XPG has been working closely with its motherboard partners, including GIGABYTE, MSI, ASUS, and ASRock, to ensure the highest level of compatibility and ability to realize extreme overclocking performance.
The new DDR5 modules will come in two variants, with and without RGB. Despite this difference, they share a cohesive industrial design.

For added depth, the matte surface of the modules are beveled for an additional textural element and futuristic look.
To communicate the XPG brand, the modules sport diagonal intersecting lines and grooves that form geometric forms and X shapes that play off the XPG brand name and visual identity.
XPG’s new DDR5 modules are set to give gamers and PC enthusiasts a noticeable improvement over DDR4 modules.
In addition to higher frequencies of above 4800MHz, the modules will also be more energy efficient, operating at 1.1V compared to 1.2V. What’s more, the modules will come built with a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) and Error Correcting Code (ECC) technology for enhanced efficiency and stability.
