Kingston HyperX DDR2 1066Mhz - Review

Do you optimize your PC timings? Do you tweak your RAM for maximum performance? Please RATE or Comment.

When i watch this video i'm glad to have bought this ram! nice review! PCWizKid u rock!

Great review. By viewing this, I was able to get my Kingston 4GB HyperX DDR2 1066 memory kit to run at 5-5-5-15 unganged. Thanks!

@SipiN90 it's recommended that you add the same type of ram. Never add different unmatched pairs, hence the problem you have.

@soma1509
Correct on the loosening which gives more room for pushing freq up but wrong on RAM dependant.
The performance boost is application / benchmark dependant.
The RAM's main parameters, to simplify, are two: clock speed (MHz) and latency (timings). If benchmark asks for mass allocation then more MHz will win, if benchmark asks for quickness in response then low latency will win.

Answer: get the best MHz and tightest timings without going unstable ;)

Very informative video. I didn't even know about ungang and gang memory.

@MrKostale Don't worry, thing is, I don't actually know how to explain why, but this happens to every RAM.
Eg.: If you put connect a 1066 mhz RAM in your pc, CPUz will tell you that you have around 533MHz of DRAM Frequency. Look in the vid at 2:04 . See? It says: DRAM frequency - 401.0 MHz, considering his memory is running at 800MHz, get it? Hope I helped.

Do you think i could go to 4-4-4-15? i have the 2x1gb ver. and i have my bus speed at 400. and my cpu is a e6750 2.66ghz OCed to 3.2ghz.

hi bud im running corsair dominator ddr2 1066 @ (1120 mhz oc, 2.9 volts)(5 5 5 15) ive checked cpuid it says Symmetric! do i need to change anything for better overclocking? p.s im on a asus p5q-e mobo with a xeon x5470 @4.2ghz if that helps.

[warrax]

Hello, will it work same also for 8 GB? two (2x2 GB) kits.

[bilalk]

Love your wire management dude and the PC ofcourse! PLS PLS make a video and teach us how to Manage the wiring inside the Chassis!! PLS!!

[ZanSunstrider]

with Asus mobo i cant go wrong with them. Im running 1066 on my P5QL-E at stock 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v with no probs at all. Awesome. definitely gonna get the HyperX Fan though. :D

My calculations:
-lower tCl if possible by 1
-lower tRP if possible by 1
-lower tRCD if possible by 1
-calculate tRAS = original tCL +original tRP + original tRCD.
-calculate tRC = tRAS + tRP + 1, relax it by one.
•these settings result in the fastest memory read/write speed, and expectable memory copy speed. lowering tRAS will increase memory copy speed a bit but its not important, yo have to have stability too :D

now i have several questions to start off with 1 meant in jest how the heck did you shoehorn that v8 small block into the case :) but seriously what is your machines specs (the 1 you did the benchmark on) i can see some of the answer in the video i.e. i believe the cpu is 3.1 ghz
anyway just curious and like bilalk85 says nice wire management, got me curious too :) wondering wheres the rest of it :) lol

@soma1509
DDR2 = Dual Data Rate 2 (Double Channel)
So DDR runs at double the bus frequency. The "2" means you have two channels to access data (so this is correct as you say).

DDR2 400MHz = DDR2-800 rating (which runs at 800MHz)

DDR3 600MHz = DDR3-1200 rating (which runs at 1200MHz)... NOT x3 because the DDR is Double Data Rate (not triple) !!!

The only exception is DDR5 graphic memory which runs at [bus x4] but that due to another reason which is too long to explain here.

@noobcontroll The battery is for the real time clock, and CMOS settings, not BIOS... BIOS and CMOS are two different things on the motherboard. BIOS usually requires a "Jumper" piece moved to reset it, CMOS is removing the batter for 5-10minutes typically.

Why is the stick of RAM you show in your hand, the 2 gig module? I have 8 gigs of that Hyper-X RAM and is labeled 2K2/4GR, which is 2 gigs per stick.

[Chargeglass]

@Bunongboyz Try a different video card, if you are using a attached gpu, try using the on-board gpu, if you do get a picture, and hit a blue screen, a mem stick could be faulty.

[chinzeem]

why did you switch to single channel, is due to the mB

i have a question i want to upgrade my laptop to a higher memory ram

my laptop has a Intel Celeron M, 512 Ram, Windows Vista, 80 hard drive

i wanna know if i can upgrade it to 1 GB ram or higher

[ronhilllight]

just one question...
when i changing freq in BIOS from 800 to 1066 then my RAM works at 533 MhZ (CPUZ says so)
did voltage changes to 2.2 automaticly or i must change it manualy ??
