Kingston HyperX T1 12GB DDR3 1600mhz Review (X58)

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.

All results were gained from Adobe Photoshop CS5 64bit exe on Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and are marked in seconds. Lower times are better.

Not a huge performance increase in the filtering test, but we didn't expect the modest frequency increase to have a dramatic impact on the results.

  1. Great kit! I love the idea of 24GB for under 300. count me in.

  2. Gamers dont need 12GB. I only edit images for the web, hard to know if I would need this or not, probably not. Wonder what Windows 8 will be like for memory demands. Vista was a hog.

  3. I dislike oversized heatspreaders. no need for them now, they stop fitting of the best heatsinks.

  4. Actually its very rare that heatsinks cant be fitted with these kind of heatspreaders. companies like noctua need to look into this with the newest designs and have a cutout section where the ram would be so they DO fit,.

  5. Kingston memory? never bought it, thought it was more for pcworld and kids.

  6. Wish I could afford an X58 system. the memory is a good price, but the rest of it isnt lol.

  7. Christ, how much was this system? two 6990s? 990x? liquid cooled. lol. I feel like such a pauper at times. my core 2 duo just blushes everytime I open a review here :p

  8. Hate these enormous heat spreaders ,
    Rather use something like Crucial Ballistic
    series . small and sensible
