Kingston have been around since 1987 and we have seen numerous memory modules from them in the past, all of which have performed well. Today I'm taking a look at the new HyperX Black range and this particular kit is the Kingston HyperX Black 8GB 1600MHz (...
The Kingston HyperX Black 8GB 1600MHz (KHX16C9B1BK2/8X) modules came well protected in the standard memory wallet type packaging, which is pretty much par for the course for this entry level memory. The modules themselves are a good size, not being too t...

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...

There's no getting round it. Intel's LGA 1366 PC platform is pricey. The cheapest compatible CPUs typically cost £200 or more. You'll also need to unload at least another £125 or so for a motherboard. And it would be rude not to snag a decent graphics...

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...

Kingston sent the PC3-12800 24GB kit over a few months ago and since then I've tried to organize some things to really take advantage of the large amounts of memory. Having the ability to get suitable programs and what not hasn’t been easy, though...
Performance on a whole from the module was very surprising; not only was the kit performing better than some higher clocked modules or ones that carried more aggressive timings, but the overclock we achieved from the modules was surprising to say th...

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...

Memory that is running at 1600MHz or higher is what you might call enthusiast class by definition, as most of the world is going to be running 1066 or 1333Mhz when they buy memory for their new Intel Corei7 based computer. Sure some people dont overc...
