Page 10 - Overclocking and Conclusion
Was there anything that makes the XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB DDR5-8400 2x24GB we are reviewing today unique, and did its uniqueness, if exists, present an advantage? The XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB features a slick gray and silver heatspreader made of 80% recycled aluminum with RGB LED lighting to show off in your build, and a limited lifetime warranty for assurance. The 80% recycled aluminum is unique among the competition, and certainly a differentiator to be had. When it comes to performance, going through our many pages of test results, the XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB provided competitive -- if not expected -- results. Why was it expected? The compared DDR5-8400 kits, including Corsair's Vengeance RGB DDR5-8400 2x24GB and Kingston's Fury Renegade DDR5-8400 2x24GB, all feature identical SK hynix M-die chips beneath the heatspreaders. But with the same hardware, how were the overclocking results? To find out, I kept it at 1.40V and pumped up its clock speed. My test system was able to start at DDR5-9000 with relaxed timings, but it was not Prime95 stable. For Prime95 stable, I was able to get it to DDR5-8800 at 42-54-54-136, as shown in the screenshot above. This represented a 4.8% overclock, which is the best I have seen for a stock DDR5-8400 kit so far, and DDR5-8400 is extremely fast to begin with. Of course, your mileage may vary. For about $350 at press time, the XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB DDR5-8400 2x24GB is a high performance set of CUDIMMs priced within the competition to maximize your system's performance using the latest generation Intel CPUs.
