The metal cover may act as a heat sink and help the memory stay cooler - at least that was why I chose this one and not a bare memory assembly

I was a bit concerned about the heat sink, but it turned out no problem.

Low-profile enough to be under my Unearthly huge heat sink

not cheaply made for ram heat sink has hefty well made feel Kingston HyperX

The heat sink isn't overly large and they fit perfectly in a Dell Optiplex 7010 tower.

, it’s not clear that the covers actually touch the memory chips to act as an effective heat sink

Don't know if the metal casing is heat sink or for looks, but I like it

r ram anyway heat sink has hefty well made feel

HyperX 1600, which never missed a

Kingston Awesome as always!

Installed these, turned on my computer and it's working as per my system properties.

It works as you expect

It works as it should.

This is DDR3 memory, so not as fast as DDR4 (the new standard) but for the music build I was making, it worked fine.

After less than six months of use, I noticed the computer wasn't running as well as it should.

Works as they are supposed to.

Worked as i need it to

n’t had trouble even during times of working on heavy loads and times in which the pc was heating up.

Yeah, the bus speed of this HyperX RAM is only 1866MHZ, but those spinner hard drives have been slowing your I/O speed for all of these years

I am using an Intel i7-4790K and this memory has worked flawlessly
