats the spec:
Microstar K8T Neo2
Kingston HyperX DDR 2x 512MB PC-400 (KHX3200ULK2/1G) CL2 (producer's timings : 2-2-2-5-1)
AMD 64 3200 Winchester core CPU
And here's the problem, watch out - its gonna get real wierd from now on :D
First setup: Green Slot 1 + Purpule Slot 1 = system dead
Second: Green 2 + Purp 2 = system dead
Third: Green 2, only one dice installed and heres what happend: It booted (wow!) but.. the system recognizes it as a 256 dice !! I've triple chcecked, its a double sided 512 module! When I insert both modules into green1 and green2 the system sees only 512 megs while it obvioulsly should see 1 GB !
I have totally NO IDEA whats going one. The memory modules had been chcecked on a dual channel Nforce2 with a Barton CPU and it works perfectly at peak timings with the proper memory ammount.
I ask You, what the hell is going on ?

Interestingly enough I have exactly the opposit issue.
With BIOS 3.0 my system detected all the memory.
I updated to 3.2 and now it only detects 1/2 my memory. I tried all the slot swaping same issue.
I've downgraded to BIOS 3.0 and my system randomly shuts off.

P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Problem

Hi!
I bought a P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Memory Kit + CPU Intel E8400 Duo Core. I can't get my system running at 1066Mhz. I upgraded bios to version 1.2 but it still doesn't work. I set many configs but windows xp does not boot or the machine keeps rebooting.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same set of memory modules. The proper settings for DDR2-1066 clock speed vary between BIOS Version [after all DDR2-1066 for these modules is a double overclock: memory controller beyond specs and memory chips beyond specs]. I never had problems to get both of these sticks to POST in Dual Channel mode on this board. DDR2-1066 can be tricky with some BIOS Versions but DDR2-800 has to be possible at all times with all Versions (at least, that never was a problem in my case).
The Bottom line is: If you can't get your system to get through POST @DDR2-800 MHz with both modules in dual channel configuration, one of the follwing explanation to come to mind:
- short circuit within the case affecting one of the memory slots [test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface]
- defective memory slot [if you have tested in Slot 1 & 3, try Slot 2 & 4 and see if anything changes]
- faulty modules [maybe one of them [did all 10 memtest tests pass on each module without errors?]
- faulty mainboard

I would like both sticks working together at 1066Mhz. Is this possible?
It should be possible, yes.

Hey everyone, so I have a NF980-G65 mobo with the kingston hyperx mem (KHX1600C8D3K2/4GX) and I'm trying to find stable clocks for the ram. Also I'm runnin an AMD Phenom II 955 @ 3.8ghz. Anyways take a look at my picture here..
My question is, are my timings acceptable here for stability purposes? I read in another forum that the Phenom II's run better with lower "tighter" timings. However as you can see in my pic I have a LinX stress test results showing it passed all 20 loops with ALL memory selected @ timings of 8-8-8-24 @ 1.67V. If I pass this test, does this mean I'm very stable? Also, if someone else has this mobo with this ram, have you overclocked any higher? Thanks everyone
Too much voltage brother
you should darn near never hit above 52*C on a Deneb... anything above 50*C and you start to loose performance. Your borderline Max hitting 57*-58*C

No signal output on monitor after installin hyperx memory

I bought 2 512 pc3200 cl2 184 kingston hyperX (KHX3200AK2/1GR)
My mobo is msi k8n neo nvidia nforce 3 250gb chipset board
I have cpu 3400+ amd
I took out my 1gb of 2700 ddr333 to install my new ram ddr400 3200 hyperX kingston and when I turn on my computer, i get no signal in my monitor, i checked the cables, and what it does it goes black and then back to sayin no signal output on the monitor

Replace monitor cable with a good one. If machine still won't boot then...
Follow Bejon's instructions carefully (remembering to remove power cord and waiting 3 minutes before opening case to reset cmos, then closing case after you have reset cmos as described in the user manual, and reattaching power cord after case is reclosed). Once you can boot (with one stick of ram in slot closest to the cpu if you cannot boot with 2 sticks) hit "del" key to enter bios, select "optimized defaults", enter "cell menu", set dram/memory voltage to 2.75 (or higher if manufacturerer of HYPER X memory recommends more power - don't worry about flashing red warning, memory can handle it), then use "F10" and "yes" to save settings in bios. Good luck.

Problem: 4 x 512 MB Kingston HyperX DDR400 @ 320

I added other 2 sticks of ram at my configuration to have 2 GB total: 4 x 512 MB DDR 400 Kingston HyperX.
The problem is that before (2 x 512) they ran at 400 Mhz, now (4 x 512) they run at 320 Mhz. I tried to relax timings (3-4-4-8) and set slow mode with voltage of 2,75 ~ 2,90 to get 400 Mhz but the motherboard reset all at 320.
I read that someone on this forum got 1:1 with 4 x 512 mb ram, is there any trick? How can I get my ram back to its nominal frequency?
Now I have 2 GB but they run slower than before.
Any help is much appreciated.

evil ryu.
I run my 4x256 modules at SPD (CL3) / Ultra Turbo, you don´t need no manual settings if the mem.modules can handle it.
Well, i thought Turbo sets the timings to 2-2-3-5 and Ultra Turbo to 2-2-2-5, no? For example, when i had my TwinX 3200LL from Corsair, which couldnt do 2-2-2-5, Ultra Turbo mode never worked, until i disabled SPD and set the timings manually. Maybe thats not the case with higher rated CL3 RAM though. Ever way, that idea just stroke my mind and so i posted it. No big deal.

SSD Speed Test on MBP 13" Kingston HyperX 120GB

Whats up guys/gals?
First of all i just picked up my first MBP 13" from the Apple store on 9/11/13
In those few days ive done a few things.
First i removed the HDD and installed my Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD that was previously in my desktop.
I also removed the optical drive, Installed the stock 500GB drive in a Data Doubler.
Its boothing quite fast and its nice to have all this extra storage, however,
on "Disk Speed Test" im only showing 140MB/s write & 410MB/s read.
I have not done anything with system settings after installing this drive. Do i need to enable TRIM? Is it ok to sleep the MBP (close the lid) on the SSD?
The speeds seem a bit slow for a SSD. Is there anything i am missing?
Here are some photos.

Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test? You could have something like a thermal sensor that isn't working properly and your fan never gets the signal to increase speed.
Hopefully you are under warranty and can get this fixed for free. It would be prudent to find out what's wrong and get it fixed even if you have to pay--it should not be a very expensive repair.
Good luck!

Msi K8n Neo2 Platinum & Kingston Hyperx 1gb Pc3200

I have recentrly bought a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM together with KINGSTON HYPERX PC3200 1GB KIT (which should run 2-2-2-5-1T)
But for the moment I only get them stable at 2.5-3-3-8-1T)
If I change from 2.5 -> 2 NO BOOT , i have to use the reset jumper...
The voltage I use is 2,75V
What can you guys suggest ?
Best Regards,
Yves

yes, when I changed the 2T to 1T I noticed a rather big diference ...
but still ... I bought those for the 2-2-2-5-1T setting so I will rma them if I can't get them to run at that speed...
I have send an email to kingston ... also waiting for their reply ...
also this evening I will try it with a more powerful PSU !
best regards
Yves
