In addition, we included G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz dual channel kit in our testing. This kit is also running with default timings of 16-18-18-36 CR2, matching the HyperX Predator kit.

While this isn’t a great direct comparison to a faster memory kit, we will be running the HyperX Predator DDR4 kit at it’s default 2400MHz, XMP profile 2 3000MHz and XMP profile 1 3200MHz.
