PNY XLR8 EPIC-X RGB 2x16Gb MD32GK2D4320016XRGB

A dual-channel DDR4 RAM kit that runs at a clock speed of 3200 MHz from the start. It consists of two modules with a capacity of 16 GB each, which in total gives a rather serious array of 32 GB of RAM, which covers the household, gaming and work needs of 95% of users. Belongs to the upper price category, is included in the specialized overclocker series EPIC-X with an emphasis on appearance and speed characteristics.

Designed for use in systems based on Intel Core (6th to 12th generation) and AND Ryzen (Zen 1/2/3 architecture) chips. By default, it operates at a frequency of 3200 MHz with timings of 16-18-18 and a voltage of 1.35 V. The manufacturer guarantees stable operation of the modules at a frequency of 3600 MHz in dual-channel mode with CL18 timings and slightly increased voltage. To install the modes declared by the manufacturer, a motherboard with support for XMP profiles with pre-selected operating settings is required.

Overclocking experiments are only supported, since both modules are equipped with high-quality memory chips, and an array of aluminium plates is used to cool the memory chips, which is layered on top of each other, creating an interesting visual image. A translucent light guide is fixed on top of the plates, through which a muffled glow of RGB elements breaks through. A separate application is provided to control the backlight. Due to the comb, the modules turned out to be rather high (46.5 mm), which can provoke conflicts when installing high tower coolers and liquid cooling systems.
