Kingston HyperX Predator – 8GB Kit (2x4GB) – DDR3 2666MHz CL11 DIMM

**News Team** · 04-10-2012, 10:00

Today, Kingston has a change of pace for you memory junkies. Their newest HyperX Predator series has a re-designed heat spreader plus a 2666MHz frequency rating, which should pack a serious punch for those looking add some serious bandwidth to their SandyBridge and IvyBridge systems. Let's get the new Kingston HyperX 2666MHz Predator modules to the lab and see what kind of "horsepower" they add.

Another awesome review, Jim. And awesome modules from Kingston. That's exactly what I would expect. They make great products that just work right out of the box. Kingston and G.Skill are my go to choices for memory. Really liked what you said about the aesthetics Kingston chooses. I hope they listen and start offering their modules with black and red heatsinks. They will get overlooked by enthusiasts building high end systems if they don't, especially because other top manufacturers (G.Skill and Corsair to name two) offer quality RAM in a variety of colors.

Great review Jim!! Looks like this kit benched with good numbers right up 2400mhz, any faster and it slows down performance..

Thats because the command rate was at 2T Kenny. I could not get them stable at 1T.

- great set of RAM, A little to tall on the heat spreader for my taste, but still great performance.

Kingston does it again. These are awesome memory sticks.
Good review Jim,........The too tall heat spreaders shouldn't be a problem if you plan for their size.

Watercooling nuts shout get these modules if they are looking for top shelf memory and if you run just 8G, the heat spreaders and a non issue with air cooling as the slots used should not interfere.

Nothing wrong with G.Skill, but Kingston is just as good and sometimes better.
