CONCLUSION

   As you can all tell from the charts the V8 RGB 8GB DDR4 3600MHz modules by HP may not be at the top of the “food chain” but they perform well, look nice and can be very easily overclocked to 3800MHz (safe bet they can go much higher with more voltage). The only slight issue with this RAM is the lack of control software which means that unless your mainboard supports one of the leading RGB sync technologies (Asus Aura Sync/Gigabyte RGB Fusion/MSI Mystic Light/ASRock Polychrome) you will not be able to control the effects of the RGB LEDs inside the top bar. The 5 year warranty is also a nice touch even though some manufacturers are now offering lifetime warranties on certain high-end models.

   There’s currently limited availability for the HP V8 RGB modules (all frequencies) so prices are unfortunately quite higher than expected. For example, each 8GB 3600MHz module currently retails for 88.8Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de – no availability in the USA, at least none that I was able to find) so for two you will need to spend roughly 178Euros. Leaving out current availability and price however the V8 RGB 16GB 3600MHz kit by HP is certainly worth checking out and comes highly recommended by us (even more so if HP manages to fix the above issues).
