CONCLUSION

   DDR4 kits with speeds surpassing 4GHz are not the norm in the market (not even today) so whenever one such kit arrives in the lab I'm obviously very curious to see how it performs and even more curious to see how well it overclocks. Unfortunately, i was unable to overclock the Spectrix D45 kit i tested today (even by changing timings and going up to 1.45V my system would hang half way through all tests) so that’s clearly the reason as to why that section is missing from this review. I also forgot to use the XPG RGB Sync software (I was far more interested in overclocking) so if you want to check it out you can see it in my D50 review here. Overall, not much to say about performance, the Spectrix D45 16GB 4133MHz dual-channel kit did pretty well as you can all see from the charts (still I was surprised to see that it did not do quite as well as some other, slower kits).

   With a retail price tag set at USD151.85 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 138.32Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Spectrix D45 16GB DDR4 4133MHz CL19 Dual-Channel Kit by XPG is certainly priced just a tad higher than expected. Still, if you’re not into overclocking and your motherboard can easily support speeds of up to 4133MHz (I do suggest your motherboard DDR4 compatibility list, just in case) the Spectrix D45 kit is certainly worth checking out.

PROS

- Good Performance (Up To 4133MHz CL19)
- Build Quality - Looks (ARGB LED Bar)
- Lifetime Limited Warranty

CONS

- Dual Channel Kits Only
- Price (For Some)
- Overclocking Potential
