Test: ADATA XPG DDR3 2133 Gaming Series RAM

Konklusion

ADATA XPG Gaming Series RAM'ene som har været igennem testmøllen, formår at levere en ganske fornuftigt ydelse, dog ikke helt på højde med de tidligere testede fra G.Skill.
Køleprofilerne, giver et solidt indtryk at her er tale om kvalitet hele vejen igennem. Sidder du med et mindre setup hvor pladsen omkring RAM soklerne kan være træng eller du har en stor køler monteret, skal du måske lige tænke dig om en ekstra gang, da disse køleprofiler fylder mere i landskabet.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
ADATA XPG Gaming Series, er primært rettet mod gamer segmentet med 2oz dobbelt kobber PCB (Printed Circuit Board) samt køleprofiler med TCT (Thermal Conductive Technology for bedre varmeoverførelse ved f.eks. overclocking, da RAM chippene har direkte kontakt til køleprofilen.
I følge ADATA's hjemmeside, skulle disse kunne køre hele 2400MHz ved 9-11-9-27, har dog ikke haft mulighed for at bekræfte dette.

Design/Layout - 5
Designet er ret pænt, uden at være alt for fancy, den sorte køleprofil går godt i samspil med den sorte farve på printet hvilket giver et fedt look.

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen er ganske fornuftig og ligger i ca. samme skala som andre DDR3-2133MHz RAM. Overlcokingsdelen måtte vi desværre undvære da man er rimelig begrænset med et SB setup. Jeg er dog ret sikker på de nok skulle kune vise tænder ved 2400MHz som ADATA oplyser på deres hjemmeside at de kan rende/løbe.

Pris - 3
Prisen ligger omkring DKR 800-999,- for 4x4GB RAM hvilket ligger i et acceptabelt prisniveau.

 

UK summary

ADATA XPG Gaming Series RAM that has been through our test suite, manages to deliver a very reasonable performance, though not quite on par with the previously tested from G.Skill.
Cooling profiles, gives a solid impression that this is quality from the start to the end.

If you are sitting with a small setup where space around the RAM sockets can be a problem, then you must remember that these RAM modules take a little more space.
 

Innovation/Technology - 4
ADATA XPG Gaming Series, is primarily aimed for the gamer segment with double 2oz copper PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and cooling profiles with TCT (Thermal Conductive Technology for better heat transfer when overclocking, because the RAM chips have direct contact to the heatsink.
According to ADATA's website, these could run  2400MHz at 9-11-9-27, but I have not been able to confirm this.

Design/Layout - 5
The design is quite nice, without being too fancy, the black heat sink is going well in tandem with the black color on the PCB which gives a great look.

Performance - 4
Performance is quite reasonable, is located in approx. same scale as other DDR3 2133MHz RAM. We unfortunately had to miss the overclock part because it is fairly limited with a SB setup. I am pretty sure they probably would show teeth at 2400MHz as ADATA states on their website that they can run.

Price - 3
The price is around DKK 800-999, - for a 4x4GB set, which is at an acceptable price level.
