RAM DDR4 3200Mhz PNY XLR8 Gaming - Review

The initial packaging of the PNY XLR4 Gaming DDR3200 8Mhz RAM Memory. This is the kit box of two 8GB modules in Dual Channel.

On the back of the box we are told about the properties for enthusiasts and the most demanding. A frequency speed of 3200 MHz (PC4-25600), 1,35V voltage, compatible with XMP 2.0 overclocking software, and with the speeds of 3300 MHz, 3000 MHz, 2933 MHz, 2800 MHz, 2666 MHz, 2400 MHz and 2133MHz.

In the compatibility it says that it is compatible with Windows 10 or earlier, but we can intuit that the compatibility is maintained in the case of using Windows 11.

We open the box and we find that the modules are separated, but together in the same blister.

We take the modules out of the blister pack and turn them over to see if they have additional information. The only thing we consider is that each of them has a sticker with product information.

With the modules connected to the motherboard, we can appreciate the RGB strip , which will be most noticeable on devices with a transparent side panel.

As usual in our reviews, we are interested in testing the hardware in dedicated benchmarks to get empirical usage data. In this case it can be seen that 3200 MHz is reached using the XM overclocking program.

This is under a certified enthusiast profile, clocked at 1600 MHz and with latency 16-18-18-38 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS).

Another detail that we see is that we are told that there is no thermal sensor, which means that we must be careful when we overclock these memories so as not to damage them.

The benchmark with the DDR4 3200Mhz PNY XLR8 Gaming RAM Memory that AIDA 64 Cache & Memory VBenchmark has given us, we appreciate the different speeds of the memory modules.

The speed remains stable in reading and writing, although in the copy it is reduced somewhat substantially, but barely noticeable.
