so today I'll be doing an unboxing of the Kingston hyperx blue memory now I'm
going to zoom in and see if you notice anything strange about the name of this
memory well it's the fact that all of their memory is blue so this is just
more blue memory you would think but no
I actually have the press release up on my screen and depending just how HD my
HD is you might be able to read it but Kingston hyperx blue memory modules have
a new look so I'll show you the new look once we get the Box open they run at
standard J de speeds and timings but the big benefit is that they have lots of
overclocking Headroom for enthusiast so it's kind of like what AMD is doing with
their black edition chips where they're purposely running it at a conservative
setting in order to give you more room to overclock them to really find the
limits of them so let's get the blue 4
gig kit open here this is a dual Channel kit and it's available in 6400 ddr2 1333
DDR3 as well as600 DDR3 so I'm going to
go ahead and take this out so it looks a little bit different from their standard heat spreader first of all you've got
more of the Chrome accents so right here
it says DDR3 now we're it used to not say anything and you still have your
shiny pink sticker which I am a big fan of I'll turn it around so this is a 240
pin standard dual-sided memory module and you can see on this side you know
it's funny because I was looking at it in the box and I was like oh well how is
it hyperx blue it doesn't say blue and anywhere on it it doesn't say blue on
the package it doesn't say blue on the RAM but now I found it it says hyperx
blue on the back so that's just uh silk screened on there and then you've got
another DDR3 here so the actual heat spreader is just plain blue in the
background you got your Chrome on the outside DDR3 just like that and then
they actually are just putting stickers and silk screen on to get the two
different sides so that's a pretty good cost-saving measure if you ask me so
like I said two modules these are all about the overclocking headro so what
I'm going to be doing in the next little bit is I did a big core I or rather core
i7 875k so Intel's new unlock chip I did
a big overclocking guide on that and the whole point of that guide was now we can
overclock the CPUs as far as we want without actually stressing the RAM so
I'm going to grab that same test platform and I'm going to take a bit of a different approach and I'm going to
see how far we can stress the RAM without stressing the CPU since I have
both up and down multiplier adjustments as well as being able to play around
with the turbo mode so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Kingston
4 gig DDR3 hyperx blue RAM
