Conclusions

The 8GB 1600 MHz Kingston HyperX Memory are perfectly suited for those who need a large amount of memory for rendering, encoding, etc.. However we were not satisfied with the overclocking performance of this kit, in fact, even with high timings, we were unable to reach the 1866 MHz frequency. However, we emphasize that despite the stated operating voltage of 1.65 V, the memories are stable even with lower voltages, below the limit recommended by the Sandy Bridge platforms (1.57 V).

The cooling system used is great, ensures very low temperatures and is finished in every detail; its size can still cause some installation problems with some CPU dissipation systems. Build quality is at the highest level and being derived from a full block is very durable.

In conclusion, the price of this kit is around € 90 quite in line with other kits of similar characteristics.Therefore we recommend this kit to anyone who is not willing to spend a lot of money for a kit of RAM, and seek high overclocking performance.
