Kingston Genesis 4GB DDR3 2133MHz Review

Up Close

Firstly the combination between very shiny X logo, metallic heatsink and smooth nature made for one of the hardest photoshoots we’ve done. To light it without making one or other element overly bright was a hell of a challenge.

As you can see though the Genesis is a very attractive combination between the Hyper-X logo and gun metal. Naturally with so many issues the beauty of this really doesn’t come across in photos.

Memory is quickly dividing into two categories, the insane heatsink that could cool a battleship and, as here, one that actually fits under the modern tower heatsinks. Given our preference for a cool CPU and the popularity of “twin tower” style coolers it’s nice to see a company unafraid to be subtle. 

Especially as even highly overclocked RAM never gets hot enough to warrant the plethora of points and fins that adorn some kits.
