HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 16GB 3200MHz CL16 DIMM XMP RAM Memory/Infrared Sync Technology- Black (HX432C16PB3A/16)

I have used Kingston and HyperX RAM modules in the past, and Kingston is a reputable high quality supplier of RAM modules. I purchased this RGB 16 GB kit to use on an ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme (X370) Motherboard for a new build I am creating for my daughter using a 2700X AMD Ryzen CPU.In terms of pure technical performance, these 3200 CL 16 modules do very well with Ryzen, and they overclocked to their SPD settings with the DOCP control in the BIOS flawlessly. I ran a test of AIDA64, and the bandwidth was excellent, rivaling my overclocked X99 Motherboard. So, these RAM modules do perform very well, and I am not missing anything by not having a CL 14 RAM kit.The RGB implementation did not work at first with the ASUS AURA software, but the Tech Services folks at Kingston were kind enough to help out and now the RAM does sync up with the ASUS AURA software and the rest of my ASUS system. So, I am keeping this RAM kit, and pretty happy I purchased these, and thankful to Kingston for their excellent customer service. Well Done!

So far this memory has shown OC potential far beyond expectations, especially for the ludicrously low price I paid for two 16GB DIMMs.Stock XMP profile is 3200, 16-18-18. As a joke I upped the clockspeed to 3700 and the timings to 18-19-19 and rebooted into MemTest86 expecting the first test to error out immediately. Of course it didn't, and the memory cleared every test without error meaning they are stable at the increased clockspeed and timings. That is due, at least in part, to the Hynix CJR c-die modules Kingston uses for these. CJR/c-dies are known to be exceptional overclockers, nearly at the level of the out-of-production Samsung b-die modules.I should point out this is on an Intel chipset (z370.) AMD platforms are more sensitive to higher memory speeds because of the very different architecure and the way in which the memory controller is integrated.

I've had one of these for a year (2x8GB of the RGB variety) running at 3200 MHz on Ryzen 2700X with MSI B450 Pro Carbon. They have an automatic default speed of 2400 MHz and two XMP profiles with 2933 MHz and 3200 MHz.Added another one for 32 GB recently (one year later), Machine would not boot at 3200 MHz with 32 GB, not even POST. Swapped the sticks around trying all combinations and it worked in a few others. New sticks in slots A1/B1 and old ones in A2/B2 offer the highest speeds.4 sticks worked fine at 2400 MHz in any slot config. In one it worked at up to 2666 MHz and in two others it POSTed at 3200  but was unstable.  In the worst of the slot configs none of the XMP profiles worked. In the best all configs worked but only 2993 MHz was stable.Attempting to set custom timings I found (via Thaiphoon burner) that the two  sets (of the same model, bought a year apart) were in fact manufactured two years apart and had different RAM chips. In other words they were mismatched.Any combination of two sticks (from old and/or new sets) would work just fine at 3200 MHz but not all four.Ryzens inter core cluster CCX speeds are dependent on RAM speeds which means at lower RAM speeds some core to core to communication  will be slower. This speed is usually the physical RAM clockspeed (half of DDR frequency). Having said that desktop Ryzen's 2000s max rated RAM speeds is 2993 MHz and anything beyond that is overclocking. For 4 stick configs officially AMD only guarantees 2133 MHz.Currently running it at 2933 MHz via an XMP  profile and performance in CPU heavy benchmarks like Cinebench R15 are at around 99.8% of the 16GB 3200 MHz speed. Having said that speeds in apps like Photoshop and Audacity is much better with both apps starting up virtually instantly and running like greased lightning and Unreal Engine 4 doesn't slow down after a while especially after multiple undos. So real world performance for me at least is much better.The moral of the story being if multiple RAM kits are being paired together (even of the same make and model) they should probably be bought at the same time from the same vendor to ensure internal components tally and they can work at their maximum rated speeds.

