Heatspreaders look awesome and and do not extend over the modules that much
There is a lot that happened during the course of this review and we were really surprised to see such a mixed bag of results on a whole bunch of fronts. We were pretty satisfied with most of the overclocks that we got out of all the kits of RAM we had...

Abstract: A time was there when people simply picked up a value ram and the rest didn't matter much. Until demands for more processing power increased, so did memory. However one thing that gets overshadowed is the quality kit viz. decent enough for a price and wit...
High grade performance with low grade cost, Heat spreaders for better cooling, Solid performance
None
From the numbers we gathered during our review, there is no doubt in our minds that budget enthusiasts will promptly be adding these kits to their favorite e-tailer shopping cart. The mix of affordability and high performance is a hard mixture to acco...
As we saw today, the Kingston HyperX Blu modules secured their status as one of the top dogs in the performance pen, at least at the 1600MHz speed, achieving excellent performance increases, and particularly with CPU overclocks when the memory was the ...

Could only overclok to 230FSB with our test system, More expensive than many other comparable kits
Overall, the Kingston HyperX 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 dual channel memory (part number KHX1600C8D3K2/4GX) is a pretty nice dual channel kit. It offers fairly tight timings at 1600MHz, and when overclocked it could put up some decent results. While I didn't g...
Professionals, video/audio/graphics editors, and admins obviously understand the real benefits of such a memory kit. They can put it to good use hosting and operating huge servers or programs that would otherwise bring a system with less memory to a ...
Truth be told, these oversized memory kit benefit true power users and professionals more so than anyone else. These folks understand the benefits of 12GB or greater amounts of memory. If you want it for bragging rights, well then, go for it. But, th...
Low profile heat spreaders, XMP profiles, Lifetime Kingston Warranty, Excellent performance and stability, Much less expensive than 3 stick kits
Unless running workstation type system, may be overkill, Overclocking hampered by six sticks of memory
Kingston is renowned for the quality memory and this kit is just another in the long line of great HyperX memory. While Kingston tends to be more conservative in what their performance memory can handle in respect to overclocking; they still provide s...
As we saw today, attempting to overclock 12GB of memory with all 6 DIMM slots populated is no easy task; the results simply are not as impressive as when pushing things with only 3 sticks (in the case of LGA1366) or even just 2 sticks (in the case of L...
