ADATA XPG Gammix D35 3200MHz (2x16GB) review – nicely priced memory that has good OC potential


    Installation, Setup, Testing, Overclock

    The installation is business as usual, you have to put the memory in RAM slots “1” and “3” and after that, you have to start your PC, enter the BIOS, select the XMP profile (and maybe you should set 1.35V DRAM voltage manually depending on your motherboard) and that’s all.

    We don’t have an Intel 12th or 13th Gen PC with a DDR4-compatible motherboard in our office so we’re going to use a Coffee Lake-based computer for this review. Here are the specs:

    Intel Core [email protected]
    Gigabyte Z390 UD
    Gigabyte RX6800 (with reference cooler)
    ADATA XPG Gammix D35 3200MHz (2x16GB)
    Windows 10 21H2

    The XPG memory isn’t going to break any benchmark records with its out-of-the-box timings (16-20-20-38-560) but that’s just fine given the end-price. Here, we have Micron E-Die chips. This sounds okay for at least modest overclocking.

    Alright, it’s time for some benchmarks.

    Stock results

    Some Aida64, Cinebench R23, and Blender results.

    You can also check the 3DMark Time Spy and Shadow Of The Tomb Raider test scores.

    OC results

    Alright, we were able to overclock the memory to 3800MHz with the following timings – [email protected]. Let’s see if this has a positive impact on the overall performance.

    More Aida64 benchmarks.

    We can spot a 10FPS higher score in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider which is good.
