Kingston Makes Red HyperX Memory for Fashionable Mobos
Red RAM so that your memory won't feel out of place in your enthusiast motherboard.
If color coordination is an important part of your gaming rig, then Kingston has a new option for you. We learned about Kingston's HyperX Red Limited Edition memory modules earlier this month, but we finally got to go eyes-on for the new color. Yes, it's for pure aesthetics, but if you're building a new system and you have a red-themed motherboard -- like the ROG series from Asus -- it's worth a look.
For those who want their memory to match their motherboards, the HyperX Red is a good option that's available in 8GB kits and 4GB single modules at 1600MHz and 1333MHz, in both 1.65v and 1.5v, fully Intel XMP ready.

OR, just do what you do with luggage, and offer different color selections of all types on Newegg...
I'd buy that shizniz for the lulz

I cant believe you like money too. We should hang out

may be silk screened
get me some my little pony, hello kitty is funny, but really old at this point, people get hello kitty for the lulz to often to be truly funny. i want something immaculateing, yet so fast that people have to get it.
Their other kits are 1.65V as well. There's absolutely nothing new about these...
But we can get much better RAM than this that also has such low profile heat sinks. G.Skill Sniper series has pretty small heat sinks and they look way better than these do. The 1866MHz 1.5v Snipers are awesome and about the same price as the 1600MHz HyperX's here and are well known for overclocking easily to 2133MHz.
Can't say I'd ever buy these. If I want red so much and can't find something else (G.Skill modules besides the Sniper series are generally red aren't they?) then I would rather go with a different look than get inferior modules. Granted I only have 1600MHz right now but I'll never buy 1333MHz modules and I'll never buy 1.65v modules and I'll never spend that much money for even better modules unless they are way better for their price (like those G.Skill 1866 modules, I'd get those if I had money for a new machine)
Anyway enough of my common sense blab; wish Tom's wouldn't turn into advertisement news and the weather service like so many other sites.
