Kingston bills its HyperX Blu memory as being "ideal for the entry-level gamer or PC enthusiast."

This 8GB kit of two 4GB DDR3 DIMMs, intended for use with dual-channel motherboards from either AMD or Intel, features a streamlined clipless design, simple heat spreaders for basic thermal dissipation, and latency timings of 9-9-9-27.

This kit is certified for use with Intel's Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) technology, which makes overclocking the memory as easy as selecting the proper predefined scheme in the BIOS, and operates at 1.65 volts.
