Adata Spectrix D40 RGB 8GB DDR4 3000MHz Desktop Ram

As the first Adata Spectrix D40 RGB memory by XPG, Adata Spectrix D40 RGB integrates stunning performance and visual beauty in an armor-inspired heatsink – perfect for PC DIY enthusiasts, overclockers, and gamers! Adata Spectrix D40 RGB has been fully tested compatible with popular ASUS AURA Sync software, enabling users to customize proprietary RGB colors and effects to match their systems. In addition, D40 features speeds of 3200MHz with support for the Intel X299 platform. It is also compatible with AMD AM4 motherboards. With Intel XMP 2.0 and 10-layer PCBs, D40 enhances overclocking as well as system stability. Like all ADATA memory modules, SPECTRIX D40 comes with a lifetime warranty backed by excellent service for maximum peace of mind.

Adata Spectrix D40 RGB 8GB DDR4 3000MHz Desktop Ram Review

Adata Spectrix D40 RGB has jumped on the bandwagon of RGB illumination in their latest submission to our lab. What we initially saw as the XPG Dazzle RAM has evolved, and with the addition of RGB illumination, is now called Spectrix D40 RGB, but it is virtually identical in every way outside of the LED options.

Not only is this XMP 2.0 capable RAM offering fancy lights which many gravitate towards, but XPG has also gone as far as to make sure that this DDR4 is compatible with ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, and ASRock customizable RGB software suites. Also, XPG has also created their own suite to deliver options for those systems which do not have motherboard supported RGB LED options.

The Adata Spectrix D40 RGB memory can be had in a range of speeds from 2666MHz all the way up to 4000MHz with no mentions of maximum density, although all we see available are 8GB sticks at this time. Not only does this memory come with full support for X299 as well as any motherboard using XMP 2.0 profiles, but it is also touted as fully compatible with AM4 motherboards as well.

Fully customizable RGB illumination on ten layer PCBs, use of Thermal Conductive Technology (TCT), overclocking capabilities, and even dual XMP 2.0 profiles on these kits are all something which should attract customers to XPG.

In this instance, we are looking at the XPG Spectrix D40 RGB with a two stick kit in 16GB of density, with speeds of either 2666MHz or 3000MHz dependent on which of the XMP profile is chosen to run this kit.

More specifically, we have the AX4U300038G16-DRS kit, in which the main XMP profile runs at 3000MHz with 16-18-18-36 2T timings at 1.35V, or you also have the option to use the Extreme XMP profile, which runs this kit at 2666MHz, 16-16-16-39 2T timings with just 1.20V needed to accomplish it.

It is rare that we see DDR4 with multiple profiles, but we will run it through testing with both options, and see just how well the XPG Spectrix D40 RGB memory can compete for your hard earned dollar amongst other similarly specified options.
