Kingston HyperX Beast 2400mhz Memory review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 21, 2012 Featured Tech Reviews, Memory

We are using the MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard with the latest bios. This motherboard is ideal as a partner for this memory, as it costs only £104.99 inc vat today.

The MSI Z77A G45 posted with the memory at 1,333mhz, a safe figure for a first post. The secondary XMP profile is set up at 2,133mhz with timings of 11-12-11-30 @ 1.6V. Not the tightest timings we have seen, but acceptable for the speed.

The primary XMP profile sets the memory to 2,400mhz with timings of 11-13-13-30 @ 1.65V. Kingston have loosened the timings significantly to get the 2,400mhz speeds. Overclocking this memory wasn't massively successful, we managed to get a 2,524mhz overclock with timings of 12-13-13-30@1.65V. The end result didn't reap any noticeable rewards, so we test today with XMP profile 1, as the majority of people will do who buy it.

System validation is available here.
