MaxxMem2 PreView is a handy, free program to rate memory performance. It can be downloaded over here.
Even at 2800MHz, the loose timings of ADATA's XPG V2 memory kit sink it to bottom place in MaxxMEM2's bandwidth results.
Latency performance of the ADATA set is again very good, beating the performance of Corsair's 2400MHz kit by around 5.6%
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?
