XPG CASTER DDR5 6000 Review

Specs and Test Configuration

Looking below we can see that the XPG CASTER kit is similar in specification to several other DDR5 6000 kits using the same ICs. Worth noting as well that, the PMIC on this DRAM kits supports additional voltages so there’s no need for motherboard specific work arounds as we had when DDR5 was initially introduced.

Test Configuration

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7900X
  • GIGABYTE B650E AORUS MASTER
  • ROG STRIX Radeon RX6800
  • Hynix Gen3 1TB M.2 SSD
  • Windows 11 x64 (22H2)

While some testing was done on the INTEL Z790 platform. The DRAM set is mainly for the AMD DDR5 platform and as such the B650E AORUS MASTER was the board of choice, including some basic testing on the ASRock B650E STEEL LEGEND WIFI.
