FAQ
What notebook systems is this memory module compatible with?
This Kingston FURY Impact module is compatible with notebook systems that support DDR4 SODIMM memory at 3200 MHz. It uses a 260-pin SODIMM form factor, which is standard for DDR4 laptop memory. Check your notebook's specifications or manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with DDR4 technology, 3200 MHz speed, and SODIMM physical dimensions before installation.
What is the difference between DDR4-3200 and PC4-25600?
DDR4-3200 and PC4-25600 refer to the same memory standard but use different naming conventions. DDR4-3200 indicates the effective data rate of 3200 million transfers per second (MT/s), while PC4-25600 refers to the peak transfer rate of 25,600 MB/s (calculated as 3200 MT/s × 8 bytes per transfer). Both terms describe this module's performance specification, with PC4-25600 commonly used in technical documentation and DDR4-3200 in marketing materials.
Can I use this 8GB module alongside existing memory in my notebook?
You can use this module alongside existing memory if your notebook has available memory slots and supports mixed configurations. Ensure the existing memory is also DDR4 technology and check your notebook's maximum supported capacity and speed. For optimal performance, matching speed and latency with existing modules is recommended, though many systems will operate at the speed of the slowest installed module.
What does CL20 latency mean for memory performance?
CL20 refers to CAS Latency 20, which measures the delay in clock cycles between a memory controller requesting data and the memory module delivering it. A CL20 rating at 3200 MHz represents a balanced timing profile that provides responsive performance for most applications. Lower CAS numbers indicate faster response times, but actual system performance depends on the combined effect of speed, latency, and memory controller efficiency.
Is this memory module suitable for gaming on notebooks?
This 8GB DDR4-3200 module can support gaming on notebooks, particularly for titles with moderate memory requirements or when paired with a dedicated GPU. It provides sufficient bandwidth for game assets and helps reduce stuttering in multitasking scenarios. For demanding AAA games at high settings, consider higher capacity or faster modules if your notebook supports them, but this module offers a solid upgrade for casual and entry-level gaming.
What warranty coverage does Kingston provide for this memory?
Kingston provides a lifetime limited warranty for this FURY Impact memory module. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime, subject to Kingston's warranty terms and conditions. It does not cover damage from improper installation, physical abuse, or unauthorized modifications. Retain your purchase receipt for warranty validation and contact Kingston support for service claims.
