We are using an Intel Core i7 4770K processor with an ASRock Z87 OC Formula motherboard to test today's memory kit.
The ADATA XPG V2 8GB memory kit's stock speed is: 2800MHz 12-14-14-36 @ 1.65V.
Note: CPU and CPU Cache frequencies for the Avexir Core Extreme Series 3000MHz comparison memory are different. This is due to the Avexir memory's use of a 102.3MHz BCLK which then increases CPU and CPU Cache speeds. Due to this fact, the Avexir Core Extreme Series 3000MHz memory kit's results for CPU-intensive benchmarks will be omitted.
Z87 Test System:
- Processor: Intel Core i7 4770K.
- Motherboard: ASRock Z87 OC Formula.
- Graphics Card: nVidia GTX 760 2GB.
- System Drive: 500GB Samsung 840 Series SSD.
- CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i.

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.
Kingston or corsair for me im afraid. cheaper and better.
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?
