Closer Look
The Savage memory comes in a blister pack which is very easy to open and is held together by the red Kingston tape across the centre; blister packs can be a nightmare, but Kingston have done a good job with these. The packaging is made from clear plastic and as you can see, the HyperX Savage is available to see in all of its red coloured glory.
After removing the HyperX Savage from the blister pack, the first thing I noticed was the very fiery aggressive red used on the heat sinks; I love it! Also it’s good to see Kingston have continued to use a black PCB as, let’s face it, a green PCB isn’t as acceptable these days as it used to be.
2 x 8GB modules; how gorgeous do they look? They also utilise a low profile performance heat spreader which should have no problems fitting under some of the larger coolers; unlike the HyperX Predator kit which is huge by comparison.
Specs wise, this particular kit is the 2400MHz version which features CL11 timings at 1.65v which isn’t phenomenal, but it’s certainly acceptable; CL10 would have been much more attractive.
The reverse side of the memory has a white label sticker containing manufacturer location (Taiwan), Kingston branding, safety information and, of course, the part number.
