If youre still running a system that uses ddr3 your ram isnt the bottleneck
For DDR3 RAM you should be getting 16GB for around this price. Not 8.
Some 1 might need it
DDR3? (shock)

4 generations older.
On idle maybe. It has 4 less threads and stutters like any 4c4t cpu 2600 otoh is very usable
You have to keep looking at auctions, they come up all the time and always sell around 50-60. If you aren't in a rush it's a much better deal. Also try putting best offers on any that allow that and recently listed.
I literally just looked on recent sold and 6 sold for £50-60 on 9th August with the exact spec I posted. I paid around that price for one earlier this year also they pop up all the time. Look at auction not buy it now, that's where the rip offs sell. Anyone who pays £150 for that spec is a fool
I think you are dreaming mate 6th gen i5 ones are more like £150 not £50, you can get a i3 one for £50.


Currys are terrible through eBay.. they cancelled an order I placed for something else a few weeks ago with no reason and the money has still not been refunded and they ignore messages on eBay
Curry`s really need to sort themselves out... glad you got your refund now. Cheers
Refund issued by eBay. Currys stated that they don’t check what items are inside the boxes when shipping out. Reassuring. Hopefully pick up a Zenbook at some stage.
Thats sad news :(
Update - Curry’s have failed to reply to any messages that I’ve sent. There is a number 01636 595850 which of course they never answer. I’ve no other option but to initiate a return for a refund, and forfeit any claim that they send me the correct item. They of course have Zenbooks for sale but unless I can get speaking to them this is a dead duck. They really are not very good.

Thank you buddy. Ordered!
You are in luck rapssd your Dell and the memory above have both a 2 slots dimm and they run to the same speed.
Hi, are these substantially wider than standard sticks. Currently I have 2x DDR3 sticks in my Dell 9010 MT, and have 2 slots free. I was thinking it buying 4x Corsair sticks to replace but am not sure on their sizes. Thanks
Got it, I'm running an old FX and overclocked, just need more to run call of duty, 8 is not enough, one benifit of running an overclocked 8 core FX and a R9 280x graphics card is you don't need to turn on the heating
For the record I've never said 1600 CL9 was better than 2400 CL11. Regarding the CL or Cas Latency see link bellow https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/cas-latency-ram-cl-timings-glossary-definition,6011.html I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well but again the lower CL number the better. Also, just to reiterate, I understand this deal is not for everyone my motherboard only allows for ddr3 and maximum speed without overclock is 1600. For people like me getting this specific ram this is a good deal. Try to get any DDR3 ram at any speed these days.

Looks like the memory industry thinks we've forgotten about their dirty price fixing scandal and are bumping the prices back up.
This would be good for the Lenovo m93p tiny desktops.
For laptop almost irrelevant anyway, not like going to be overclocking

The Ddr3 is still very much in demand. I was looking for 8gb for long, but pricey..
You can get 4GB 1600Mhz from CeX for £6 (plus £1.95 p+p). They also have 1866Mhz and 2133Mhz 4GB sticks for £8

Yes, the very one. Thanks very much. (y)
Was it https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-inspiron-17-pentium-dual-core-2gb-ram-250gb-hdd-vista-premium-windows-7-329-at-carphone-warehouse-486573 ? If so, you're welcome and I'm delighted it is still working great!
Returns online are straightforward and free, although not fast at the moment. And returns in store have always been painless for me but that may vary by store to some extent. Mistakes do happen but it's not always a bad thing. I bought a load of RAM the other day and amongst my local store's stock was a stick labelled 2GB that was actually 4GB and a SODIMM stick labelled 4GB that was actually 8GB. With the kind of store CeX is you have to take the rough with the smooth and yes, it certainly helps to know what you're looking for and looking at. I can appreciate it's not for everyone though.
My Dell Inspiron, as listed on HUKD in 2009, is still running perfectly happy on DDR2. My best ever HUKD purchase.
I would 100% avoid. I have twice bought RAM from cex online. Both times they sent the wrong RAM. Across 2 orders they made three mistakes: wrong size, DDR3/DDR4 mix up, wrong speed. You'll also risk a wasted journey in person, because the people in these shops have no idea about RAM (and didn't even bother/know to Google part numbers to check what certain sticks are). Only worth it if you have a cex near you as part of another routine, and you know your stuff when it comes to RAM.

