ADATA’s newest RAM, the XPG V2 2400MHz DDR3 is certainly evidence of the beauty that RAM can take on. The XPG V2 PC3-19200 2400MHz RAM is a fairly unique looking memory module. The large fins (heat spreaders) that span the top of each module really make it a striking part of your rig. ADATA uses an extruded heat sink and a 2oz. double copper PCB. The heat spreaders remain within the bounds of the RAM module itself, so length is no issue.
Some of the most difficult to answer questions in the enthusiast and high-end gaming PC world have to do with RAM, and more specifically with RAM clock speeds, latency, and timings. What differences do all of these make when it comes to better performance and higher frame rates in games? Typically, the answer is that they do very little when it comes to games. AMD has sought to change that answer with the release of their Richland series APUs, which are designed to take even more advantage of RAM speeds and support up to 2133MHz clock speeds. Intel’s Haswell now supports speeds of up to 1600MHz. Now that more is being done to increase the performance gain from higher RAM speeds, let’s take a look at the results. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we have a couple of new high-speed RAM kits to review. In this article, we will be taking a look at the Kingston HyperX 8GBx2 DDR3-2133 KHX21C11T3K2/16X kit.
Memory upgrades are one of the more common upgrades on desktop PCs thanks to their (reasonably) low cost, ease and in the right system, benefits to performance. Considering most laptop manufacturers go with the bare minimum in terms of memory volume and specification consumers who use those systems could benefit as much as desktop users from an upgrade and that's the focus of today's products, Crucials Ballistix Sport SODIMM.
The HyperX Predator series is one of Kingston's enthusiast level memory kits offering speeds from 1866MHz up to 2666MHz, with 2800MHz awaiting certification. Kits are available in either 8GB or 16GB capacity with several different XMP profiles and CAS levels and from 1.5V to 1.65V voltage requirements. All Kingston memory is 100% tested and backed by their lifetime warranty.
Crucial has recently added a new line to their Ballistix Series of enthusiast memory. The Ballistix Sport XT is part of Ballistix Sport series and Crucial has aimed this kits specifically at gamers. Crucial has improved the heat spreader by making it larger, which gives it more surface area for better heat dissipation. Sport XT modules run at speeds all the way up to 1866 MHz and are available in 4GB and 8GB densities. Today we are going to be taking a look at the BLS4K4G3D18ADS3 kit, which is a 16 GB (4×4 GB) kit that runs at 1866 MHz with timings of 10-10-10-30 at 1.5v. Let’s put this memory to the test and see it is worth getting for your next build!
Targeting extreme enthusiasts with recording-breaking overclock aspirations, ADATA’s 3100MHz XPG V2 memory kit is designed to be the best of the best when it comes to raw frequency. Can the 3.1GHz kit’s performance and overclocking potential prove that it currently sits at the top of the enthusiast memory pecking order?
Picking the right RAM kit has never really been easier thanks to Intel's XMP profiling and quite frankly your choice of RAM has probably never been wider either. Today we are looking at a kit from Corsair, and more specifically their Vengeance Pro DDR3 1866MHz kit with a pair of 8GB modules. These modules are geared towards the entry level of their brand new Vengeance Pro DRAM series and these modules are designed for overclocking, and for use with Intel's Ivy Bridge and Haswell platforms.
The kit we have here today is formed from a pair of 8GB modules running at 1866MHz with 9-10-9-27 CR2 and 1.5 volts. They support Intel XMP 1.3 and come in four different colours - Gold, Blue, Red and Silver. We of course have the silver version and end users will be pleased to know these kits come with a limited lifetime warranty.
Kingston are quite well known for their tendency to release limited edition products that are branded to celebrate certain events or partnerships and the NaVi series RAM kits we have here today are no different. These NaVi series RAM kits are essentially Kingston Hyper X kits branded yellow to celebrate Kingston’s collaboration with the eSports Club Natus Vincere aka NaVi. Kingston says it is aiming these RAM kits at gamers and enthusiasts though I can see the appeal will most definitely be with gamers more than enthusiasts. That is because these kits only come with a 1600MHz speed in either 8GB or 16GB dual channel kits. They do of course come with the backing of Kingston’s quality standards and a lifetime warranty to support that. Part of the NaVi limited edition series also includes the NaVi Hyper X 3K series SSD which will essentially be normal Hyper X 3K 120/240GB SSDs rebranded in the yellow NaVi pattern.
It’s ADATA’s turn to add to the barrage of high-speed memory kits entering the limelight now that Intel’s Haswell processors have been released. Can version two of the company’s XPG kit prove that it is memory with strong overclocking potential?
The Patriot Viper 3 PV38G240C0K memory kit is designed for high performance PCs, and supports Intel as well as AMD platforms. The Patriot Viper 3 PV38G240C0K memory kit has a base JEDEC rating of 1600MHz with 11-11-11-28 timings at 1.5V and has been tested at 2400MHz with 10-12-12-30 timings preset in the Intel Extreme Memory profile. Each kit has been hand screened to run at 2400MHz and validated for compatibility on a variety of systems. Each Patriot Memory Viper 3 series module measures 133mm long and 7.6mm thick with a height of 41mm for increased compatibility with most large CPU air coolers. The Viper 3 series memory kits are available in Black Mamba, Sapphire Blue or Venom Red color schemes and are backed with a lifetime warranty.
