Speed and latency
And these are their latencies measured with CPU-Z (left) and AIDA 64 (right), paid with trial version)
And these are the new ones. For what they cost, some buyers suggest that they may be fake. This is likely. However, I haven't found the supposed differences in mine and it's more likely that they are old but original units.
And there they are already in place. Their installation has little to explain. You just have to be sure that they are compatible with your board and that it supports the expansion. Then just remove the old ones and insert the new ones. Occasionally you will have to set the speed from the BIOS if it doesn't recognise them automatically.
4 new 8GB DDR3, 1866 Mhz modules (Kingston HyperX Fury).
Make, model, speeds and latency: Kingston HX318C10F/8 8 GB DDR3-1866 DDR3 SDRAM (11-11-11-30 @ 838 MHz) (10-10-10-27 @ 761 MHz) (9-9-9-24 @ 685 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-19 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 457 MHz)
CPU-Z and AIDA64 measurements
Benchmarks and stress test
As can be seen in the MaxxMem2 test , beyond the increase in capacity, the increase in speeds and improvement in latency are not as significant. In this case it is limited by the current hardware and is the maximum that the board already supports.
On the left the performance with 16GB and on the right with 32GB
Check with Memtest86 16/32, a software compatible with firmware BIOS or UEFI highly recommended to check the state of the memories and perform stress tests.
Conclusions
I have done the relevant tests opening 40 tabs with some videos in Chrome, that RAM killer browser (long live Brave, the lightest in the tests) and Photoshop moving a giant file with fat layers and other applications in the background and even occupying about 95% of RAM you can still work almost fluently.
It was well worth the expense because it can't be called an investment as these DDR3s will most likely not be useful for the next computer, which I hope I won't have to buy for another ten years.
