I assume there both DDR3 from the title, can you tell me what the capacity and rated speed of each kit is? Generally the HyperX is better than Hynix, but I have had success with both brands.

Since you didn't tell us anything about the spec, use the one that work better on your system

That may not be the best answer considering 1 may be 1600mhz and 8gb's but seem to run better than an 1866mhz 16 or 32gb set when the latter set would clearly be better. We need more information on the kits of ram you have.

I had a 1600 mhz 8gb stick from Samsung and a 2gb 1333mhz stick from Samsung and the 2gb stick seemed to be faster to the eye yet the 8gb one is clearly better.

Oh I didn't know about measuring performance with my eye.

Can you tell us the specs of each kit of ram you have? This way we can give you a more accurate recommendation than look at it and pick which one seems faster.
