Kingston HyperX 2GB PC3-12800 Memory Review

DDR3 is finally coming to a price where many mainstream system builders will be willing to pay. While the HyperX line from Kingston may not be the mainstream product, the KHX12800D3K2/2G kit is described as the mainstream overclocking kit. It is far cheaper than speedier kits but lacks the tight timings as well. This could be the kit that kicks off DDR3.

..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 hassle. It wasn’t long ago that a kit such as this would be around double the price. If you’re looking for a good mainstream DDR3 kit to run at 1600MHz, this kit is a top choice.
