Kingmax is one of the leading manufacturers of RAM memory modules and Flash memory products. The memory modules are not fancy with extra cooling and voltage indicators, and by the look of these modules, someone might think that the Kingmax memory cannot be a match for the other high quality, fancy looking modules. Our tests however proved that this was not the case, as the Kingmax memory modules performed just as well as anything the competition has to offer.

Kingmax has added a lot of features in the SuperRAM series and especially the programmable read latency, which might be useful for some users who require higher timings at lower operating frequencies. There are two SPD timings offered, the default 400MHz (2.5-3-3-7) and the slower 266MHz (2-2-2-5).

In all tests, except for the HL2 Video Stress test, the Kingmax DDR-400 performed very well. In HL2, the SuperRAM DDR-400 came second in our comparison. On the other hand, overclocking potential was excellent, and the performance boost we got with HL2 was almost 11fps.

The KingMax DDR-400 modules are priced at around €55 each, which is a very good price.

The Good:
- Very good performance at 400MHz
- Cool operation
- Great features
- Very good price

The Bad:
- Slow performance at 266MHz
- Cannot operate at 400MHz with 2-2-2-5 timings
