Package and its Contents
HyperX Predator RGB DDR4-4600 memory kit arrived in a refreshed, small box. We won’t find detailed specifications on the package. Still, key features, product numbers, and manufacturer info are available, while everything else we can find on the manufacturer’s website or short user’s manual inside the package.
Inside the package, we will find two 8GB memory modules, a short user’s manual, and a sticker with the HyperX logo. It’s quite typical for HyperX products but also enough for the installation.
The installation is simple, and most uses won’t have any problems with that. Those who aren’t sure how to install the memory should check the user’s manual so they won’t damage anything.
Compared to the standard HyperX Predator memory, the RGB version has a semi-transparent top bar. Everything else is the same, so the same aggressive design and black/dark gray color scheme. It’s still one of my favorite DRAM designs, even though is on the market for a long time.
All RGB enthusiasts may find one feature very important. This feature is infrared lighting synchronization. It doesn’t sound so special till you notice how it works. Most memory modules with RGB illumination have little delays between modules which causes that after some time, effects on all memory modules are different. HyperX technology synchronizes all memory modules for the perfect matching effect. Other memory brands require additional software, but even then, some motherboards have little delays in signals between memory slots. I had no problems like that on most motherboards, but on some specific MSI, it was appearing.
Above, you can see one of the test rigs and some photos of how the memory looks like.
The mentioned RGB lighting can be adjusted via supported motherboard software, and in this case, all counting motherboard brands support HyperX memory kits. Another way is to use NGenuity software, which delivers HyperX and can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
Let’s move to the next page to check some test results.
