so i'm running memtest86 on my 2 year old ADATA 2 x 4GB ram and right now it has 206735++( increasing) errors and currently at 6 Max Contiguous error thus im assuming its bad as im experiencing BSOD every now and then.. im thinking of getting new ram from amazon..

which one should i get ?

Im on B85M-G43 MSI mobo.

  1. Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00 - 50 USD
  2. Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX316C10FBK2/8) - 54 USD
  3. Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz PC3 12800 240-Pin DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) - 54 USD

also, how will the warranty be like or would i be better off getting from local retailers at sls ?

Thanks in advance!

For Crucial/Corsair, think must send back to US for RMA.
For Kingston, saw before the local distri will assist with RMA to Kingston TW.

If you're not worried about warranty, or shipping back to US, just order from Amazon. I got my RAM from Amazon.

why not buy from amazon wor ? cus of the warranty ah ?

Cos in recent months, if you wait for the right promos/rebates, some of the local pricing can be pretty close or equal to amazon pricing, plus you get local warranty support.

Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866 CL10 1.5V DIMM Black / S$74 (with $20 off voucher) / Lazada

Is there any Rams with international warranty?
I saw Gskill ram with discount during their prime sales.

I was reading Corsair's forum. There's a Corsair employee who has posted on multiple threads stating:


So I guess they consider their warranty worldwide. In the sense that you can still get warranty support even if you bought your item from another country, but they will let you know the nearest RMA receiving location to send it to. For SG the nearest RMA location might be in Taiwan, so maybe don't need to send back to US. Sound similar to Kingston/Gskill.

RMA Return Addresses
We have multiple RMA receiving locations worldwide. Your RMA confirmation will specify the specific return address you must use when sending your RMA package. This will be your standard return location and should not be changed without prior approval from Corsair. Any packages received at an unauthorized location may be refused and returned to the sender at the sender’s expense.
