The Kingston HyperX Predator 2,666mhz memory ships in a tough plastic container with the name and some product information listed across the front.
Kingston include a little pamphlet with the memory which explains the installation procedure.
The Kingston Predator memory ships with a dramatic, oversized blue and black heatspreader. It is attractive and well designed. The PCB underneath is green. Sadly these heatspreaders may cause installation problems with some of the larger CPU heatsinks available today.

No such problems for us in this review however. Corsair kindly donated another of their fantastic H100 liquid coolers to our labs recently, combining the cooling proficiency of the Noctua NH D14 without any of the installation concerns around the CPU socket.
almost wet myself at those results. Any ideas when its out? I bought a Corsair H100 last month, what a cooler ! love it to death.
Very impressive kit. That said, 2,666mhz memory is still a little overpriced IMO. 2,400mhz is a lot cheaper and I wouldn’t think many people could notice the difference in the real world.
im waiting on 3,200mhz kits 🙂
you can get 16GB of slightly slower memory for 2,666mhz prices. Not for me, but interesting to read. I can see it being worthwhile in the pro industry for rendering.
@ Darth Digglers. No one needs 16GB of memory for gaming or even ordinary duties. id rather put the money into speed, not quanitity.
Good memory, shame they went for such huge heatspreaders, id have bought 16GB of it for my Z77 board, but id need to check my phanteks cooler I reckon before it would work right in the slots due to spacing.
