Kingston Technology is an American company and was founded in 1987, they are best known for their RAM/flash memory and SSD's.

Performance testing.
Aida64 extreme.
SuperPI.
PCMark 7.
3DMark 11.
X264 Benchmark.
Cinebench.
Mafia2 and Dirt3 built-in benchmarks.
Conclusion.
Fantastic RAM from Kingston, 100% stable at the maximum rated 2400Mhz profile.
Setting either the XMP-2133Mhz or XMP-2400Mhz profile was painless within the Gigabyte BIOS
It looks the part if you have a motherboard that has matching colour accents, the only downside is the height if using a large aftermarket cooler, if you have a water cooler or even a aftermarket air cooler thats very narrow, then this stuff is fantastic.
If you are intent on squeezing the last bit of performance from your PC then having higher rated RAM could help you to shave off those last vital seconds or add those last few points to a score.
And for maximum effect, get two sets,
This stuff deserves a solid 10/10
