CONCLUSION

   When you've tested as many memory kits as i or many others have you know that just a few MHz more will not give you much of a performance boost (if at all) especially in games and that applies to every memory kit out there. However things change when we are talking about overall system performance and that's where the latest Kingston HyperX 10th Anniversary 2400MHz 16GB Quad Channel Kit nailed it since it proved to be almost 10% faster (overall) compared to the HyperX 2133MHz Genesis kit. Of course architecture, CAS latency, timings and memory size also matters and so as shown in some of our charts Triple Channel kits have little to be jealous of Quad Channel Kits in synthetic benchmarks but when it comes to games things change once again (mainly however due to the different processing power between LGA1366 and LGA2011). Unfortunately overclocking the kit was not really not possible since at 2400MHz it was pretty much already maxed out (we did manage to hit 2460MHz but that wasn't enough to use) and that’s perhaps the only slight drawback we could find.

   With a current price tag of just USD159.99 inside the USA (Amazon/Newegg) and at around 150Euros inside the EU the HyperX 10th Anniversary Limited Edition 2400MHz 16GB CL11 Quad Channel Kit (KHX24C11X3K4/16X) is a real bargain since it offers great performance with no clearance issues thanks to the low-profile heat spreaders and hassle-free installation thanks to the two available XMP profiles. Now i would like to see something a bit unique for packaging and perhaps more overclocking headroom but both would probably be reason enough for Kingston to increase the price tag so those i can live without. So thumbs up to Kingston both for manufacturing a very good quad channel kit and for receiving our Platinum Award.
