Cons:None found yet

Pros:Decent budget 8GB sticks that work
Comment:
Nice to have 8gb sticks common now. If only we could start seeing common 16GB sticks.I got no issues with this ram. Installed on an Asus P8H77-I mitx board without issue. Would have no issue getting more of this ram, although really I'd likely just go with the cheapest option around.

Good RAM, pretty pleased.I have it running at DDR3-1800 right now with stock voltage. Prime95 tested and passed. Wouldn't run anything higher than this though, at 1866 I couldn't get it to boot.

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:None.

Pros:Good, stable.
Comment:
It comes to default setting of 1333MHz. As mentioned in other's review, To get the full 1600MHz, you have to set the timing to 10, 10, 10, 27, 2T manually in the motherboard, which is really easy to do.

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:Default to 1333MHz, need to manually set to 1600MHz

Pros:Good Memory
Comment:

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:Overclocking is a no-go.

Pros:Cheap (under $60 for 16GB). Timings can be tightened slightly.
Comment:
I tightened the timings to 9-9-9-27-1T at 1600 MHz with the stock 1.5V. I tried 1866, but no matter how loose the timings, and with 1.65V, it was still a no-go. Still, enough bandwidth for most systems except AMD A10 APUs (which should really be paired with 1866 or higher).

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:No XMP profile

Pros:Great memory from reputable company!
Comment:
Using this kit in ASUS P8Z77-V LE and works great but you will have to set the timings manually to get 1600MHz otherwise defaults at 1333MHz. There is no information on Kingston website about the timings so with google's help the actual timings are 10,10,10,27 1T m 1.5v info taken from http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2021/1/So for people that want plug and play (XMP or SPD) m 1600MHz version you best look at other kits otherwise this is the cheapest 16GB kit you can get in 8GB modules ATM.Enjoy!

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:Mobo auto detect as 1333MHz, not 1600MHz.

Pros:Works as expected. No compatibility issue. Cheap price.
Comment:
My mobo has a preferred list of compatible memories. This one is not on the list. But Kingston's web site has a cross reference back to the chip set and model of my mobo and says it will work. Guess what, Kingston is right. Works like a charm.The comment by one reviewer is correct. The mobo auto detect the memory as 1333MHz. Which is not what Kingston claimed. A bit upset. But thanks to a reviews web site that actually did some tests on this memory and found some optimal settings. If you really want to manually set the memory at 1600MHz, you can have a look at this url "http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2021/5/" as reference. But just for reference. No guarantee the setting will work. Cause different mobo behaves differently.

Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G 16GB Kit 2X8GB 1600MHz DDR3 240PIN DIMM CL10 1.5V
Cons:- Won't work at the advertised speed unless you "overclock" it- No XMP profile- Crappy support

Pros:- Stable in memtest- Low profile
Comment:
The speed encoded in the SPD is DDR3-1333, which means it isn't plug and play. There's no XMP profile, so you can't easily run it at the the advertised speed, you have to fill all CAS/RAS/etc. by hand. Phone Support couldn't answer what's the tRAS I should use when trying to run at DDR3-1600 (default is 24 at DDR3-1333) to try and solve my stability problem with my P8P67 Pro.
