Kingston HyperX 6GB DDR3 2000MHz CL8
Best high speed memory for performance focused system builders.
This Kingston HyperX memory kit offers high performance for enthusiasts, featuring three 2GB DDR3 memory sticks clocked at 2000MHz with timings of 8-8-8-24. The kit includes tall Kingston-blue heatsinks for cooling, though users should verify CPU cooler clearance. It supports Intel XMP for easy setup, but requires careful voltage adjustment for optimal stability with certain CPUs. Benchmarks show superior read speeds and lower latency compared to other DDR3 kits, especially at its stock 2000MHz speed. While it can be overclocked, performance gains are marginal beyond its rated speed. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this kit is a premium option for those seeking top-tier DDR3 performance.
