Kingston HyperX Predator 2800MHz 8GB Memory Kit Review

Rating: 8.0.

It's Kingston's turn to take shot at the ultra-high frequency memory market. Can the 2800MHz HyperX Predator kit grab the attention of enthusiast benchmarkers and extreme overclockers?

With the vast improvements in memory frequency support brought about by Haswell's powerful IMC, manufacturers took the opportunity to release ultra-high frequency memory kits which target overclockers and benchmarkers. With the market's lust for high-speed memory re-kindled, Kingston has released the 2800MHz 12-14-14 HyperX Predator 8GB kit as its flagship memory product.

We've seen 2800MHz and 3100MHz kits from ADATA, a 3GHz set from Avexir, and G.Skill's 2933MHz TridentX modules, but how does Kingston compare with its 2800MHz CL12 HyperX Predator memory?

Crimson Desert climbs up to ‘very positive’ score on Steam across over 100k reviews

Crimson Desert was a hotly-anticipated brand new IP prior to its official launch earlier this month, with the ambitious open-world title garnering a ton of attention thanks to its pretty visuals, freeform gameplay and player agency. Upon its launch however, the game suffered from a number of issues, including rather awkward controls. Fortunately, the team at Pearl Abyss have been quick to respond to criticisms – with Crimson Desert having now climbed its way to a ‘Very Positive’ score on Steam.

  1. 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.
