[Guide] HyperX DDR3 memory rulers - what is what in the lineup?
Hello Giktayms! What is the advantage of the owners of computer systems of previous generations? They do not need to overpay for an upgrade, the technologies are stable, the processes are known, and less money will be required to improve the performance of an already productive solution. There are many desktop platforms on the market that work with DDR3 memory. Do not get lost in them will help instructions under the cut.
The top-end line, as in the case of DDR4 - Predator . This series appeared along with Intel P55 chipsets, that is, with the first generation of Intel Core processors and then developed over time. At the moment, the latest recommended platform is the Intel Z87, and accordingly the 4th generation Intel Core. To achieve higher frequencies, more voltage was required, the load on the memory controller increased constantly, and starting with Haswell Refresh output, the use of HyperX Predator becomes undesirable. However, this never stopped enthusiasts, and the overclocking result was HyperX Predator that is the world record for the DDR3 memory type.
The maximum frequency in serial production for HyperX Predator DDR3 is 2800 MHz for a set of two modules with a total capacity of 8 gigabytes. The maximum capacity of the kit is 16 gigabytes (two modules of 8 gigabytes each with a frequency of 2133 MHz). The lineup includes dual-channel kits, and two sets of four brackets with a frequency of 1866 MHz are optimized for dual-channel platforms. If, for some reason, you want to use HyperX Predator DDR3 with an AMD platform, then it is best to use such a memory with integrated graphics, it responds very well to improving the performance of RAM
What are the advantages of HyperX Predator modules - reduced timings at high frequencies, optimized XMP profile settings and compatibility with Intel and AMD platforms. High heatsinks protect the memory from overheating, since the operating voltage for HyperX Predator DDR3 reaches 1.65 V.
HyperX Predator DDR3 is a memory that involves the use on Intel Core platforms up to the fourth generation and on platforms with AMD hybrid processors and A-series chipsets.
HyperX Savage DDR3 is the second oldest line of game memory - here you can easily find single trims and dual-channel and four-channel kits for mainstream platforms with a capacity of up to 32 gigabytes (4 trims of 8 gigabytes). The maximum module frequency is 2400 MHz (even for maximum capacity kits), as in the case of HyperX Predator DDR3 modules are limited to 8 gigabytes. Unlike the top line in higher timings and lower frequencies, the price of HyperX Savage DDR3 is more affordable.
HyperX Savage is suitable for purchase in productive systems based on Intel SoCket 2011 processors (four-channel kits), for example, Intel Core i7-3930K and in most systems based on Intel Socket 1155/1150 for use with Intel Core processors.
HyperX Fury DDR3 is the most affordable and massive HyperX memory. This is not the speed line itself, but it has interesting features. In the case of HyperX Fury, the operating voltage is usually 1.35V, which means that it will not harm even the most delicate memory controllers (for example, in the sixth generation Intel Core processors) and will not cause additional heating of the system. The predecessors of the line can be called the memory of Kingston LoVo, which was produced at the dawn of DDR3 and had very beautiful green radiators.
Now the Fury DDR3L line is painted black. This series of slats was announced simultaneously with the release of the Intel 100 series chipsets and was specially optimized for working with the sixth generation Intel Core with higher frequencies, but at a voltage of 1.35 volts.
Classic HyperX Fury DDR3 memory offers a choice of four heatsink colors to choose from for your system. Technically, the planks do not differ among themselves and the choice will be determined only by the color scheme of the remaining computer components. For example, the red Republic HyperX Fury DDR3 will look good with the ASUS Republic Of Gamers series of motherboards, and the blue modules with the ASUS Workstation.
The striking advantages of HyperX Fury DDR3 are the timings lowered relative to “normal” memory, the stitched XMP profiles, compatibility with all current platforms, the ability to choose the color performance to your liking.
HyperX Fury DDR3L is the best choice for Intel Socket 1151 on Intel 100 series chipsets with the “ordinary” sixth generation Intel Core and DDR3 memory support.
HyperX Fury DDR3 - Suitable for any system that uses DDR3 memory - from first-generation Intel Core to AMD FX platforms.
It is important to remember that a user who needs advice can always turn to the Kingston support line and ask his questions.
