If you’re looking for a high speed set of DDR4 RAM there are no shortage of choices these days, even if supplies are still fairly tight. The HyperX Predator line from Kingston is fresh on the scene and is hoping to be the choice for many enthusiasts with its competitive pricing. This kit is the 16GB Kingston HyperX Predator DDR4 3000 C15 quad channel kit ( HX430C15PB2K4/16 ). It has two XMP profiles, of which are 3000 15-16-16-39 2T and 2666 14-14-14-36 2T. Having the multiple XMP profiles provides a bit of comfort knowing that there are two good configurations provided with the kit that are set and forget. These modules were a sample and did not come with the regular retail packaging, so what photos we have are limited to the actual modules. Thankfully, you don’t buy memory for the packaging. You buy it for the performance, and boy did this set post some very impressive results.
