Kingston HyperX Predator 2666mhz Memory review (Z77)

Rating: 9.0.

In August Kingston announced their HyperX Predator memory, targeting the gaming audience. Today we take a look at an 8GB dual channel kit rated at 2,666mhz with 11-14-14-30 timings. Is this a good first choice for an ultra high performance enthusiast system?

HyperX Predator is available in speeds up to 2666MHz; CAS latencies of 9 and 11; and, capacities from 8GB to 32GB in various dual- and quad-channel kit configurations. In the past high speed memory was inherently expensive, but Kingston say that this 8GB Predator 2,666mhz kit will cost only £114.84 inc vat.

We recently interviewed Kingston Regional Director Ann Keefe and when asked about the HyperX Predator she said “The PC gaming market is robust and growing and we are pleased to contribute to that market with our new, more aggressive HyperX Predator memory kits, Enthusiasts will experience higher performance, ultra-responsive multitasking possibilities and an overall faster system thanks to its top optimized performance settings for specific modules, handpicked and tested by our Kingston engineers.”
