If you have a dual channel motherboard that can handle the fastest RAM on the market, why not find out if it can support Kingston’s Hyper T1 DDR3-2800 4GB kit? Legit Reviews tried it on the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H at both 2800MHz @ 12-14-14-32 as well as 2666MHz @ 11-14-14-30. Don’t expect much overclocking potential at this speed unfortunately, nor are all motherboards going to support the full speed XMP of these DIMMs but Kingston can be proud of the speed at which they’ve pushed these DIMMs to.
"The Kingston Hyper T1 4GB 2800MHz memory kit that we looked at here today did a superb job on our motherboard that features the Intel Z77 Express chipset and the Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge processor. We ran this kit from 800MHZ with CL6 timings all they way up to 2800MHz with CL12 timings. It is pretty wild to see a 2000MHz spread with a memory kit, but this kit was up for the task…"

Those heatsinks are huuuge!
Those heatsinks are huuuge! That being said my 1600 will probably last me until DDR4, nice to see they are pushing the boundaries though!
Because DDR4 is twice as fast
Because DDR4 is twice as fast and uses a lower voltage.
