Posted on Monday, January 08 2018 @ 13:29 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck-HyperX®, the gaming division of Kingston® Technology Company, Inc., today announced the industry’s first memory modules featuring synchronized RGB lighting with IR (infrared) technology – the HyperX® Predator DDR4 RGB. HyperX has designed IR communication channels onto each memory module, allowing multiple modules to sync LED lighting and produce an exceptional color and pattern display. Powered directly from the motherboard, this patent-pending technology provides an enhanced visual experience of RGB memory for gaming, overclocking PCs and DIY system builds. A video demo of the HyperX IR technology is here.
“As a leader in performance and overclocked memory for 15 years, HyperX is excited to bring this unique RGB memory innovation to CES 2018 and the market,” said Kristy Ernt, business manager, HyperX. “Synchronizing HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB memory using IR technology creates a new way to experience RGB lighting on a PC and enables gamers and overclockers to further personalize their gaming experience.”
In addition to IR synchronized RGB lighting control, the Predator DDR4 RGB modules also support multiple lighting profiles when plugged into motherboards with compatible RGB control software. HyperX is working with motherboard partners to test and qualify the HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB memory with their control software, including ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync. In addition, chassis vendors like In-Win are also adding features to support RGB lighting and control.
Besides the new memory, HyperX also has a couple of new gaming peripherals:
HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless Gaming Headset, HyperX’s first wireless gaming headset, with 30 hours battery life, the longest battery life available in the gaming market.
HyperX Alloy Elite RGBTM keyboard is HyperX’s first full-featured RGB keyboard. Customize your keyboard or individual keys by simply using the HyperX NGenuity software. HyperX Pulsefire Surge gaming mouse is HyperX’s first RGB mouse with Dynamic 360° RGB lighting effects. The Pulsefire Surge uses a Pixart 3389 sensor with support up to 16,000 DPI.