Bought it for $93 (8GB 2933Mhz RGB) it's a little bit expensive than the other competitors BUT you get the RGB PCMR look which is really cool! Works fine with Ryzen 7 1700x. When I installed it, the clock speed was 2400mhz, idk why but I changed it from the bios menu and it got back to 2933mhz. The RGB is nice and neat, wish if it was a little bit brighter but whatever. You can change the colors via the motherboard software, in my case I have MSI motherboard, so I downloaded the MSI gaming app and it works fine.My PC Setup:AMD Ryzen 7 1700xMSI X370 GAMING PLUSMSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (white model)CoolerMaster Liquid Lite 120MM (water cooler) + Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal PasteBitfenix Colossus Window

With my second system build, I just had to go with HyperX again. I have to say, good build quality and nice RGB lighting. I just wish Kingston still offered their HyperX RAM in different colors like they did with their DDR3 Savage RAM. None the less, these sticks look good and take overclocking with ease.

it's not 3000 MHz, only works on 2400, my BIOS have last updat, (z370-h / i7 8600K / GTX 1060 )HyperX HX430C15PB3K2/16 16 GB DDR4 CL15 DIMM MemoryBut, if you check it in the system or programs.So, it HyperX Kingston HyperX KHX3000C15D4/8GX 8 GB DDR4-2400 DDR4 SDRAM (18-17-17-39 )why so different?Not genuine?

Great ram paired with a ryzen 2600x and a b350 motherboard I manage to over clock to 3400mhz stable with little effort

Las memorias son excelentes, pero cuida que sean dos módulos de 8gb en lugar de dos de 4gb, estos últimos se llevan muy mal con las placas a la hora de usar los perfiles XMP. Haciendo pruebas llegan con el perfil de 3333mhz a 3400mhz con los mismos timings, pero el rendimiento óptimo se logra desactivando los perfiles XMP y usando estos valores, al menos en mi equipo:Perfil Disabled3200mhz14-15-15-17-341.36vHaciendo un cálculo, (16/3400)*1000=4,7ns, respecto a otro, (14/3200)*1000=4.3ns, podemos ver que esta segunda alternativa es mejor, y los benchmarks que he pasado confirman la teoría. El PC es un ryzen 2600 con Aorus x470 Ultra.En general, muy recomendables.

I am very happy with my purchase (well it being a bit overpriced compared to a couple of years ago), I noticed immediate improvements with my day to day tasks, and even managed to see some improvement in gaming (I run mostly AAA games maxed out, and aiming for constant framerate). The upgrade from 2133MHZ to 3000MHZ in my opinion is quite visible, as everything becomes slightly faster. Also the upgrade from 8GB to 16GB is again amazing (although depending on your day to day PC usage). I am a Software Developer, and quite frequently I have many programs running at the same time, so 16 GB was almost a necessity for me (having those IDEs getting up 3GB of RAM, and then Chrome/Firefox eating about the same amount, and Windows processes finishing up the rest of it). Also 16GB helped me with gaming. Higher demanding games were sometimes dropping frames, or freezing for miliseconds, and I had to sometimes turn off my browsers, and any other programs that were eating up my RAM. Now with 16 GB I have no problems having open 2 browsers, 4 game launchers (Steam, Ubisoft, Origin, GoG), all of my peripherals softwares, skype, discord, and some other programs, and also games, without any lag or slow down in performance. Again as a PC enthusiast I notice the very slight slow down, so for a casual PC user it might be impossible to notice some of the improvements from upgrading to 16GB faster RAM. The big question is, do you need the upgrade? Will it help you with your day to day PC use? Are you running out of RAM fast?

"CL16" although it is true, the rest of the timings are quite long, I would've liked 16-16-16-36 rather than 16-18-18-38Doesn't sync well with Aura Sync - just stays on "Unicorn Puke" setting if you have the rest of your lights on anything other than solid or breathe - and on breathe it is still out of sync with everything else.If you want RGB memory with an Asus system - buy something else. I cannot comment on other motherboards RGB syncing but really worth researching before you purchase.If I had the choice of this memory with my motherboard or plain non-RGB memory, I'd go for the plain and save the money... out of sync RGB looks worse than no RGB IMHO.
