Conclusion

Looking up the price for 32 GB kits of 1600C9 Beast via geizhals, we see that offers currently start at 241 Euros across the EU which is out of the rational range for memory with such low specs. Given the money that gets you 4x8 GB of 1600C9 Beast, it is possible to select from multiple DDR3-2133 rated models of similar capacity or even buy a 2400C10 quad kit courtesy of Team Group.
Despite being disguised as a mid-range product, the 32 GB version of 1600C9 Beast can pack a big punch when it comes to overclocking. However, the overclocking features af the modules are not guaranteed by the specification and therefore can change at any time without prior notice. Looking at what one actually gets in the worst-case scenario, the 1600C9 Beast offer nothing that justifies that price tag and on this ground, these cannot deserve our recommendation.

Award

Consequently, the 4x8 GB version of Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-1600 CL9 receives a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5.
