Today, we proceed with our journey through the lands of Kingston memory. Saving the best for last, we are going to complete the overview of the HyperX Beast series with a 32 GB iteration of the DDR3-2400 model.
It is always better to study your opponent before getting involved in a fight, and this is exactly what we are going to do.

What comes to frequency, voltage and timings, the specifications of the 32 GB version fully match those of its smaller brothers. Now that there is also a huge capacity thrown into the mix, one has to make sure that their platform (more precisely, the memory controller inside the CPU) can handle the extra load. For example, we do not know many Socket 2011 or AM3+ processors capable of running at DDR3-2400 fully stable, let alone with four modules 8 GB each. Even some of the Ivy Bridge users might experience instability induced by the setup rather than the memory.
