Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Gaming Performance with PNY 16GB XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB DDR4 3200MHz Desktop Memory by Sean Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Make sure you buy Dual Channel RAM if you are looking for 2 RAM

Great RAM at a great price. Looks great in my build and quite bright. There are several different RGB modes available and it looks pretty cool. My personal favorite is the rainbow mode, which cycles through all the colors from the bottom to the top of the heatsink in a smooth pattern. Although I have a note for those who read reviews before buying. Please make sure you get not only one 16GB DDR4 RAM module but two 8GB DDR4 RAM modules. I had to return a set of RAM that I bought here at Revain as I didn't see anything at first glance to indicate it was a single channel. I just saw that the price was surprisingly cheaper than other RAMs on Revain so I bought it. I ended up returning it to get dual channel RAM for $10 more. After my dilemma when I got the new 2 x 8 GB RAM sticks, I installed them and loaded the XMP profiles. I ran some RAM stress tests to make sure it was stable with Prime 95 and they were stable. I went through the RAM overclocking process and was able to get a stable RAM overclock with timings of 15-15-15-15-35 at 1.45v from the original timings of 16-18-18-18-38 at 1.35v preserved (yes, 1.45B is safe for 24/7 RAM usage). I can probably go further on Overcloco but haven't tried it yet. I would highly recommend to anyone who may or may not want to buy this RAM kit. Good value for money and looks very good. LED lighting has many different options in software (I'm using ASRock B450M Pro4 with ASRock Polychrome).

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
