XPG Spectrix D45G DDR4 16GB 3600MHz RGB Memory Review

How Much Does It Cost?

The ADATA XPG Spectrix D45G DDR4 RGB Memory is available now from many major retailers. the exact kit I reviewed today, which is 16GB (8GBx2) running at 3600 MHz is available on Amazon for just £90.86, which is pretty decent really. However, if you want a 32GB kit (16GBx2) that’s just £170.42, which is very competitive too. It’s available in a good range of speeds too, with something like the 4400 MHz version available for £135, should you need that extra performance edge.

Overview

The latest memory kit from XPG was never going to set any world records, and it was never going to disappoint me either. At 3600 MHz, it’s right on the line of what’s popular in the market today. It’s not so slow that it’ll hold your performance up, and it’s not so fast that it starts to get painfully expensive. Even the capacity is just about right, and at 16GB (2x8GB), it’s really all most current gaming PCs need, and the same goes for daily work PCs too.

Of course, if you’re doing a lot of high-resolution gaming, video editing, or working in larger files in general, such as sprawling spreadsheets and loads of other documents at once, then perhaps the 32GB kit is for you. Even better, per GB, the 32GB kit is cheaper than buying two 16GB kits, so keep that in mind.

The Spectrix series is literally just what they call their RGB products. Of course, it delivers on that beautifully, with a nice and bright light bar right down the spine of the memory. Furthermore, I think the aesthetics of this memory are excellent because they kept things simple. There are no crazy patterns, no crazy colours on the heatsinks, and no excessive branding. There’s an XPG badge on the side, and one on the spine; that’s it. The matte black finish basically just lets the RGB do the talking.

Want the same stealthy black memory with those thick heatsinks, but you don’t want the RGB light bar? Then order yourself the GAMMIX D45 memory. It’s literally the same, but it’s all black aluminium, and it looks great too!

Should I Buy Them?

The XPG Spectrix D45G DDR4 RGB Memory offers just the right level of performance, capacities, and prices to suit the wider market. While it doesn’t push any boundaries, it delivers on what you need, and it does it with a stylish and simple design that’s sure to look great in any system. I can’t really argue with that; it’s just all-around good memory!
