MaxxMem2 PreView is a handy, free program to rate memory performance. It can be downloaded over here.
MaxxMEM continues to show the two 2800MHz memory kits at near-identical performance levels.
As we have experienced in the past, default bandwidth levels of the high-speed, Hynix-based, single-sided memory modules suffer in comparison to lower-speed kits; Corsair's 2400MHz 16GB kit shows 12% better copy speeds.
Latency shows tangible improvements, however. The same Corsair kit trails Kingston's 2800MHz option by around 6% in regard to latency performance.
Great review Luke, but I do have a little disagreement over the oversized heatspreaders. there is never any need for these – a good airflow case is more than enough. Green PCB is a bad move too as you say,
They cause so many issues with CPU coolers.
