HyperX, a division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the addition of 2800 MHz memory kits to the HyperX Predator product line. The new 2800 MHz memory kits exhibit top-of-the-market speed and are specifically designed for high-end overclockers, extreme system builders and performance enthusiasts.

HyperX Predator represents the fastest Kingston memory available on the market. In addition to top speeds, HyperX Predator features an aggressive design to enhance the look and performance of the latest PC hardware while providing greater heat dissipation to optimize memory reliability. The memory is Intel XMP ready and has been fully tested and validated on a wide range of motherboards currently available on the market. End users can easily overclock their systems by simply selecting a profile in BIOS with no need for manual adjustments.





"We are proud to offer our flagship 2800MHz memory kits to overclockers, benchmarkers and extreme system builders throughout the world," said Krystian Jaroszynski, European Product Marketing Manager, HyperX and Server, Kingston. "Our HyperX engineers will continue working hard to improve high-speed yields to get faster product in the hands of our customers."

HyperX Predator is available in speeds up to 2800 MHz and kits from 8 GB to 16 GB in various dual- and quad-channel configurations. The new 2800 MHz kit is currently available in an 8 GB kit of two with a CAS latency of 12.

Kingston HyperX memory is backed by a lifetime warranty and free live technical support.

So are these MFR kits cause if they are then they are super pointless

These kits are designed for the technically challeneged who don't know that 1600 MHz DDR3 is not a system bottleneck on a typical CPU powered desktop PC.

They also look to be about 2" too tall.

I guess if you're the kind of guy that doesn't do anything except play Hello Kitty Island Adventure, then yeah these are pointless for you, as a technically challenged person.

Jorge is such a troll

Could use a kit for the FM2 build I'm planning.

 

[Sabishii Hito]

I remember in 2012 or so, Kingston sent out review samples of a 2800 kit that never made it to retail, it was only 2x2GB single-sided Hynix CFR. This new version could be either double-sided CFR or single-sided MFR as either will meet the spec, but most likely MFR.

 

[Initialised]

Both the 2800MHz and 2666MHz kit will run the 2666MHz profile with the F5e BIOS:

2800MHz

2666MHz

Not sure why it's reading as D3/J4 not T2K2

Too bad they're not priced at $65/8GB kit like The Beast 2400! (10 months ago). Instead, they go for $269.99/8GB kit! When will this madness stop? At these prices, even Jorge is starting to make a little sense!

Who is Jorge??

Jorge is TPU's resident troll, always ready to make the rest of us smile with his vast storehouse of PC knowledge and paranoid distrust of anything water cooled, overclocked, or expensive. If it's faster or better than his rig, it's ridiculous overkill and a complete waste of money (he hasn't filled in his system specs, so we can assume his machine is fairly low-end or ancient). Take a look at his posts if you want a good laugh...
