So this is the story, back in August I've ordered this but it was mail to the wrong address, then was refunded to purchase this again until about a week ago and it's now Sept 25th. Been using the 4GB HyperX ram now to keep my system from crashing. When I use Adobe Premiere Pro or any other applications the system will crash at times with the stock 8GB 2133MHz but when I added the 4GB HyperX to give me more room when using applications, the system now ran smoothly and no crashes. Point of the story is if you are a person with a gaming laptop or a laptop and only have 8GB of DDR4 and you know that more memory is required when in use of apps, then this is a no-brainer. 12GB will ensure you a better experience than 8GB will. So that is what I am currently running with my specs listed
Lenovo Y700
Intel i7 7600HQ (undervolt for better temps and using liquid metal )
Nivida 960m 4GB
Mushkin Pilot M.2 250GB SSD (read 2,450mb/s - writes 1,000mb/s)
Patriot Ignite 480GB Sata SSD ( read 550mb/s - writes 530mb/s)
Stock: 8GB DDR4 2133MHz (timing and CL are the same for the HyperX)
HyperX 4GB DDR4 2133MHz
I'm sure that I will see a much better improvement if I was to buy 16GB stick of the HyperX when it comes to rendering or editing projects and editing some photos. Test the 4GB in a stress test and it did well and it stays pretty cool while under stress but manages to perform as better as advertised. So I will recommend a stick or two for upgrades to laptops for sure. I'd hope soon I can replace that 8GB stock DDR4 with another HyperX DDR4 16GB stick, one day. But for now, will only have to try due to prices are so high at this time. So pricing does affect how a person thinks about upgrading the memory. But for 47.99 for 4GB does but lucky I saw this in the Amazon deals and score it about 35.09 dollars. I saved one a few dollars and that help. Always make sure you check CL and timing and compatible first for your laptop before purchasing.
