It's time for awesome stories

Hi GT! In the new year we want to make our materials better and more useful, and therefore we offer to participate in the exchange of knowledge: you are interesting concepts, stories and life experience to us, well, we are nice prizes and gifts.



HyperX has three main areas of work: gaming peripherals, RAM, and SSD-drives. In each of them, we strive to create better products and make customers not just “users”, but fans who are 100% satisfied with the result of the upgrade. In our mini-competition there are also three nominations - by the number of industries. Here are the conditions.

“The skill is dragging, but the hardware decides”

You can be arbitrarily high-class specialist in any field, but sooner or later the “personal skill” will rest on the ceiling of the hardware. It is difficult to be a good sniper, if the sight is shot down, and the butt is loose.

Working with graphics and 3D, typing, and the same games - comfortable peripherals with high-end components can save you a lot of time, effort and nerves, and sometimes even bring you to a new level of skill. Share your story: when and in what situations the replacement of conventional keyboards, mice or headsets helped you at work or in games. The author of the best publication will get HyperX Alloy Elite FPS - a mechanical keyboard with a well-thought-out architecture and a minimum of extra features.

“Say no to spherical horses in vacuum”

Any benchmark is good and evil in one bottle. On the one hand, it allows you to compare two similar glands under the same conditions. On the other hand, it is not always known that the test is “under the hood”, and whether the obtained indicators are at least somewhat useful in real tasks. We are for objective benchmarks, and we suggest you to invent a simple, reproducible and most fully meets the actual needs methodology for measuring the performance of SSD-drives.

Take personally your user experience, learn which operations are important to you and which are minor, suggest a typical usage scenario, and perhaps you will get a set of 2 Kingston KVR DDR4 2133 MHz 8 GB memory modules.

"Need for Speed"

Games, work with graphics, video and 3D, multi-threaded programming tasks, specific hardware ... Usually, users rarely pay attention to the frequency of RAM: there is a "mainstream" - and what the hell is with it. Those 2-3% increase in overall performance, which can be obtained from high-speed modules, are often cheaper and more profitable to “squeeze” out of a computer with an SSD-drive or a small overclocking. But there are situations when a set of high-performance memory literally transforms the familiar hardware and allows you to get a significant result with “little blood”.

Tell your story when the RAM upgrade helped you out and what exactly turned out to be critically sensitive to speed / volume / delay. For us, this is an invaluable user experience that will improve iron articles and reviews, and for you - a great chance to become the owner of 16 GB (2x8) HyperX Fury DDR4-2400 memory with excellent factory radiators - stylish and effective.

Unique experience

Do you have a completely unmatched epic about the battle of high loads with a weak iron? Brilliant thoughts or concepts? Suggestions that do not fit under the given framework? Well, send them too, marked “Out of category”. If there are a lot of such records and stories will be really good, we will think up something else with prizes.

How to participate

The competition will be held from November 30 to December 18. To participate, just leave a comment to this article in the format:
