APH Networks reviews the 16GB dual channel RAM kit from Kingston. Complete with heatsinks and all. Is it still the best in the market?

Have you ever wondered why men are, in fact, better than women at things like math and science? Have you ever wondered why women are, in fact, inferior to men at things like driving a car? Before you start arguing with me -- safely assuming you are female -- of how you have had enough of these stereotypes, let me start you off with some facts. The fact is the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) in men are significantly larger than it is in women. In fact, the physical size of this brain region in the cortex is highly correlated to a person's mental mathematical capabilities, ability to rotate three-dimensional geometric figures in their head, and perception of space, time, and speed. It is just the way things are -- a fact. In the same way, have you ever wondered why desktop computer components are usually more powerful than its laptop counterparts? As with the last example, this is not a stereotype; it is a fact desktop computer components have much more relaxed size, power, and thermal requirements. This very flexibility allows desktops to show off more number crunching muscles than its mobile cousins. When we introduced to you the Kingston HyperX Grey Series DDR3-1600 2x4GB dual channel kit earlier this summer, the original manufacturer of high performance PC enthusiast memory has something that is good, but not exactly outstanding against the competition. On the other hand, if you place it under a shrink ray, and resize it to SODIMM dimensions, does it make all the difference? Let's look at what kind of facts we have in store with Kingston's HyperX PnP KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G 2x4GB: The DDR3-1600 SODIMM set from Kingston HyperX that works at full speed right out of the box with virtually any modern laptop. More facts: Heatspreaders are included.

The supply of RAM reviews continues! Today Kingston wants us to show off their high-end HyperX T1-series to the public. We are looking at the Kingston HyperX T1 DDR3-2133 CL9 2x2GB kit which fits a budget enthusiast role but hopefully delivers solid Kingston performance.

The HyperX name is getting stronger and stronger as the months go on. We see the company hit us with more aggressive modules on a constant basis these days. The best thing, though, is that when we hit that clock speed, we've been able to get even more out of the kit.
Memory
We have to wonder, though; does Low Voltage and HyperX deserve to be in the same category? It seems a little conflicting. HyperX is all about power and Low Voltage is all about taking care of the environment and hugging trees.

Kingston sent the PC3-12800 24GB kit over a few months ago and since then I've tried to organize some things to really take advantage of the large amounts of memory. Having the ability to get suitable programs and what not hasn't been easy, though. Instead I've been using the kit for the last few weeks just to see what I think about it and I've also ran the kit through our normal memory benchmark suite.

The Kingston HyperX LoVo memory is designed for consumers that prefer memory with a low thermal envelope, but don’t want to sacrifice performance, and the LoVo memory does just that. To achieve this feat Kingston used select high quality HYNIX ICs that are capable of running at 1600Mhz with the voltage set as low as 1.35V.

Up on the review block today I’ve got the new HyperX DDR3 ram from Kingston called LoVo. The LoVo names mean low voltage, or lower than we’re already accustomed to for those of us using the Corei5/Corei7 setups. This ram will run at 1866Mhz but it will do this running at only 1.25v, but it’s timings are a bit looser than other kits of the same speed. In my testing though I put the LoVo kit up against another ‘regular’ kit of HyperX that runs tighter timings and found that even though the timings of the LoVo kit were looser the performance was virtually the same.

We couldn't go long without taking a look at another product from Kingston, and this time we see something with a difference. As users are scoping out for the fastest components available they have another thing in mind as well. They want the most efficient running components that money can buy, without suffering with performance and of course not spending any extra than originally planned.