If you're fine buying used you can get a pair of 4GBs from CEX for £17.50, two year warranty too, so on a older ddr3 laptop shouldn't matter too much. https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=smem412800204&categoryName=memory-laptop-ddr3&superCatName=computing&title=4-gb-pc12800-ddr3-1600mhz-204-pin-memory

These work in your PC, but I would buy matching RAM from ebay. You can buy 1x4GB DDR3 RAM for £6-9.
Thank you for the reply... I appreciate it!
To check compatibility check motherboard documentation + BIOS version. Luckily in my case 'shuttle' has nice documentation of what CPUs and memory modules are supported.
Have you seen any deal on DDR3 SO-DIMM (204 pin) 1.5v (or dual voltage)? Want 2x8GB. I tried one from cex but it was DDR3L didn't work with shuttle DS61 1.1
Good price, just sold 4x 4gb of this for 59 quid used....

No dvd drive tho.
ouch my mistake. Indeed you cant on this particular one , Even is usff , usually there is a riser card for expansion cards, i thought is one of those, but on this model it doenst have any kind of expansion slot , just 2 slots of ram . So for others "IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ADD A GPU"
This is a usff, not an sff, is that definitely possible?
Not a bad kids gaming pc then tbf.
yes you can add a gpu later, but only a low profile one with no external power need it , although the choices are slim

Unbelievably irrelevant comments above, if your computer takes DDR3 then this is a good set of RAM. Okay DDR4 is newer/better but if you motherboard doesn't support it then it would be a waste of time and money to upgrade your motherboard for the little difference it'll make. Please everyone do ignore the toxic comments above, I know people are bored in this lockdown but come on guys (annoyed)
Ive found DDR3 is selling for £50+ on ebay so no not half price
Not a bad price at all if you want ddr3. Maybe not the bargain of the century, but it wasn't long ago that ddr4 was way more expensive and now that ddr3/ddr4 are similar in price it doesn't mean everyone suddenly has mobo to fit those cheap ddr4 sticks into. I am still using my top of the range Intel ivybridge because it works and I am better off investing money in a gpu apart from that it all works well and will continue to...
Great I'll just fit some DDR4 to my Asus Z97 motherboard.
Yeah, not too say ddr3 is bad if your pc supports it but... I would never spend this on ddr3 now, £24ish for 16gb used and it works the exact same

And me pls I need a new provider
Thanks for posting something about illegal streaming Great read. IPTV is not all illegal? you understand this yes? I do feel safer now i read that, i feel like i understand not to illegal stream anything and my life is much better for it. Thank you. Next time i'm outside i will feel safer and i thank you for that africanspeed

IPTV isn't illegal. Please google And Seek help.
Away and boil your head you tube!!

That's my point, no one is going to want 2x2gb or 4x2gb sticks now, that's why I said the use case will be very limited (if it even exists). You mention old workstations like Dell's but the ram won't work in those and if it does, it will clock itself down as they don't support XMP or clock changing in the BIOS.
Same here.The 2 year warranty is great as is the expiry date on vouchers they give.I'll expire before mine does! Got an i3 2120 for £6.50 delivered as none in stock locally.Cheaper than Ebay. Would have got some more DDR3 memory from them, but was lucky enough to win an Ebay auction for 4gb for less than the cost of 2 x 2gb from CEX (and nearly half the cost of what they sell 4gb for) :D
I have a CeX within a mile of me so that’s what I do. I got the i5-4590S from there too. eBay is fine for components but you never know what you’re getting, with CeX you have easy returns and 2-year warranty. They were better still when they did free postage on everything.
Yes, CEX is the place for cheap DDR3 and some Intel i3 and i5 cpus. 2 x 2gb sticks will set you back £4 if you are lucky enough to have them in a nearby store Also Ebay is good for ram and cpu's if you get the right auction. ;)
With an i5-4690K and wants 2x2GB sticks? I have a compact PC I use for gaming with an i5-4590S and installed 2x8GB in it because it’s cheap as chips now. Anyone with a high-end DDR3 machine has almost definitely populated all the slots or filled it with lots of RAM by now. CeX are the go-to for cheap DDR3.

