Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it's a bit of a lesson for me but I wouldn't have fallen for it if I knew that Kingston had done a rebranding of their products. The one that I need to purchase is: KF316LS9IBK2/16. It will cost me approximately 3x more than the CL11 fake but I want to be fussy. I think that the ebay seller is a bit deceiving with thousands of feedback >99% and I'm giving them time to respond in my request that they be honest with others in the future about what they're selling, but I won't hold my breath there. Tomorrow I will make time to see if the fake 16gb of RAM passes Memtest OK before I take it out of the laptop and throw them away.

Hello, I was an old member of NBR. I didn't post much but read a lot of the material over the years. I have a MSI GT70 that is over 8 years old and I went to upgrade it from 16gb to 32gb for a bit of fun with the possibility of prolonging its use. I couldn't get the Kingston Hyper X ddr3l 9-9-9-27 on Amazon that I already have in the 16gb (and have since realised that Kingston have rebranded to Kingston Fury), so I purchased Kingston DDR3 memory on Ebay that says that is was CL9. Attached are my results: or https://ibb.co/QCc6vzS as an alternative weblink. The image has my before and after from 16gb to 32gb and I understand that slots 2 and 4 (underneath my keyboard) are the genuine Kingston Hyper X and the slots 1 and 3 (that I've just purchased) are something counterfeit. I should feel a slight grievance right? Although it serves me right for purchasing on Ebay I guess. I have e-mailed the seller to ask them to modify future listings of their to say CL11 as opposed to CL9. I am going to throw these two on the bin and look to purchase a genuine Kingston CL9 once again. Can I mix my old Hyper X branding with the new Fury if the specifications are the same?
