Kingston's DDR3 Savage Ram was released for targeting a certain demographic of computer users, particularly those on a budget without sacrificing looks or even a heatsink. We received a 16GB Kit of Kingston DDR3 Savage Ram which has a shiny red heatsink with the classy HyperX logo on it. The heatsink has been engineered in such a manner that it provides efficient cooling to the Memory chips while maintaining a small form factor and as such can be used with a number of high end CPU Coolers. The Savage Ram that we received was rated for an XMP Profile of 2400Mhz but has a number of other frequencies and timings at which it can be run at depending upon the system. Kingston has done a good job with this kit of ram and running it at 2400Mhz is fairly easy as it can be enabled through the bios for Intel motherboards. The voltage used for 2400Mhz was 1.65V which is completely safe and made even safer by the addition of the heatsink. The ram never really heated up much even when kept under extreme load. For those users with AMD systems, do not worry if the ram boots up at 1600Mhz as it is adjustable through the bios and can be overclocked very easily. The rest of the specifications for the Kingston DDR3 Savage Ram can be viewed below.
