Kingston HyperX PC3-16000 3GB Memory Kit

Still looking at dual channel DDR3 kits? Pfft, that's so last year. It's 2009 and the age of triple channel memory kits is upon us. Intel's new socket 1366 and X58 chipset has spawned a new memory standard that's makes use of advanced microarchitecture and provides dramatic increases in memory bandwidth. Right from the jump, 1333MHz kits were available with 1600MHZ and 1866MHz kit slowly trickling out. As with any new memory standard, timings were a little high but steadily improving.   

Today, we'll be taking a look at the first 2000MHz tri-channel memory on the market. Kingston's HyperX PC3-16000 3GB gives you 9-9-9-27 timings at only 1.65V. And don't worry about getting it to run at rated specs; these settings can be quickly acheived using Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP). You're just one BIOS setting away from 2000MHz heaven. Hold on to your seats as HardwardwareLogic throws these sticks on a spanking new, Core i7 test bench to see how fast they can really go.