Dang, missed out. Perfect for me, still using my old rig thanks to macbook pro random shutdowns. Wont be going Apple ever again. But this ram would have kicked my pc up to date.
Spot on analysis there (highfive)
Obsolete, lol. The fact that that this deal expired so quickly shows some of us still use it. (nerd)
Expired.


Back in stock
I bought this PC last time it was on sale a few weeks ago. You can install a second 2.5" HDD (maximum capacity 2TB) with this caddy that I bought from Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EY50UL0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope that helps anyone who wants to add additional storage.
Um... yeah, you're right. So used to seeing the SFF with low-profile slots on HUKD. 200W is enough headroom for a GTX 1050 Ti LP though (about 70W full-load). But Lenovo does have a weird power limit on the PCIe slots of around 35-40W on some machines.
Ha, yup you're right.
very good spec for the money....

Interested in clearing out that wardrobe? I’m in the market for 16GB DDR3 1600.
Pretty poor even for DDR3, 1600 or 1866 was the most common go-to. That said, I'm surprised people would pay this much. I have 2x8GB DDR3 1866 collecting dust in my wardrobe (lol)
90 odd on ebuyer, 75 on ebay, but as low as 43... good price to freshen up an old board
very good for ddr3 (y)

Sold out
Thanks OP - always worth checking HUKD for this sort of thing (y) actually slightly cheaper now ~45 & was able to use a 5off voucher so a decent upgrade for 40-ish quid!
had 32gb total of these running in my Dell XP laptop for about the past 8-9 years and they've been running great :)..... and trust me, back then they cost me a boat load more than this !
Thanks OP. Just in time when I was about to look for one. Ordered for my testing ThinkPad X230. Would be nice upgrade from 8GB or 16GB.
Yes, I use this in my Mac mini 2012

Yeah I had trouble running at 2400 until I manually set the timings as a 4790k is technically supported by 1600, some CPU's will happily run it but some are picky like mine.
I had an alert on fleabay. I wouldn't recommend 2666Mhz over 2400Mhz though as I have been having problems finding stable timings due to the IMC limits. I've not tested that precisely, CL10 Vs CL11, but I've seen that each CL step down is almost, but not quite the same performance boost as the next step up in MHz.
My DDR3 2400Mhz is CL10
I have a similar set up with an 4690k. Ive been looking at ram upgrade, what sticks did you buy? Is there much real world difference between cl10 and cl17 (@2400)
I had it at 4.7 but didn't see the point for the extra heat, not much difference to be honest and I run 24/7 with 4.4 and has been rock solid, you can only polish a turd so much before it just becomes shiny turd ;-)

FFS, I just bought 16gb of Corsair vengeance for 64 quid. My i2500k still feels pretty nippy for what I do and the ram seems to work well with the 8gb I had originally 8)
If you are binning off your creaky old 4790k I'll give you a tenner.
Pretty pointless spending upwards of £50 on a DDR3 RAM on an ageing machine. Rather sell the PC and get a new one. It will last a lot longer and will be a massive improvement over an old PC. DDR4 3000 can be had for nearly this price. And if you still want DDR3 because you cant sell, then just get used DDR3 RAM. Much cheaper and reliable just like new ones.
Not 100% sure, I think probably 2nd gen.
What processor is it? Like what gen
Dont bother i brought this had so many issue keeps powering off, the vrm fans are crap aswell Avoid buying it, it's old hardware
All absolutely true, but I don't think anyone is really claiming otherwise. If you're after, say, a dev database, this might be right up your alley.
Is this one of those Frankenstein motherboards cobbled together from used parts? you may have faith it in it but that just shows your naivety. I would guess you will never have any bios updates, drivers non existent too.
The best part about this is that it's not even an X99 motherboard - it uses a C610 or C612 server chipset (no guarantee of which one you'll get according to the listing)! The board is so stripped down it doesn't even have a temperature sensing chip FFS, and the RAM is of course no-name-brand (almost certainly using manufacturer-rejected memory chips). Russian roulette is a stronger guarantee than this POS. It may "only" be 180 quid, but it's 180 quid of trash.
Lot of KVMs still use PS2 connectors, they tend to work more reliably when switched than USB.
