[TPU] A sneak peak at ADATA's next generation RAM modules

[Bluejay0]

As you know, in Q1 of 2015 will be  the supposed release of the Haswell-E and Broadwell chips. Along with that we still need to wait for new RAM modules to release so we can run these next generation chips. ADATA has just detailed a look into their next generation DDR4 RAM modules for the enthusiasts. These new modules will be able to meet the 16 GB per stick density as what DDR4 will bring.

 

 

 

Here is the first picture of ADATA's XPG V3 DDR3 DRAM module. It will be launched alongside the company's first enthusiast-grade DDR4 modules. ADATA's XPG Z1 DDR4 modules will come in densities as high as 16 GB, clocked at JEDEC-standard DDR4-2133 MHz, and run at module voltages of 1.2V. The same heatspreader design as the one pictured below, will also be used on the company's new XPG V3 line of DDR3 modules, and will come in a number of color options, to match your motherboard's color scheme. The first client platforms with support for DDR4 memory include Intel "Broadwell," and "Haswell-E" HEDT.

 

I feel personally the heatsinks match very well to the ASUS WS board's heatsinks for some reason. Probably due to geometry.

what in the world?! who would want pyramids in their pc?

That aint a pyramid x3

 

Seriously though, they look fine to me. Personally I like either black or silver heatsinks.

[Paralectic]

No more green modules? YES PLEASE

looks like one in a way i know its a triangle but for some reason just reminds me of one 

[SAV1OUR]

No more green modules? YES PLEASE

what wrong with green ram? looks nice in something like a g1 sniper

It's not even remotely close to a pyramid...it actually looks cool and for once they didn't put big ass fins, teeth, or even a flat bar across the top. Plus, some designs work better than others for cooling. I imagine this helps heat go out the sides or something.

In a G1 sniper, yes, but the modules without the heatsinks in green is really ugly on almost any other board.

ahh thought you were talking about the heat sink not the pcb

You get to pick your favourite colour clashes ^^

Ooh no not the heatsink :-)

I can certainly think of several ways using a RAM module with a green heatsink!

I know! I've seen all those kits from AData in a video a while ago. pretty cool.

 

Black Pink build incoming.. ;-)

Despite my preference to a silver/black build I would actually consider a purple themed one. Love me some Warlock purple.

That would indeed look awesome! Especially with the same purple used for the tubing in the loop.

Reminds me somewhat of @LinusTech his build.

[The Crazed Child]

If the standard DDR4 voltage is 1.2 volts @ 2133Mhz, imagine the clock speeds on 1.5 volts, which my 1600Mhz DDR3 runs at. Amazing.

[Stadiz]

That looks freaking sexy.

[wpirobotbuilder]

Good looking, and hopefully will be one of the first to support 16 GB per DIMM. All the memory!

[Mooshi]

That shade of red is glorious!

 

Only thing I can fault is the heatsink. I don't really see the point of redic tall heatsinks. They are unnecessary and only create compatibility issues. With such low voltage and efficiency, it makes zero sense.

What on earth happened to simple nice looking RAM. Like these sticks:

[ViruZ_HUN]

As you know, in Q1 of 2015 will be  the supposed release of the Haswell-E. Your wrong. Intel confirmed today that it will be on september...

Lol, I saw this today:D I did not post it because i am not intressted in DDr4 anymore, I want pricing:D

 

I dont like the design. I will wait for corsairs..

[Accursed Entity]

What an interesting shape.

[ionbasa]

what in the world?! who would want pyramids in their pc?  

The heatsink shape is actually a triangular prism.

 

But I agree with you, it was a stupid design choice. It will impact people who have air coolers, like the Noctua NH-D14.

I like it, does it come in blue :]?
