Introduction
Here, not too long before the launch of the new DDR4 RAM, ADATA has joined the fray with some really delicious DDR3 RAM with a clock frequency of no less than 2933 MHz. Some quick specs are mentioned below.
Specifications
· High profile
· Clock frequency of 2933 MHz
· Dual Channel
· Voltage at 1.65V
· Clock Latency of 12-14-14-36
· Replaceable heatsink (Red and Gold)
· Lifetime warranty

Test Setup
For comparison,
Unfortunately, due to my bad chip controller ram modules are not booting up @stock clocks of 2933Mhz and max stable clock obtained is 2860mhz in dual channel configuration.
All tests are made with the given clock frequencies of 2860mhz, 2800mhz, 2666mhz and the DRAM Voltage@1.65v with timing 0f 12-14-14-36-2t set in the BIOS.
MaxxMem Benchmark
Aida64 Benchmark
Sisoftware Sandra Bandwidth
Wprime 32M
Super Pi 1M
Overall, the two types of RAM are very similar. Since CL is somewhat higher in ADATA- than it is at Kingston modules there is a discrepancy here. But one thing is certain ADATA XPG V3 2933 MHz DDR3 modules are some seriously fast RAM that can handle most tasks very quickly that we can find to throw at them .
Conclusion
Now coming to final thoughts of these delicious DDR3 modules from ADATA, and it is as always therefore been time to gather all my thoughts in an overall conclusion. I will therefore immediately embark on.
The wrapping was so much enterprise segmented, when you consider the minimal plastic form, they came in, with a happily Easy-Open solution on the back. So, minimal packaging and not a lot of extra, and often actually pretty indifferent, frills.
The build quality is steeped in maximum quality. The modules weighted really well spent extra metal for the manufacture of Heatsinks, DRAM modules have direct contact with the Heatsinks. ADATA has just made a PCB consisting of no less than eight layers. They are suitable probably best in machines to be used for heavy editing or rendering work with the massive bandwidth they are for the day.
The performance of Adata Ram kits is good. However, modules use 1.65V as opposed to the more common 1.5V modules, we usually see. The only thing I could perhaps have liked to see was a lower CL (Clock Latency).
The design is really cool and I absolutely love the exchangeable Heatsinks. Which furthermore also was extremely easy to replace. Overall some extremely delicious DDR3 modules with good performance, which I could recommend. Not just because they deliver some good results, but also because they will look exceptionally good in a show build.
Good:
Cool design
Interchangeable Heatsinks
Good performance
2933 MHz clock frequency
Direct contact between the heatsink and DRAM modules
Bad:
Clock Latency is little high
High voltage

Specially Thanks to ADATA for providing the sample.
