  • Abstract:  Today we’ll to be looking at another nice piece of hardware in the new mainstream DDR3 market. When talking about mainstream and memory the name Kingston should come up sometime within the conversation. For today’s memory de jour we will be testing out...

  • Runs at low latency, Fast, Looks cool,
  • Really no difference between the latencies
  • So it is worth it going from DDR2 to DDR3? Yes it is, and the Kingston HyperX performs admirably well.Of course we like to overclock our ram if possible but I couldn’t get much out of it, but as we know not all ram is the same, so other peoples&rsqu...

  • If youre looking to get into the DDR3 market with a ~$200 kit, the Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600MHz kit is quite reasonable, and produces great results. It can be purchased for $185 from shop.kingston.com. I would suggest purchasing this kit if youre in...

  • The KHX12800D3K2/2G kit retails for about $200 at the time of this review which is a fantastic price for modules that run at 1600MHz. The timings are a bit slow, but this is the king of pricing that allows many people to jump into DDR3 without too much...

  • Performed well in benchmarks, games, and every day use, Room for overclocking, Lifetime warranty
  • High price, Loose timings, No XMP or EPP 2.0 profiles in SPD, Rather high operating voltage
  • As I look at more and more PC3-12800 memory kits I realize just how even the playing field really is with this technology. Regardless of specifications, it is difficult to quantify a significant performance difference in benchmarks and other tests. In...

  • Abstract:  Do you still remember the days when Intel's Pentium 4 was duking it out with AMD's Athlon 64, almost every enthusiast owned an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, having 1GB of RAM was the gold standard, and 160GB hard drives were considered high end? As vivid as it ...

  • None...
  • This Kingston HyperX blu memory turned out to be a little bit surprising for an entry-level offering. You can easily keep it at the JEDEC standard of 1333 MHz and tighten the timings to 6-7-6-20 @ 1.5v for a very efficient and lower voltage set of mem...

  • High voltage, Loose timings...
  • The Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/4G kit of memory impressed me with its performance and quality, but one issue I did run into was stability. I had to set the voltage to the maximum required setting of 1.9v at all times to run them at the listed stock...

  • Shocking! I think this has to be the one set of memory that has overclocked furthest above its rated speed that I have ever tested. After making sure there was no typo on the modules and/or packaging, I was simply stunned. This set of HyperX memory fr...
