1.    When you are picking out high end modules, are you choosing the best ones among classic modules, or do you have a special production line for HyperX modules?
We have a special engineering process to choose the best available DRAMs available. When we have completed engineering qualifications, the products are built using a special HyperX testing process, including testing at the voltage,  frequency and latency values specified in the specification. Every module is 100 percent tested and inspected to meet our memory spec's.

2.    Is there a difference between the PCB that you use for HyperX and ones on other series.
There are many features that separate Kingston HyperX from other series. Testing, screening to specification, lifetime warranty and excellent support for the occasional customer that needs help with their memory. Because of our high volume and quality heritage, we usually use the same PCB's that we deliver to our OEM and other customers.

3.    Which are the memory chips manufacturers that you have the best cooperation with, and why?
we cooperate will all the memory vendors on the market. For HyperX, it depends on which DRAM technology, DDR2 or DDR3. Currently, I would say that Elpida and Samsung are popular for our HyperX DDR3 line.

4.    Can you explain us how are you testing HyperX modules? How do you determine the maximum frequency?  
Our design engineers spend much time choosing and testing the best DRAMs. Before any HyperX product gets released into production it must pass strenuous overnight testing, along with a number of DOS and OS based applications and diagnostics. Memtest86+ is used along with others.

5.    Is the process of SPD determination time consuming, or do you receive additional documents from manufacturers about SPD?
The basic SPD is based on industry standard JEDEC values. We program the main profile with a JEDEC SPD and let the customers manually overclock as far as they and their rig can go.
For XMP or EPP SPD's, we pre-program the SPDs with values that will automatically overclock after enabling the profile. Of course, it is best to use the best motherboards or CPU's to achieve the best success.

6.    Do you have special requests to optimize one of the series for AMD or Intel platform?
Intel is XMP, AMD recently discussed the new Black Edition CPUs and software profiles. We are working with them and will release something new soon.

7.    How can you explain the fact that Chuck Norris overclocked HyperX from 1200 MHz to 2200 MHz without additional cooling?
Because John Wayne was not available :)
