Kingston HyperX TC DDR3 2000 (KHX1600D3ULT1K3/6GX)

INTRODUCTION

Kingston Technologies has been coming on strong in the enthusiast memory market, producing kits that rival the best kits available. To that end, they have gone back to the drawing board and redesigned the heat spreaders they use on their RAM. Not only have they redesigned the heat spreaders, they fielded the first 2GHz 3GB kit for Core i7, which had the traditional Kingston heat spreader. The original was effective, but now their new T1 heat spreader not only keeps the RAM cool during high speed operation, but adds style and flair.

Memory has been getting faster and faster until DDR3 dual channel hit 2 GHz. Core I7 made the scene with its new lower voltage requirements and memory companies had to rethink designs. Kingston, being a leader in innovation, brought forth the first 2GHz Triple channel 3 GHz kit. We reviewed the first 2 GHz kit of DDR3 TC if you'd like to read that Article, HyperX DDR3 TC Kit Review.

Since the first kit of HyperX running at 2 GHz hit the market Kingston has been raising the bar and fielding kits of Core i7 capable low voltage RAM in every speed, variety, and latency. Now we present you Kingston's crowning achievement, the 6 GB kit of HyperX DDR3 TC 2GHz low latency with the new T1 heat spreader, They've raised the bar again. We have to say, not only do we like the speed, but the heat spreader is just bling. Unlike a lot of bling, it's highly functional bling.

At the Forefront of Memory: The History of Kingston

Kingston Technology grew out of a severe shortage of surface-mount memory chips in the high-tech marketplace in the 1980s. John Tu and David Sun were determined to find a solution. They put their engineering expertise to work and designed a new Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM) that used readily available, older technology through-hole components. A new industry standard was born — and, on October 17, 1987, so was Kingston Technology.
