we're gonna be taking a look today at the ADATA xpg gaming ram now some of you may be claimed what's a data I've never heard of a dude well a data is a company that's been around for quite a long time but they did a lot of business solutions portable hard drives that sort of thing and they're really now trying to really expand upon their gaming line of RAM and so that's what we're gonna be taking a look at today the unboxing is really easy there it is you can see it practice I'm in a box it's a plastic sleeve which is perfectly okay because you know it doesn't really matter it's got this little tab right here you just pull it back and it's free pull the Rams not for you have to pay for it but here it is it's very unique design in terms of the the heat spreader on there and it's available in different colors you can get it in gold and this kind of a gunmetal grey I don't know if there's any other colors besides that but it is a very attractive Ram I like the way it looks the PCB on the RAM is black that's awesome I mean there's nothing uglier than looking at a green PCB underneath a really cool heatsink just messing up your color scheme it's pretty heavy-duty it is a Lumina meets Inc here I'm taking a look at the heat pads they're all touching all of the RAM modules so it looks like we're gonna have good cooling on there and let's go and talk about the speed we are looking at the eight gigabyte kit it's two times four gigabytes and what a lot of people get stuck on the speed of the RAM oh it's 1600 megahertz or it's 1866 or it's 2133 it's 3000 megahertz some people might go with 1600 a little bit slow by today's standards well it really depends on what you're doing we've already learned that gaming RAM in some of my previous videos does not benefit from superfast Ram speeds there are some exceptions out there before you guys start writing me hate mail yes are some exceptions like Minecraft and AP use we're now talking about AP use here guys we're talk about gaming systems that use graphics cards there there is I believe Skyrim with all of the texture mods of just eats up Ram like crazy we're talking about quantity of RAM there but not so much the speed of the RAM so the xpg line at least this Ram module I'm looking at is 1600 megahertz but the timing on this the timing is nine nine nine twenty four I'm not gonna get into what those numbers mean I'm just going to tell you that with your CL latency are your timing of 99 924 for gaming it's very quick Ram the latency on this is great and the latency is is the very important when it comes to communicating with your processor especially for overclocking so we're going to go ahead and we're going to take this Ram we're gonna throw it in a rig that I'm building right now and we're gonna see just how well this Ram performs we're gonna see how far we can overclock it and we're gonna see what kind of benchmarks we get using this xpg ram from a data okay so it's been approximately three weeks since I've received the rim and I've been using it now for almost that length of time and I've put this Ram through an awful lot of stress testing both through gaming synthetic benchmarks memory tests memory overclocking BIOS all the overclocking is done in the BIOS and if there's one word I had I have to use when it comes to this rim that would honestly be reliable I could not get the RAM to fail until I reached 24 hundred megahertz as the effective clock on the RAM that's a lot I can't even get my Corsair Vengeance to boot at 2200 let alone 2400 and these past my stability tests at 2200 now granted you have to relax the timings quite a bit when you overclock Ram that far but the bottom line is it was stable and it was fast and I may be putting some images up here showing you the different benchmarking scores through mem test on our maximum on just how well these modules did and you know I think everything about this Ram is terrific I think this is excellent gamer Ram they may not be the fastest timings on the market but they are certainly quick enough where gamers aren't going to notice it whatsoever and you can save some cash by going with 1600 memory modules like this or 1600 megahertz modules like this as opposed to buying 2,000 or 2200 base clock modules because you can get good overclocking perform inside of these you want to make sure you have good air air flow over the RAM modules obviously but which brings me to another point the heat sinks on this are fairly low profile I mean some heat sinks out there even though they've got these points right here they're fairly low profile where some get really high and they get a bit ridiculous on that I mean they look really good they overclock even better I definitely I definitely enjoy this Ram in fact I'll be honest I had never used a data Ram prior to this and the xpg in line it's pretty badass I mean I don't know what else to say I would certainly use these and feel comfortable using these for you know if you're building a computer now or maybe you're looking for new RAM I would consider these I honestly would these are great modules at a great price at the time of filming these were only sitting at about 65 bucks for an 8 gigabyte kit I mean that's not bad at all I mean you can get 16 gigs for 120 bucks that's cheaper than I paid for my corsair ram so there you go guys the xpg the ADATA xpg gamer line of ram i would like to see some more colors the gunmetal just looks killer I love the gunmetal look on this it matches the Gigabyte build perfectly and it does it is available on gold but I would like to see maybe red maybe some blue and definitely a black to make sure you cover all your bases when it comes to aesthetic builds so there it is guys Jase 2 cents taking a look at the X PGA data modules here go and check them out I mean you've got nothing to lose and only stability and speed to gain there it is guys you know what to do if you liked this video you know to do if you did not like this video and it does anything you want to see me review make sure you put it down in the comments I would like to review things that you guys want to know more about making your smart buyers here this holiday season when it comes to buying and building your own PC I'm gonna get out of here I got more stuff to do as always I will see you in my next video you
