CONCLUSION

   At first glance even though the latest XPOWER Turbine RGB DDR4 modules look nearly identical to the XPOWER Turbine DDR4 modules they are far from that not only because they use different B-Die Samsung chips but also due to their different power requirements (1.2V for the non-RGB 3200MHz modules and 1.35V for the 3200MHZ RGB modules). The heatspreaders are indeed similar (the RGB model uses slightly larger ones with a different color theme) but thanks to the top RGB LED light bar this time over they feel right at home on an RGB compatible mainboard. Overall performance and overclocking headroom are both at very good levels (although nothing we haven’t seen before) so no complaints here either.

   At the time of this review the XPOWER Turbine RGB DDR4 16GB 3200MHZ Dual Channel kit by Silicon Power can be found for USD84.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) which means that two of these (quad-channel) will set you back USD169.98 a price tag which is actually less than what you’d have to spend for similar kids. Unfortunately, availability inside the EU (at “normal” prices at least) is non existent so for now and until Silicon Power resolves this, potential buyers may have to look elsewhere. Looks, performance and price the XPOWER Turbine RGB 3200MHZ CL16 Quad Channel Kit has it all and for that it gets our Golden Award.
