ADATA announced that they have set a new world record in the air-cooled DDR4 segment using their XPG memory modules and an MSI X99A XPOWER AC motherboard. Not only did ADATA set this impressive new overclocking record, but this is also the first time we get to see the new XPG Z2 DDR4 modules pictured, or rather rendered.
The MSI X99A XPOWER AC has been used to break a lot of records lately and as such isn’t a surprise to be involved in yet another one. To achieve this, they used the XPG Z2 DDR4 3400MHz modules and managed to push it all the way to 4034MHz.
“In cooperation with motherboard manufacturers, ADATA strives to achieve the best performance in DDR4 memory compliant with the Intel® X99 architecture. The XPG Z2 DDR4 3400 breaks the record with extremely high clock frequency of 4034MHz, impressing both gamers and standard CPU clock users alike with outstanding sustained performance, cooling and stability!”
I really like the design choice with the black PCB and simple yet elegant large heatsink and wouldn’t mind having a full set of them in my own system. The normal 3400MHz CL timings for these modules are 16-16-16 at 1.35V.
The new ADATA XPG Z2 modules will be demonstrated in running systems at Computex next week from June 2nd to 6th in Taipei, where fans can check them out and see the performance with their own eyes.
