The tested memory kit is rated at DDR5-6000 and uses EXPO and XMP profiles at CL30-38-38 1.35V. The regular SPD profile has 1.10V. The 64GB total capacity is perfect for the most demanding games with multiple web browser tabs open and additional software in the background. It’s also future-proof. 32GB memory modules are also dual-rank, so they are faster than 16/24GB modules. In most applications, it doesn’t matter much, but in some, we can expect a few percent higher results.

DDR5 is mature enough that most available motherboards don’t have problems with RAM compatibility. The XPOWER Storm works perfectly with all motherboards we use in redaction and overclocks above the rated specifications. However, due to the memory controller limitations, the 6000-6400MT/s range is optimal for AMD Ryzen processors and the latest AMD chipsets. I recommend 7200MT/s+ kits for Intel chipsets, as the XPOWER Storm is also available at higher frequencies. Silicon Power also released its first CUDIMM kits, which we hope to review in the upcoming weeks.
Below is the list of timings at the XMP-6000 profile on one of our test rigs. It’s an Intel-based motherboard, as we checked multiple motherboards for compatibility. The EXPO profile is about the same.
All our motherboards with the recent BIOS have had no problems with stability or compatibility. Below is an AIDA64 Stability Test. We can use various other stability tests. It’s still good to perform additional tests if we are overclocking to ensure the RAM is stable across multiple test patterns.
The memory kit provides quite tight timings out of the box. We can go down to CL28, but it won’t affect the performance. The EXPO profile used in this review is optimal for whatever we will do on the latest AMD platform.
We will look closer at the package and memory modules on the next page.
