Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz 16GB Kit Review

Introduction

Kingston are one of the biggest names in the memory industry, with a kit available regardless of the size, speed and even aesthetic requirements you have. 

Their HyperX brand has always been the provider of some very fast options, as well as coming equipped with some of the best looking heatspreaders around.

The Savage kit we have up for review today ticks both of those boxes, with 16GB of 2400MHz goodness wrapped up in one of the coolest designs we've seen for a while.

Let's take a closer look.

In our Z97 test rig the Savage easily hits its XMP. Despite the timings being a little slacker than we'd like at this price it's difficult to complain.
