Adata XPG Spectrix D60G
A unique memory kit from a company on the rise.
In such a crowded and competitive market, sometimes memory products have little to differentiate them. When a product like the Adata Spectrix D60G manages to undercut the competition on price, you simply have to sit up and take notice. At $159 the Spectrix D60G offers the best value of the all the RGB kits in the roundup. Normally that alone would be enough to take out a winners gong, but this Adata kit is not some bargain basement kit.
The Adata Spectrix kit comes with primary timings similar to the other kits in this test at 16-18-18-36- 2T. It’s good to see Adata hasn’t taken the easy option by equipping poor memory ICs. Its performance was consistently at or near the top of the 2x8GB kits thanks to some aggressive sub timings.
What really sets this kit apart is its RGB implementation. Many kits content themselves with lighting at the top of the
modules, whereas the Spectrix lighting effect covers a large proportion of the sides too. Adata claims 60% of the entire module is lit up. The plastic covering is highly opaque, though perhaps that last bit of vibrancy and definition is lost as a result.
Adata may not be the first name that comes to mind when it comes to performance DRAM, but the company sure is doing its best to make sure that it takes its place amongst the big players in the field. It’s got a unique look, performs and overclocks well and is by far the cheapest kit in the roundup. What’s not to like?
