GOODRAM IRDM X DDR4 1x8Gb IR-X3200D464L16S/8G

European brand

IRDM X is the older series of “gaming” RAM from the Polish brand Goodram (Wilk Elektronik), which includes both separate modules with a volume of 4, 8 and 16 GB, as well as sets of two bars with a frequency of 2666 to 3200 MHz. Planks with base frequencies of 2133 and 2400 MHz are included in the junior IRDM series without the “X” suffix, but with the same design.

For gamers and overclockers

"Gaming" is now called memory, which was previously called "overclocker" — with a high frequency potential (and as a result, high performance, including in games) and metal radiators that perform both a cooling and a decorative function. It's just that the epithet "gaming" is now more recognizable than "overclocker".

five colours

The IRDM X heatsinks are prudently made thick-walled (this is not aluminium foil, like the cheapest RAM sticks), but low-profile so as not to interfere with the installation of massive tower CPU coolers. Five colour options are available to choose from: black, red, blue, white and “speckled” (a combination of white, grey and red a la winter camouflage). It is the last option that looks the most original. There is no LED backlight, lo and behold, and this is just a godsend against the backdrop of the widespread dominance of RGB.

Higher frequencies, shorter delays

You can only scold IRDM X for the same standard timings for all frequencies. If delays of 16-18-18-18-36 for a frequency of 3200 MHz are an excellent indicator, then for 2666 MHz it is clearly too much. However, this minor flaw can be easily solved by lowering the timings manually. Otherwise, Goodram IRDM X is a solid, guaranteed high-frequency RAM with an elegant design, for which they ask for not much more money than for the simplest non-radiator memory.
