is this ram only made for if you to overclock your computer or can i use as normal ram for gaming like the hyper x (fury)?

I purchased 8Gb of this RAM to be used in a new build with no intention of overclocking. The computer is used for moderate on-line gaming in junction with a AMD 3.8Mhz Quad and dual EVGA 660 GCs. I am pleased with the RAM performance.

No it can be used for for normal use. It can be overclocked too I find it to be very good memory without overclocking it.

this board is rated to DDR3-2400 so you are fine... I don't know where those other answers are coming from, it will clock correctly for your CPU / Ram combo then you can OC to wherever you want.... these other answers are completely wrong... it won't crash anything... it's completely automatic and works great... jeez

What type of speed are you looking for on your ram?When I was researching it said that up to 2400 MHz and Kingston hyper x ram was on sale for a pretty good deal. But if you are looking for looks and performance i would suggest the corsair deliminator platinum (they are rediciously expensive). But yes the motherboard will take both SSD and HDD I have a 2tb with two ssds in raid zero. Runs great!!. Hope this helps.

Yes. After checking, your motherboard is capable of running 1866mhz without any overclock. So you can purchase this set of RAM and all you would have to do after installing them, is go into the BIOS and manually change the speed to 1866mhz because your motherboard will be at stock settings (1600mhz on most boards). But that is all you have to do. I have two sets of the Ares and they perform quite nice. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. Our HyperX Fury memory is compatible with the A75, A87, A88, A89, A78 and E35 AMD chipsets. The MSI A88X-G43 motherboard uses the AMD A88 chipset; as such the HyperX Fury memory is compatible with it. For any further questions or concerns, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for choosing HyperX.

No This is FB DIMM enterprise RAM for DDR2FB Dimm slots. Usually used in Servers and tower workstations.

Mohamed,1600 is the native speed for the DDR3 memory (meaning that it doesn't require overclocking to use it.) I use 1600 MHz ram on mine.These are the supported modes: DDR3 3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2600(O.C.)/2500(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz

I bought Kingston HyperX Beast 32GB. But if you are planning to use a cooler fan like amazon best seller Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo you shouldn't buy this memory because it won't fit. So unless you are going to use water cooling like corsair h80i you should buy low profile memory. Low profile memory is not that tall and allows you to use a wide range of coolers. Do not use the 4790k unless you have bought a good cpu cooling system, otherwise with 4GHz it will get really warm. I use the corsair H80i and my cpu never gets hotter tan 49 degrees C. I don't like wather cooling though, I was forced to buy it because of my memory dimms.

The specs of the motherboard you have (ASUS Maximus VII Hero) say that from 1800 Mhz, you'll have to overclock. If you don't plan to overclock, I say that this RAM at 1600 Mhz is great.

No that's a gimmick. You can overclock it yourself for free with free software. You will void the warranty however and likely fry the thing unless you know what you're doing. This is an amazing card out of the box, you'll enjoy it.

This memory is for enterprise servers, not normal desktops or laptops. Buy any from this link- you want DDR2 667 speed ram to be safe: http://m.newegg.com/ProductList?description=oDXOOTjWHHYJ1sk4rVPAuA%253d%253d&store;id=1&categoryid;=-1&nodeid;=7611&storetype;=2&subcategoryid;=147&brandid;=-1&nvalue;=100007611&showseealldeals;=False&itemcount;=0&issubcategory=true&level;=3&Speed;%7C%7CDDR2+667+%28PC2+5300%29=600006082%7C%7C100007611+600006098

Yes, I can confirm the above specs on this memory. It's the only reason I paid so much for this stuff. Many memory claim to have specs like this, but this one actually delivered. On my Asus motherboard, some other memory, when put into XMP memory mode would give me a message that it failed to "Overclock". But this one has never given me that message. All the memory testing utilities show the voltage and timings to be these specs. It's the real deal. Enjoy.

I use it for both editing in Sony Vegas Pro and play games like Battlefield. Trust me, unless your doing both things at once with max graphics and several 4k renderings going on, you won't even need to overclock this.

I'd like to know the answer to this, as well. I have Corsair Dominator 3x2GB DDR3-SDRAM, and just eyed this myself. And if anyone would know, does it conflict with my Thor's Hammer HSF?

Yes, as this motherboard will handle any DDR3 memory on the market. The Kingston hyperx beast is rated for 2400MHz while that motherboard can take memory clocked over 3000MHz.

That depends. Stock is 1600 but if the RAM will overclock you can get up to 3000 with this board. I myself bought 2400 speed Corsair and it will run the XMP profile easily with a small overclock on the processor to 4200MHz. If I go higher on the processor I have to start knocking the RAM back. If I remember correctly, my max overclock was 4400 with the RAM at 1866.

No you can not over clock with this motherboard. Its still a good board for everyday used.
