The HyperX H20 support Intel XMP (memory profiles) which makes basic overclocking a one step process. These modules have two memory profiles built into the design, one for 1866mhz and the other for 2000mhz. When these profiles are enabled they adjust memory timings as well as CPU clock multipler, bus speed (BCLK), UnCore Clock (QPI/DRAM) and DRAM Voltage.
Selecting 2000mhz proved no issue and we were able to push to 2130mhz with timings of 8-9-8-28 at reference voltage. Room ambient was 24c.
We tested the Kingston H20 modules in two states: passively cooled and then with watercooling. Our results show a 3c drop when idle and a 7c drop when overclocked … significant improvements.
We then decided to relax our timings a little to see how far we could push the H20 memory.
We managed to achieve 2350mhz after loosening the settings to 9-10-9. Let us check out some performance figures now.
incredible performance, price isnt that high either considering
4GB kit is cheap too, these look great, but im not sure id watercool memory. Would be interesting to see some seriously high end systems with these in.
These arent much more than a standard 6GB DDR3 kit, very impressive.
Excellent, but they seem really hard to buy in the UK, distribution problems?
make sense if you already have a watercooling kit I guess, weird they aren’t bundling adaptors though as t hose hoses are a very weird size.
Why not use standard tubing sizes? I understand they dont need thicker tubes for waterflow, but its such an issue for people mixing tubing….
Excellent, really dig this product, looks great too with the black surroundings.
Kingston? I would never touch em for memory, but this looks good for the money
Anyone seen these for sale in netherlands?
Price is really good when you look at what you get. but the tubing selection puts me right off, without adapters.
Great performance with the asus mobo there. thats a serious score
