Test: Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3 2400MHz 16GB

Konklusion

Kingston har smidt et par super hurtige DDR3 moduler på gaden med deres HyperX Predator serie, kendetegnet ved HyperX Predator er den gigantiske heat spreader som giver nok køling, hvis modulerne presses yderligere end de opgivet 2400MHz.
Sammenligner vi den store heatspreader med Kingstons tidligere model (HyperX T1)  er den nye heat spreader krympet fra 60mm til blot 53,9mm. Herved er der bedre plads til en stor CPU køler.

HyperX Predator kommer i forskellige hastigheder lige fra 1600MHz og helt op til 2666MHz, endvidere er alle Predator rammene XMP certificerede samt testet på en række top bundkort for at sikre den bedste stabilitet som overhovedet muligt.
Kingston giver også livstidsgarant på HyperX Predator serien, så man er i sikre hænder, hvis uheldet skulle være ude

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
HyperX Predator er rettet mod den ekstreme overclocker eller entusiasten, som ønsker at presse sit system til det maksimale hvor Predator er det oplagte valg.
Kingston har med Presator serien haft fløjlshandskerne på, da alle moduler i HyperX Predator er håndtestet af Kingstons egne teknikere for at leve på til deres strenge krav.

Design/Layout - 3
Overordnet set er designet ganske pænt, det er dog ærgerligt, at Kingston har valgt den store heat spreader (køleprofil) til deres nye serie, da dette nok vil afholde nogle fra at købe disse ram, pga. af for lidt plads mellem cpu sokkel og RAM slot, hvis en stor CPU køler benyttes.

Ydelse - 4
Her performer HyperX Predator jævnt hele vejen i alle tests, er sikker på, vi havde kunne presse mere saft ud af disse moduler, hvis muligheden for overclock havde været til stede.

Pris - 4
Prisen på ca. 860,- DKK ligger i den helt rigtige ende af skalaen, da alle med et moderart budget kan være med her.
   

UK summary

Kingston has thrown a superfast DDR3 modules on the market with their HyperX Predator series, which is characterized by the giant heat spreader that provides enough cooling if the modules pressed further than the abandoned 2400MHz.
If we compare the large heatspreader with Kingston's previous model (HyperX T1) is the new heat spreader shrunk from 60mm to just 53.9 mm thus there is more room for a large CPU cooler.

HyperX Predator comes in different speeds ranges from 1600MHz and up to 2666MHz, all Predator RAM is XMP certified and tested on a number of top motherboards to ensure the best stability as possible.
Kingston also provides lifetime guarantee on their HyperX Predator series, so you're in safe hands if an accident should happen.

Innovation/Technology - 4
HyperX Predator is targeted at the extreme overclocker or enthusiast who wants to push their system to the maximum where the Predator is the obvious choice.
Kingston has with the Predator series had velvet gloves on, since all modules from HyperX Predator is hand tested by Kingston's own technicians to live up to their stringent requirements.

Design/Layout - 3
Overall, the design quite nicely, it is a shame that Kingston has chosen the large heat spreader (heat sink) for their new series as this will probably deter some from buying these ram, because of too little space between the CPU socket and RAM slots if a large CPU cooler used.

Performance - 4
HyperX Predator performes evenly all the way in all tests,'m sure we'd be able to squeeze more juice out of these modules if the possibility of the clock had been present.

Price - 4
The price 860,- DKK are on the right end of the price scale, where most people can afford these Kingston HyperX Predator without being totally ripped off.
