Closer Look

As usual with Kingston, the memory is served in two-part plastic packaging that consists of a black tray with a transparent cover.



Inside, we find a pair of ordinary HyperX modules that have been turned green to indicate that we’re dealing with an environmentally friendly memory. Unlike many other makers, Kingston never use custom coloured PCB, so on the standard green, LoVo’s eco-styled heatspreaders look more attractive than all the rest of custom HyperX painjobs.





Held on only by a pair of clamps, the heatspreaders are very easy to detach. While Kingston had a wide range of ICs to choose from, on the kit we have they went with Micron D9PFJ ICs known for their ability to scale with voltage.




Each module is flashed with an SPD that provides basic information on the maker, model, serial number and the production week. SPD is also responsible for setting the memory up out of the box, for which it features four JEDEC profiles and a pair of XMP, second of which suggests that memory will also work at DDR3U voltage of 1.25V.
