February 12, 2015Memory Reviews16dhaas

<![CDATA[ HyperX Beast
Kingston is an American owned, multinational computer technology corporation that manufactures flash memory products and other computer-related memory parts. Kingston was founded in 1987. Kingston is known mainly for their flash drives, SSDs, and other flash memory, but it also has a series of high-class RAM that goes by the name, “HyperX”. HyperX is no ordinary technology and is best suited for serious gamers with a high-end budget. If you’d like to know more about Kingston, go here.
The RAM that I will be reviewing today is called the HyperX Beast (HX324C11T3K4/32). It is quad-channeled which means that the complete package comes with 4 sticks, so make sure if you purchase this product that you have a motherboard that can support them all. More in-depth specs can be found here.
Specs:

Non-ECC (Non-Error Correction Code)
Quad-Channeled (4 Channels of RAM)
CAS Latency: 11
DDR3-2400 (PC3 -19200)
Gold Lead Plating
32 GB (4x8GB)

This product is extremely quick and should be in mind if you are looking to build or upgrade your computer. If you are looking to spend $291.99 on brand new RAM, this is the perfect RAM for you. The speeds are immense and the quad-channel only makes your memory perform faster than dual or single channeled. Overall this RAM is a great product and is indeed pricey, however it is definitely worth the money put into it.

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A3000C12R Memory Review

February 14, 2014Memory Reviews, NT IT ReviewsHaylee_M

<![CDATA[
This is a review for CORSAIR Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A3000C12R DRAM. This is a very high-end memory for an intense gamer or professional use only. It would be best utilized on a gamer/professional PC. This memory is for those who want very fast memory and are fans of overclocking.
Corsair Memory is an American computer peripherals and hardware company headquartered in Fremont, California. The company was incorporated in California in January 1994 and was reincorporated in Delaware in 2007. In January 2010 the company was incorporated again in Delaware as Corsair Components, Inc. Corsair designs and sells a range of products for computers, including high-speed DRAM modules, ATX power supplies, USB flash drives, memory and case cooling solutions, computer cases, solid-state drives, and speakers. (Corsair Memory Wikipedia)
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A3000C12R DRAM is DDR3, 240 pin, DIMM memory. Its speed rating is PC3-24000 (3000MHz) and its SPD Latency is 9-9-9-24. When you buy this memory, Corsair includes a fan, a Vengeance Pro heat spreader, and a lifetime warranty. They sell the Vengeance Pro in two sticks of 4GB memory, adding up to 8GB. You can find this memory on Newegg.com for $539.99.
If you’re a gamer who’s looking for some top-notch, high-quality memory, then this is the stuff for you. I’d recommend this DRAM to anyone who wants fast or just plain cool memory for their PC, although it would be best used on a high end system as opposed to a home or business PC.

Patriot Signature Memory Review

February 12, 2014Memory Reviews, NT IT ReviewsChancelor_W

<![CDATA[Have you checked your memory lately? Are you running low (check easily at this site)? Odds are, you could use a upgrade! That’s where the Patriot signature 8 Gig sticks come in. Currently games are starting use a lot of memory and you don’t want to fall behind on the newest games! Patriot is a company located in Fremont California that has been around since 1985. Patriot Memory makes a range of memory module and flash memory products, offering a perfect blend of quality and value. Patriot products include Extreme Performance, Signature Lines, and Flash Memory solutions. (Patriot Memory)

The specs of this model are:

DDR3 1333 SDRAM
8Gb Capacity
CAS Latency: 9
1.5 v
Non-ECC
7.8US Refresh Interval (8192 CYCLES/64MS)

CAS latency is especially great for this memory. The lower the CAS latency the better! Think of the latency as a delay. For this model “9” is a really great number for the latency. It is low enough so that you will have no trouble running all those fun games.

If you are thinking about getting that finishing touch for your gaming PC go ahead and pick some of this memory up! You will not regret your decision. Even if you aren’t the gaming type you can still use this memory to get your computer as fast as it can be. It can be found over on Newegg as you can see it has a respectable 4/5 eggs. Also if you are building an entire machine go ahead and check out our other review for the ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard. These two products will pair up nicely!
