8GB (2x4GB) Kingston HyperX Blu Red Series DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory (KHX16C9B1RK2/8X) $20 After $15 Rebate + Free Shipping

8GB (2x4GB) Kingston HyperX Blu Red Series DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory (KHX16C9B1RK2/8X) [tigerdirect.com]
- $19.99 After $15 Rebate [highspeedbackbone.net]

Note: Free shipping is advertised on the daily deal page, but Econo shipping appears at $3.80 in cart. I don't know when it will be fixed, but you might be able to get shipping refunded for orders placed before the shipping becomes free. YMMV. See screenshot attached below.

FREE SHIPPING

Quote from Californian

FAR software:

Quote from TDMVP73

Not really. The only other FAR Items still active and not sold out are these:
Total Defense AV Software [tigerdirect.com] - All 3 require subscription activation and credit card # to process rebate. They say you can cancel at any time.
OfficeWork Creative Essentials Software [tigerdirect.com]
Belkin iPad Case [tigerdirect.com]

Note that this is 1.65 volt DDR3 DRAM which means that if you're using a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processor, you will break warranty by running it at 1.65v at 1600 MHz speed; to be safe you should run it at 1.5v at 1333 MHz speed, or simply wait for a deal on better RAM than this. However if you're using something like a Phenom/Athlon II then those can eat 1.65v RAM just fine.
-goldchocobo

This is not the case. You do not void your warranty by running higher voltage RAM. There's simply no way to tell what voltage the RAM was run out if you do need to RMA.
- Molybdate

Molybdate, please do more research before crossing out what I wrote in the wiki. In case you didn't know, the memory controller is integrated into the latest generation Intel CPUs. Intel doesn't really care for overclockers--for years they tried to prevent it before giving up and releasing "K" chips with unlocked multipliers that you were allowed to overclock at your own risk, with no warranty, and that attitude includes higher-than-1.575v RAM.

This is what an Intel rep had to say:

"Regarding your first question there is not any Intel processor that supports more than 1.5V memory.

About the list you sent, it only shows tested hardware with the system configuration described for third party motherboards manufacturers (checking only the i7-3770K processor). Based on the fact that the processor is a “K” unit (unlocked) those manufacturers tested memory over specifications with that specific processor to show customers that the processor supports it in combination with the specific motherboard, everything if the processor is overclocked, however that doesn’t means that we validate that memory to be used with the processor. From our side we don’t validate memory beyond 1.5V because the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) was not designed to support more than that.

The policy says that the customers can overclock their systems by their own risk, this because it is not supported by Intel and besides in case the processor fails due overclocking the warranty will not cover it."

http://communities.intel.com/thread/30798

Here's another intel rep: http://forums.anandtech.com/archi...88678.html

"With the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors like the Intel Core i5-2500K and Intel Core i7-2600K if you use memory at 1.65v you can damage the processor and void the warranty. Back in May I was asked about running memory at 1.65v on the 2nd generation processors and was told that doing so is pushing the tolerance on the memory controller and can damage the processor and void the warranty. The engineer say if you already have memory running at 1.65v as soon as you turn the system on, to go into the Bios and change the setting to 1.5v (which most good memory should have multiple profiles allow it to run at the lower voltage). If you are buying new RAM stay away from anything higher than the 1.5v. I know of 2 cases where someone has run their memory above 1.5v and damaged the processor and tech support has stated that their warranty is void because they are running out of spec. In the end save yourself the headache; just pick up memory at the supported voltage." -Christian Wood Intel Enthusiast Team

In addition to Intel reps stating Intel's policy, there have been various reports online, including on Newegg reviews, about how Intel will void your CPU warranty if your CPU fails and they somehow detect or you admit to using anything more than 1.5v voltage RAM with 5% allowance = 1.575v max. Sure you could lie or whatever to Intel but that's besides the point. A lot of people, including SDers, don't want to break spec and I posted what I did to warn people that Sandy/Ivy Bridge only supports 1.5 volt RAM, max, not 1.65v. You could run this at 1333MHz at 1.5v and that's probably what most motherboards will default to anyway, making this a warm deal ($20 after rebate for 8GB of 1333 MHz@1.5v RAM is basically what this deal is, to them).

I would have to bet for much, much later.

They probably won't even notice it. Usually the shipping is already set to "Free Shipping" a day in advance of the sale, so they won't have to deal with it when the price changes over and the rebate updates.

The only way its probably going to change is if someone contacts TigerDirect tomorrow and tells them about it. However, anyone who does order now can probably get those shipping charges reversed because it is advertised as Free Shipping on the Daily Deal Slasher page.

Make sure you don't have anything in the 2nd address line and you are using a residential address.

Edit: this still doesn't work. Free shipping is broken.

yes it is compatible, assuming your board runs ddr3 ram.
however, it might not run at 1600 unless your ram is already running at that speed.
typically ram unclocks itself unless you turn it up in bios.
you wont see much of a difference though.

There were a few posts in the Dell XPS thread about Kingston having no problems. I'm not sure if its this particular model, though.

Nah, not at all. It's being paired with an FX 4100 build that I'm putting together for my mom.

But with the tax added in for my state (and the shipping right now), I don't know how hot this deal is for me. I might wait it out for something at Newegg since I have a $5 credit I need to use up there anyway.
