ADATA XPG V2 3100MHz 8GB Memory Kit Review

Rating: 8.5.

Targeting extreme enthusiasts with recording-breaking overclock aspirations, ADATA's 3100MHz XPG V2 memory kit is designed to be the best of the best when it comes to raw frequency. Can the 3.1GHz kit's performance and overclocking potential prove that it currently sits at the top of the enthusiast memory pecking order?

With an out-of-the-box DRAM frequency of 3.1GHz, ADATA's XPG V2 3100MHz memory kit is currently the market's joint-fastest (Avexir also has a 3100MHz kit available, and a 3200MHz set which is scarce and of almost non-existent availability). If it's record-breaking overclock results you're after, then ADATA's 3100MHz memory kit gives a solid foundation for high-speed memory operations. A 2oz copper, 8-layer PCB and direct-touch heatsink add to the 3100MHz memory kit's features.

ADATA told us that the screening process to find the chips capable of hitting 3100MHz CL12 at 1.65V is ‘really hard'. Will that demanding screening process translate into some of the highest quality, and therefore most overclockable, chips currently available?
