| Overall, the Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3-2400-C11 is a
good DDR3 memory kit based on SK Hynix BFR memory chips. In a nutshell, it is a
reasonably priced 16GB dual-channel kit. Since this is a mid-range
memory kit you should not expect any miraculously high overclocking frequencies
and results. The
HyperX Savage modules are much more about modding then they are about
overclocking, since you can get those modules with differently colored
heatspreaders. What is also great, is that these sticks feature a black
PCB, so the modules will definitely blend in nicely on a well designed
motherboard. |

| Scaling |
|
+ |
- |
| With CL9, CL10 as well as CL11 latency settings, we almost
see a linear
scaling with 1.65V, which is Intels recommended voltage for this
kind of DDR3 kit, and basically the best performance you can get. Having
a closer look at CL12 and CL13 settings, we see that there scaling is a degression in scaling. This means, that we are closing in on the frequency limits of these chips. We would have
expected scaling to be worse on these BFR based modules but it appears
there is some binning going on behind the scene before these chips make
it onto the PCBs, which is always a good thing. |

- |
| Using the Maximus VII Formula and our specific
CPU memory testing, which has a very good IMC, we were able to drive
these modules to a maximum frequency of 2'599.4 MHz
at CL12-13-13-35 settings. As we already mentioned, this is a pretty
decent result for a reasonably priced 16GB
kit based on BFR chips. |

| Checking Geizhals.at for prices, we found the
Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB, DDR3-2400, CL11-13-14-35 kit listed for 145
Euro. Therefore, this kit is well priced and in combination with the
differently colored heatsinks, it should appeal to both DIY users,
system integrators as well as modders. |
