Kingston SoDIMM DDR3 & KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX Review

 

HyperX series for mobile classroom that continues to be driven to perform better. Stretching device notebooks and mini-ITX PCs make progress SoDIMM memory becomes brighter as the technology. If the first is more popular DDR2, DDR3 turn now, especially since the era of Intel's Nehalem, which is increasingly popular.

Well the type of DDR3 is partly to boost the ability of producers as high as possible. Even some of whom attended a performance issue as KHX1600C9S3K2 set consisting of 2 pieces (Dual-Channel).

With a bandwidth of 1600 MHz (9-9-9-27 timings), we tested DDR3 SoDIMM is fairly tight, and even has won Intel XMP validation. Kingston's memory modules are aimed at presenting the best of the few players who deliver top-class SoDIMM.

To prevent the heat rising, place the heatsink Kingston HyperX characteristic that makes the memory size to thicken slightly.

***

Indeed KHX1600C9S3K2 indeed an ideal ran in value according to its specifications, but this depends on the motherboard used. On the mainboard J & W Minix 890GX-USB3 that we use, the RAM was seen walking normally at 1333 MHz bandwidth. But if forced to walk at a speed of 1600 MHz, the system would often hang or restart. Use of this seems more an ideal SODIMM at standard conditions (acceptable) in the mini-ITX motherboard or notebook. However, performance with Kingston HyperX SODIMM class includes rare among its competitors.
