Just wanna post a miserable experience at this era of crazily priced ram.
I bought a pair of Adata XPG DDR4-2666 ram from Lazada during Lazada's birthday sale, approx RM800 wallet damage. I could sense that Adata is clearing it's DDR4-2666 stock, while others were clearing DDR4-2400. PCMR probably laughing at these puny speeds. Hoping to find GSkill SniperX 3400 but no where to be found locally.
After 6 business days of waiting, finally NinjaVan courier arrived (via his personal car
) in the afternoon (approx 1:30pm). Yay. Time to unbox:
Nice packaging (with the magnetic flip cover) but...
Failed to POST This is on my ASRock Z170 Gaming K6 motherboard with the latest UEFI/BIOS 7.40 (7.40 is just Spectre and Meltdown fix from 7.20).
Reset CMOS, power cycled, different RAM slot combinations, even try with just 1 stick of ram - I've tried all but failed - debug code 55.
The RGB lighted up, cycling the rainbow color, but fail POST.
After losing all hope, I re-inserted back my trusty Corsair ram and powered up my pc to initiate Lazada's defective product return. Then rush to the nearest PosLaju at 5:00pm for return. Didn't know that I have to bring my own box/packaging, ended up paying RM3.20 for a stack of PosLaju plastic bags just for a proper packaging of these ram boxes.
I thought I could score a good deal on Lazada but end up getting a lemon. Sigh. Luckily didn't waste any precious voucher on the purchase. Anyway, pray that I'll be getting my Lazada refund asap.
Always go back to the distributor and ram manufacturer for information.
They will help but you cannot buy because they have place to buy. Most of the IT dealers are idiots.
I always buy kingston I don't like other stupid name brand
High Classy name are useless only branded long standing brands
If your dealer dont order dont buy
Ask the distributor nicely to help.
