With the adjustment to the P67 platform Kingston have followed suit and brought a LGA1155 specific kit to the table. Does it stack up against it's predecessor?

(in a Borat voice) "i like"
the set my mate got are doing 2200mhz @ 9-10-9-26-1t 100% stable and are hit and miss @2000 cas8 but the gains all come from the mhz with them latency didnt gain much in benchmarks.
the one thing (other than the balls out performance) that struck me about them was the look, the etched hyper x on the gun metal grey is such a nich look that they just ooze so much understated class its untrue. i can only imagine how hard it was to get some nice pics of them, they go from a matt grey to shining like a diamond within a couple of degree.
i havent seen ram look as good as this since corsair first released the dominator range.

2200MHZ? its not on SB then?
We dont bother touching the BCLK as most advise not too tbh. so little in it just not worth bothering with. Most chips get iffy at or around 104/105.
Just not worth the hassle imho.
But isn't that the beauty of overclocking that you keep talking about with regards to the 1366 platform?
How can the tweaking be worth it on one platform but not the other?

Woah. 2133 MHz and £80 ? WIN.
1156 = 200+ bclk from a 133 stock.
1155 = 110 if you are luck from a 100 stock. BCLK is pretty pointless on 1155 and was designed to be that way too.
with this ram as an eg, the best i got out of a set was 2200 on 1155 but if it was on 1156 or 1366 im pretty sure i could of got more out of them.
the only thing i could do after 2200 on 1155 was jump to 2400 which is a big step but on the other 2 platforms i could go up in much smaller steps making sure i could get the max out of them.
i know which platform i would of rather used to see how high the ram would go.

daft question as they are so small tbh. but yeah they will.
Glad I bought some then (awaiting delivery)
Where did you purchase them from? Do Kingston also provide 8GB Kits? And also is it possible to put heat sinks (those fin like things) on top?
Thanks, will defo be purchasing these bad boys
