Green Green Green. Everything goes Green with lower power consumption. We see that from desktop pcs to notebooks to power supplies. Kingston, being an innovative memory maker also has the new LoVo – Low voltage memory modules for the Green cause.
With a lower voltage, Kingston HyperX LoVo modules generates less heat and reduced power consumption of the overall system.
They come in various configurations and XMP settings. The lowest voltage is 1.25v on the KHX1333C9D3UK2/4GX while the KHX1600C9D3LK2/4GX and KHX18000C9D3LK2/4GX runs at 1.25V/1.35V depending on the XMP profile used.
In the following pages, we will take a look at the Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3LK2/4GX LoVo which is run at CAS 9-9-9-27-1T at 1.35v in comparison with our older high end HyperX (tri pair, we used a pair of KHX16000D3UKT1K3/6GX at 1.65v)
Below is a chart showing the specifications of the ram modules.
