ADATA XPG V2 2800MHz 8GB Memory Kit Review

Luke Hill September 4, 2013 Featured Tech Reviews, Memory

We are using the ASRock Z87 OC Formula motherboard to test today's memory kit. It supports RAM from many manufacturers and gives us a large amount of flexibility to tinker with memory multiplier, base clock and timings settings. It has also reached the highest DRAM frequency of all the Z87 motherboards that we have tested.

Our full review of the ASRock Z87 OC Formula motherboard can be read here.

The fully-functioning XMP profile configured the memory kit for use at its 2800MHz frequency and correct timings.

stock-config

Windows and CPU-Z registered the memory's functioning settings as correct.

Our system's CPU-Z validation running at a 2800MHz DRAM frequency can be found here.

    They seem a good brand, but I have to agree – their prices are much over what I would expect. I always thought the best strategy was to hit the market at competitive prices, then build up a reputation. Sadly they aren’t Apple. still I have their mobile wifi drive which I got on sale and its very well built.

    I wish kitguru wouldn’t review ADATA, same as COUGAR – their UK distribution is dire (both only ever seem to be seen on Amazon) and their pricing? WTF, seriously. corsair are cheaper than both and have good warranty and backup, oh yeah and a recognisable brand name.

    get a clue.

    Gold heatspreaders? Did Asus make these for their Z87 boards?

    Can you explain how we can remove the heatsinks? aren’t the RAM chips glued to the heatsink?
