ADATA announced world's first DDR4 for overclockers; the XPG Z1 series.
This memory runs at 1.2V, it features frequencies of up to 2800MHz and CL 17-17-17 timings.
ADATA® Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash application products, today launches the first DDR4 overclocking memory of XPG series – XPG Z1, which supports the latest Intel® Haswell-E platform for ultimate performance. With the benefits of DDR4, the XPG Z1 is not only a powerful weapon for gaming, also an important component for overclocking.
Performance Boosts with Great Power Efficiency
DDR4 outperforms DDR3 with improved performance and lower power consumption. The operating voltage has decreased from 1.5V to 1.2V, which is a 20% reduction of power, and keeps the system at a low temperature for stable operation. With speeds of up to 2800MHz, timings of CL 17-17-17 and transfer bandwidth reaching 22GB/s, the XPG Z1 provides improved efficiency of data transfer than ever. It only requires 1.2V to achieve high clock frequency of 2800MHz for overclockers. In addition, the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) of XPG Z1 allows direct application without changing settings in the BIOS, facilitating usage and system stability.
Looks cool, Acts cool
The XPG Z1 features a jet wing-inspired design with carbon texture used for race cars, symbolizing the pursuit of extreme performance. Thanks to the unique Thermal Conductive Technology and 10-layer PCBs with 2oz copper, the chips in XPG Z1 can contact with the heat sinks directly, ensuring IC and PCB operate in an environment of equal temperature, as well as reduce electric resistance and consume less power, which greatly enhances the quality of signal transfer.
The Maximum Durability and Assurance
The XPG Z1 DDR4 DRAM Module is made of high-quality chips selected through a strict filtering process. It also uses the top quality PCBs (Printed Circuit Board) that effectively extend the lifespan of memory modules. Additionally, ADATA memory modules provide customers a lifetime warranty for the maximum assurance with excellent service.
