14 DAY TRIAL // Today PNY announced new memory kits on its official website. The modules are rated at 1866 MHz and 2133 MHz speeds respectively and come in dual-channel or quad-channel configurations.
These new kits are part of PNY’s XLR8 product line of fast memory modules. They come in 8 GB kits that comprise two 4 GB DDR3 modules that work in dual-channel configurations or 16 GB kits comprising four 4 GB DDR3 modules, guaranteed to work in quad-channel configuration.
The company touts low latency with 9-12-11-27 timings for the 2133 MHz DDR3 CAS 10 8 GB dual-channel kit and the 16 GB quad-channel one.
For the 1866 MHz 8 GB (4 x 4GB) and 16 GB (4x 4GB) DDR3 CAS 9 kits, PNY states 9-12-9-27 timings.
The manufacturer puts the buyer’s mind at ease, offering Lifetime Warranty for these products.
The memory modules are cooled by sleek-looking, tall heat spreaders that will likely do a good job cooling these chips during overclocking sessions.
The passive cooling system makes the modules taller than the normal standard and, before purchase, buyers should check to see if this cooler doesn’t prevent them from properly installing these kits.
PNY has also launched a 16 GB (4xs 4GB) DDR3 CAS 9 memory kit working at 1600 MHz with fast 9-9-9-24 timings.
The pricing is as follows for the 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 kits: 179.99 US dollars or 135 euros for the 2133 MHz kit , 124.99 US dollars or 94 euros for the 1866 MHz kit and 89.99 US dollars or 68 euros for the 1600 MHz kit .
For the 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 variants, the pricing is: 89.99 US dollars or 68 euros for the 2133 MHz kit and 59.99 US dollars or 45 euros for the 1866 MHz kit.
