Kingston HyperX Predator 2666mhz Memory review (Z77)

For our testing today we are using the ASUS Maximus V Formula motherboard which is currently mid review for another article on Kitguru soon.

As we would expect, the Maximus V Formula has a ‘play safe' default setting of 1,333mhz. We need to adjust this to get the most from the Kingston HyperX Predator 2,666mhz memory.

Our sample had an old bios and we updated to the latest 0804 x64 version.

We loaded the XMP memory profile, which is set to 2667mhz with 11-14-14-30-2N timings at 1.65V. No shortage of settings on the Maximus V Formula motherboard – right up to 3,200mhz via the manual settings.

A quick reboot and the memory was correctly configured at 2,666mhz – shown above.

System validation at 2,666mhz is available at this link.
