    I have it in my m11x, seems to work fine (though only at 800) I feel as if it is a little hot though over the section where it is located. it is at 6 latency at 800mhz

    Don't get the Corsair, its clockspeed is only 1333Mhz, when it has now been clarified that all CPU options for the m14x allow clock speeds of 1600MHz

    Go with the Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600MHz, thats what I'm going with.

    The links people have been posting are "Out of Stock"

    But I did some research and the Serial on these are different, but same Memory, also in stock. Only difference is heatsink.

    Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G

    You can match serial with the ones from the GREAT review.
    Kingston HyperX 8GB 1866MHz PnP Memory Kit For Notebooks - Sandy Bridge Notebooks Get HyperX Treatment - Legit Reviews

    ^---- That link is a review of both 1866 and 1600mhz options.


    I just ordered these from Newegg. My system gets here next week, CANT WAIT!

    "Don't get the Corsair, its clockspeed is only 1333Mhz, when it has now been clarified that all CPU options for the m14x allow clock speeds of 1600MHz"
