Initial Setup

Since ADATA sent me two kits, I will be running my tests on the MSI X299 CREATION to take advantage of its quad channel capabilities. The XPG SPECTRIX D60G sticks look quite nice with this board, even with the system off.

Of course, the whole selling point of the XPG SPECTRIX D60G is the RGB lighting. I did my best to capture the effect, but it is pretty impressive. I don't think I have seen a kit put out this much light before, and definitely not to as broad an area.

I know the whole RGB LED trend is not popular with everyone, but I am personally a fan and think this kit looks great. I will note that one of two kits dropped out of sync fairly regularly, while the other kit never did.

Running this kit at its rated speed was as simple as enabling XMP. The XPG SPECTRIX D60G had no stability issues at all during my testing.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Hynix chips on an 8-layer PCB.
