Our friends over at Kingston have just sent us a 4GB kit of their Limited Edition HyperX DDR3-1600 low latency memory (KHX1600C7D3X1K2/4GX). These modules are primarily being sold overseas (Russia/Eastern Europe). They run at 1600MHz and have a CAS latency of 7 with timings of 7-8-7-20 at 1.65V. Being that this kit only runs at 1600MHz and has low timings this should leave a lot of headroom for overclocking. Read on and see how far we can push these modules.
Kingston Technology recently introduced the world's first ultra-low voltage DDR3 dual channel memory kit that operates with just 1.25 volts at 1600MHz. The new offering is part of the new Kingston 'LoVo' (low voltage) HyperX DDR3 High-Performance memory product line. Read on to see how the Kingston HyperX LoVo memory kit performs and see how much power it can save!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
