Kingston HyperX T1 1600 MHz 2x4GB

In this review we will analyze the HyperX T1 DDR3 Kit (KHX1600C9D3T1K2/8G) produced by Kingston, a 8GB kit (2 4096MB modules) with a frequency of 1600 MHz CL9.Although they are part of Kingston flagship memory series, in this case they are dedicated to users less demanding in terms of performance and that prefer cheap memories.

Packaging & First Contact

The HyperX T1 1600 MHz Kit is shipped in a blister transparent on one side, allowing us to have a look at the kit inside.

An adhesive, which contains all the information about the kit, has been used to close the blister. Namely it contains information about the product code, the capacity of the entire kit, frequency, latency and the number of modules.

In the package, in addition to memories, there is a guide for installing the kit; between the various languages ​​there is also Italian.

Once out of the box we can see the memories in all their splendor, the heatsink looks very solid to the touch and provides security from the outset. The green PCB of the memories is very different from the intense blue of the sink, however, once installed the module into the slot, it is difficult to see the PCB.

On one side of the heatsink there is the Kingston HyperX logo and the adhesive bearing specifications on the other side. In this case there not is the T1 moniker as it is for some modules of the series.

The cooling system used is very high and may cause installation problems if you use a CPU cooler from the fairly generous size.
