Did I purchase the wrong RAM?

[adityasrinivasb]

Hi 

 

Yesterday, I purchased an assembled PC from a local dealer. I got the Intel Core i7 4790K processor and ASUS z97-A Mobo.

I asked for 16GB Kingston RAM and he gave me 2 sticks of the Kingston RAM Model Hyperx fury HX318C10F/8. Is this RAM the same one I am seeing in the kingston website http://www.kingston.com/en/hyperx/memory/dual_channel which is 

 

FURY Memory Blue - 16GB Kit* (2x8GB) - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM

Part Number: HX318C10FK2/16

Specs: DDR3, 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V, Unbuffered, Spec Sheet PDF

Timings: 1866MHz, 10-11-10, 1.5V 

 

I doubt that I purchased a previous version of Fury series and not the latest one released by Kingston for the z97 chipset as mentioned in the above website. I see the XMP profile is disabled in BIOS and I don't have the enable option in the dropdown.

 

Can somebody please let me know on this?

 

Regards

Probably, the model numbers match.

The only difference is, and the difference between the 2 serial codes is the ending of Kingston's nameing scheme.

 

Instead of installing a 2 x 8GB kit (10F2/16 at the end of the product code) they installed 2 x 8GB modules (10F/8 at the end of product code).

 

You have 16GB of ram, if you have 2 modules of the HX318C10F/8. It's just done differently.
