INTRODUCTION

    CUDIMM DDR5 kits with speeds set at around 10.000MT/s (MH/z) may actually be a thing today but not only are they but a drop in the ocean compared to regular UDIMM kits, they also need to be paired with Intel Z890 motherboards for proper utilization, currently at least (single PLL mode). So, it's no wonder that most consumers looking to get their hands on a new DDR5 kit are usually looking for kits with speeds ranging from 6000MHz and all the way up to 8000MHz. ANACOMDA may not be among the well-established RAM manufacturers but after testing their very good D5 RGB kit today with me I have their latest G5 Python 32GB DDR5 Dual-Channel Kit.

    The anaconda in our logo stands for the phenomenal speed and immense capacity of our products, as well as the connection between our products, global trends, and human development. ANACOMDA believes that data storage products should be technology encased in fine works of art. Our products are produced under strict manufacturing standards. In addition to various customer services, our brand also offer designs that are aesthetically pleasing. The original concept of ANACOMDA is to "turn memory into luxury" and offer customers a brand new electronic product experience. This led us to our ultimate brand concept: Luxury For Memory.

    The G5 Python line of DDR5 RAM by ANACOMDA is available only in white color and in dual (2x8/16/32GB) channel kits. These kits are currently available with frequencies going all the way up to 800MHz (6000/7200/8000MHz), timings as low as CL34 (6000MHz CL34 - 7200MHz CL36 - 8000MHz CL38) and voltages ranging from 1.25V and all the way up to 1.45V (6000MHz 1.35V - 7200/8000MHz 1.45V). Past the plastic and aluminum white heatspreaders of the EXPO & XMP 3.0 compatible G5 Python 8000MHz CL38 kit ANACOMDA has placed single die modules by SK Hynix (ECC) and RGB LEDs compatible with all the motherboard sync technologies (ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync and MSI Mystic Light Sync). As for warranty ANACOMDA covers the entire G5 Python line of DDR5 kits with a very generous limited lifetime one.

SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES

THE G5 PYTHON 32GB 8000MHZ CL38

The G5 Python kit arrived inside a black box that has a large product picture at the front along with the company logo and the supported motherboard sync technologies.

At the rear ANACOMDA has placed the kit selection and contact information.

Just the two modules are placed inside the box.

The aluminum heatspreaders feature plastic covers and typically on one side have a sticker with details about the kit.

Under the plastic bar placed on top ANACOMDA has placed at least 7 RGB LEDs.

In terms of looks the G5 Python may not stand out but it does deliver (short clip is available both on YouTube and TikTok).

As always details on the kit are available via AIDA64.

TESTING METHODOLOGY

   Thanks to XMP 3.0 and EXPO profiles the only thing one needs to do in order to run a brand new RAM kit at its advertised frequency, timings and voltages is to choose/enable it from within the BIOS and reboot (for CUDIMM you don’t need to do anything when used with a compatible motherboard). That being said if you're into overclocking you may not wish to use the main XMP/EXPO profile but instead to choose your very own frequency, timings and voltages to achieve even higher performance numbers and that's exactly what we'll also be doing during our DDR5 tests. To be more specific aside testing each kit with its XMP profile I'll also be upping the voltages (up to 1.4V for 1.35V kits – even though most kits can function at higher voltages I don’t recommend doing so - RAM modules that use 1.4V/1.45V/1.5V will be tested up to 1.45V/1.5V/1.55V respectively) and frequencies (200MHZ increments) until I find the maximum achievable stable frequency (those results will be entered into the OC charts). I also thought about upping voltages and reducing timings instead of increasing the frequency of the modules as high as it can go (always stable and without using 0.5-1V over stock) but the end results are pretty much identical.

   As for the how I'll be testing each DDR5 Dual-Kit to arrive in the lab well there aren't that many benchmark programs that only test RAM (or at least RAM and CPU without anything else coming into play) but I’ve got most of them and so you will be seeing results from following benchmarking programs, AIDA64 Engineer Edition, Cinebench Release 23, MaxMemm2, Passmark Performance Test v10.1, Sisoftware Sandra Titanium and WPrime v2.11. All tests are performed on a fresh Windows 10 Pro x64 installation (complete with all updates until the day of this review) and are repeated a total of 6 times after which the average numbers get recorded into the charts.

* Forza Horizon 5 is also used in DDR5 tests to showcase potential gains between stock and overclocked clocks/frequencies (1080p/Extreme Graphics). Still do keep in mind that I can't dedicate a high-end GPU solely for DDR5 reviews so each time I review such a kit I’ll be using a different chart (the card used will be listed above).

TEST RESULTS - XMP 3.0

CONCLUSION

    The G5 Python 32GB 8000MHz CL38 dual-channel kit by ANACOMDA performed extremely well during my tests so if it’s out of the box performance you’re looking for it should be more than plenty. Unfortunately, that doesn’t apply when it comes to overclocking headroom since even at 1.5V I was unable to hit even 8200MHz stable (which is why OC results were not included in this review). That might not have been the case with more voltage but at that point I never recommend going even higher (and the gains are not really worth the risk). As for looks not much to say here, if you’re looking for a white DDR5 kit the G5 Python is certainly worth checking out.

    Just like with previous kits by ANACOMDA availability is a serious issue once more and so at the time of this review I was unable to find this 32GB 8000MHz (MT/s) kit either in the USA or the EU. The MSRP however is currently set at USD249, a price tag which is more or less what you'd expect for one such DDR5 RAM kit. Overall the G5 Python 32GB 8000MHz dual-channel kit does deliver where it matters and for that it deserves the Golden Award.
