Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 KHX1600C9D3K2/4G Memory Kit Review
Closer Look
The package on these modules is a clean and simple affair. A big sticker seal across the box identifies the model number, timings and voltage among other important specifications.The memory kits are covered by a plastic see-through cover. The packaging is really good here, as once the seal is broken you can just lift the top cover off. There is no need to destroy the packaging and it is very easily resealable.
The design on these modules is among the best I have seen. The machined HyperX logo with silver accented plate running along the top of the heatspreader is just a plain treat to see. The blue color on the the heatspreaders looks great too. The heatspreaders are not very tall, so they should not cause any problems fitting under CPU coolers in the closest memory slot on the motherboard.
The heatspreaders contain a sticker with memory specifications like timings and voltage on one side, while the other side is adored by a Kingston logo.
Good point. I had to buy some DDR2 recently and I was surprised that the prices went up so quickly. I delayed in purchase and it ended up costing me double. Not cool. DDR3 will see me soon enough.
Please do let us know about that DDR4 when the birdie whispers in your ear. =) Just email any of the editors here, including myself, or let us know in the forum. Thanks in advance.
Hey, buddy.
My HyperX 1600 DDR3 has been OCed to 2000MHz with the latency 10-10-10-26.
Actually, I’d like to upload the CPU-Z capture onto here, though.
