The Spark RGB memory kit has one EXPO/XMP profile at DDR5-6000 and primary timings of 40-40-40-96. The profile has a programmed voltage of 1.25V VDD/VDDQ. AMD motherboards usually have the option to choose XMP or EXPO profiles, and we can expect that both profiles will give us precisely the same results. EXPO certification only guarantees it will run at higher frequencies on AMD chipsets, while it’s not always obvious as single timings can make a big difference in stability.

We can count that under the heat sinks will be Hynix or Samsung IC. In our kit, there is Samsung B-die, which is a bit worse for overclocking than Hynix but still can show some excellent results.

The XMP has quite relaxed timings but also low voltage, which causes the RAM to run at temperatures below 60°C under load. Even after overclocking, the temperatures are quite low compared to some competitive memory kits. 1.45V will give us 65-66°C, which is still acceptable for longer work. I’m sure that ZADAK could tighten the timings some more, but I understand that stability in various conditions is more important.

Below you can see a timings list that can read ASUS Mem TweakIt.

The tested memory kit has no problems with stability on ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI motherboards with Intel Z790, AMD B650E, and X670E chipsets. We decided to use Gigabyte B650E AORUS Master for this review because this is one of the first memory kits that supports EXPO profiles. Another reason is that the used Samsung IC is not capable of running at very high frequency, while AMD works best at anything between 6000-6400MT/s.

Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 System Stability Test. As you can see, there are no problems with stability. The memory kit passed multiple other tests, so there was no need to keep the stability test for much longer.

So far, so good. Now let’s take a look at the product itself.
