ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D80 DDR4 combines RGB LEDs with watercooling and 5000MHz

ADATA goes over the top with its new XPG SPECTRIX D80 DDR4 memory modules. These kits not only feature RGB LEDs but also have support for watercooling. Whether you really need watercooled memory is questionable, but it looks pretty cool. I can't immediately find a list of modules but the press release mentions a frequency range from 2666MHz to 5000MHz!

The SPECTRIX D80 features a liquid heatsink on its top side that benefits from a non-conductive fluid to dissipate heat efficiently. It works in conjunction with an aluminum heatsink and thermally conductive materials on the PCB to offer comprehensive cooling. Equipped with programmable RGB lighting, the liquid heatsink isn’t just functional, but also visually captivating with the fluid completely illuminated for all to see. Users can customize the lighting effects by setting up patterns, pulse speed, lighting intensity, and more. Lighting control is intuitive with the RGB Sync app, or users can use an existing RGB lighting control software from a major motherboard maker.

Overclocking Performance, Solid Dependability
Made for avid gamers, DIY enthusiasts, and overclockers, the SPECTRIX D80 provides a wide frequency range from 2666 MHz to 5000 MHz with support for Intel® X299 2666 MHz and AMD AM4/Ryzen platforms. Also, preconfigured Intel® XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) 2.0 profiles allow for quick overclocking, doing away with the need for adjusting individual parameters in BIOS. For added reliability and dependability, the module uses high-quality chips chosen through a strict selection process, while its 10-layer PCB offers improved signaling quality and stability, even when operating at high speeds or under heavy loads.

ADATA XPG first introduced a prototype liquid-cooled memory design during CES 2018 in Las Vegas to much excitement. The XPG SPECTRIX D80 is the realization of the design’s viability for a commercially available memory module.
