Kingston HyperX H20 6GB DDR-2000 Review

When I was in charge of DriverHeaven I wrote a scripted benchmark which was not only used to help users ascertain system specific performance levels but was useful in reviews to accurately measure performance in key areas. Leading tech sites such as Madshrimps, Hardware Canucks, Benchmark Reviews and Hardocp used my benchmark in their reviews also.

This version of the script has been thoroughly tested on Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS4 and is compatible with Photoshop 7. It is important to document however that different versions of Photoshop give different end results. Adobe have been fine tuning the program over the years and enhancing specific filters and algorithms for better performance (some filters were rewritten during the CS2 time period). This means ultimately that comparing times with users running other versions of Photoshop is not going to give consistent results.

Lower times are better

At 1333mhz, we recorded a time of 510.4 seconds which dropped by 8 seconds when we pushed the memory to 2000mhz. This was further reduced by 2.5 seconds when we increased to our final speed of 2350mhz. These are impressive results and show the potential of the memory bandwidth in a more serious environment.

  1. incredible performance, price isnt that high either considering

  2. 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.

  3. These arent much more than a standard 6GB DDR3 kit, very impressive.

  4. Excellent, but they seem really hard to buy in the UK, distribution problems?

  5. 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.

  6. Why not use standard tubing sizes? I understand they dont need thicker tubes for waterflow, but its such an issue for people mixing tubing….

  7. Excellent, really dig this product, looks great too with the black surroundings.

  8. Kingston? I would never touch em for memory, but this looks good for the money

  9. Anyone seen these for sale in netherlands?

  10. Price is really good when you look at what you get. but the tubing selection puts me right off, without adapters.

  11. Great performance with the asus mobo there. thats a serious score
