Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB 2133 Mhz Review + BenchMarks




                                          Motherboard, Graphics Card and Processor are the most in focused components of a gaming PC in the mind of some people and they ignore the importance of RAM or give it less importance as required. A high performance PC needs a high performance RAM as well for better performance. RAMs are very cheap these days and people can afford at least 8GB of RAM easily. The high frequency RAMs are available in wide variety in the market. After the launch of x79 and z77 based Intel CPUs, the memory manufacturer have a good range of support for their memories and that is why most brands are launching high frequency memories every week. Today we are going to take a look at Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB DDR3-2133Mhz memory.

                                      The Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB DDR3 kit is really great gamers as it is a quad channel kit so x79 user will get the most benefits as well. Kingston has launch many high performance memories in the market last year and they are really reliable. The blue heat spreaders with small random holes on it looks very attractive to me and heat spreaders are really great to keep the memory cool. The high frequency of 2133 Mhz is really great for enthusiasts.
