HyperX Releases Impact SO-DIMMs, FURY SSD, White Headset and Mouse Pad at Computex

Kingston's HyperX launched at Computex the HyperX Impact memory for gamers along with the entry-level FURY SSD at Computex, Taipei. The HyperX Impact memory replaces the current SO-DIMM offerings under Genesis, PnP and LoVo into one family.

The new memory was demonstrated during the trade show and achieved a world record for the fastest SO-DIMM frequency running at 2666MHz.

HyperX Impact is available in frequencies ranging from 1600MHz to a 2400MHz in capacities of 4GB and 8GB single modules and 8GB to 16GB kits of 2. Voltages start at 1.35V and upgrading is effortless as Plug and Play (PnP) functionality is designed into every module to automatically overclock within the system speed allowance without manual tuning. HyperX Impact can also be used to upgrade small form factor systems.

For entry-level gamers, HyperX introduced the FURY SSD series, which is based on locked synchronous NAND and is powered by the LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller with SATA Rev 3.0 (6GB/s) performance. The solid-state drive offers read/write speeds of 500/500MB/s and it is available in 120GB and 240GB capacities.

HyperX FURY SSD is available as a standalone drive with a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter. It is backed by a three-year warranty.

HyperX also gave a preview of the forthcoming special White Edition HyperX Cloud headset along with the HyperX Skyn, a paper-thin hard mouse pad with an adhesive bottom to stick to a desk, yet removable with a lift of a tab on the side. HyperX Skyn comes in a package of two. One mouse pad creates a surface to give the gamer more control for accuracy while another allows increased speed for fast moving action.
