Kingston Hyper X Predator Dual Channel 8GB 2400C11 Kit Review @ Madshrimps

You don't normally see Kingston at the forefront of performance memory options despite seeing them as the option at MOA and other overclocking competitions.

A while back Kingston introduced their brand new Hyper X gaming RAMs to the world, baptized the Predator series. The most obvious visual change is the redesign of the heatspreader. The Predator heatspreader is a bit lower and more refined then the aging blue Hyper X heatspreader. Biggest internal change however is the support for higher speeds and tighter timings out of the box. Kingston had to react to the competitors products. The insane memory speeds that Intel's latest 3rd generation Ivy Bridge support, were way higher then what Kingston had on offer. Today we look at the Hyper X Predator 2400MHz C11 8GB Dual Channel kit, optimized for the Z77 platform.

I use the HyperX memory on my test bench, its fast and stable but when it comes to overclocking I generally reach for GSKill or Corsair.  Given the Predator specs it might be time to change up.
