With 9-11-9-27 timings and a 2400MHz frequency, this kit is capable of outputting very high numbers. You can also fine tune maximum processor overclocks while maintaining lower memory timings. High CPU clocks paired with high memory clocks (with the lowest possible timings) is not very easy to achieve.

Conclusion:

This kit is a product for the hardcore enthusiast. To utilize its frequency, you need to have a motherboard that can handle it. You will have to raise the base clock above comfortable levels to reach 2400MHz. The memory related voltages and CPU voltages will also have to be raised. This memory requires a lot of overclocking experience and your motherboard will be the limiting factor.
