Kingston show their new 24GB triple channel kit and world exclusive SO-DIMM overclocking.
You may have already seen the Kingston 24GB HyperX T1 video already. Kingston have been preparing this kit for the X58 chipset and had a live demo of this 24GB kit installed on the new GIGABYTE G1 Assassin.
The setup pictured is what some would classify as la crème da la crème. Boasting the Intel Core i7-990X, GIGABYTE HD 6950 OC, Zalman’s 850W PSU, a dual combo of 96GB V+100 SSD, 30GB V SSD this system combined with the new 24GB (6x4GB) T1’s will eat data for breakfast. A great example of extreme performance using some of Kingston’s finest products, all housed within the DangerDen Tower 26 case.
Kingston enforced that they are committed in providing some of the best SSDs to the market. Look out for new releases this June when Kingston will be bringing some new additions to their line-up.
HTPC Tech Demo – SO-DIMM HyperX 2133MHz OC
Mark Tekunoff – Kingston’s Senior Technology Manager was on hand to show us a HTPC tech demo. Mark Tekunoff has a wealth of knowledge in the electronics and PC industry, both from an engineering and sales perspective. As a Sr. Technology Manager, Mark was involved in the development of Kingston’s HyperX product line from the inception, and has a wide variety of technical responsibilities including new HyperX product development, worldwide HyperX technical marketing support and maintaining close relationships with Alliance partners. He also works with the various departments internally that develop and manufacture the HyperX product line.
At CeBIT he showed us a technology demo of a system provided by Intel and ASRock to demonstrate their new HyperX SO-DIMM kit can be overclocked to 2133MHz with CAS latency modified to CAS 8 using XMP. Clearly showing that with Kingston HyperX SO-DIMMs performance on a HTPC configuration can be modified in such a way by squeezing frequency and lowering CAS timings.
ASRock had to modify their BIOS for this particular demo, so in essence this highlights that Kingston are ready and waiting for motherboard manufacturers to catch up. The below screenshot at CAS 8 was performed in front of our eyes and benchmarked to prove this was no fluke!
