ADATA is finally bringing RGB lighting to their XPG DDR4 memory lineup. Memory modules were some of the very last components allowing for RGB lighting, since it can be quite tricky to control the color on the DIMMs. At the moment it’s still unclear which models ADATA will release. Since the non-RGB lineup consists of several models with different clock speeds, we expect to see something similar in the case of the XPG SPECTRIX D40 RGB series.


According to ADATA, all the new memory kits are compatible with Intel’s X299 chipset and Skylake-X CPUs as well as with AMD’s 300 series based motherboards as well as Ryzen processors. The lighting is controlled through ASUS’s Aura Sync software and there are no wires to connect. The software allows the user to change the settings with just a few clicks. The ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D40 RGB can be set to different modes like for example a base color. Apart from that it’s possible to cycle through colors or to link the color to the system temperature.

So far ADATA has not revealed any details on pricing and availability, but we’re sure those kits are soon going to surface in the different price comparison portals all around the globe. As we already mentioned there is also no word on the clock speeds of the different kits which are about to be launched. Since ADATA already has quite a few models in its portfolio everything between DDR4-2666 and DDR4-4000 would theoretically be possible.
