In terms of design, the T-FORCE XTREEM ARGB DDR5 features innovative dual-piece light pipes that emit soft and delicate light movements resembling aurora charm. It also supports various lighting control software, creating an extraordinary RGB visual feast and leading players on an unforgettable aurora journey. The product itself features a 2mm-thick forged aluminum alloy matte black heat spreader, exhibiting both the hardness and durability of basalt and the delicate texture of a black sand beach, perfectly showcasing the ultimate aesthetics of metal craftsmanship and achieving exquisite and unique computer equipment. The XTREEM ARGB DDR5 uses a 10-layer professional anti-interference optimized PCB board and improves the heat dissipation design of the PMIC power management chip to keep performance stable during high-speed data transmission, allowing gamers to enjoy a powerful and high-frame-rate gaming experience.

The world's leading memory module and flash memory brand, ADATA Technology’s e-sports brand XPG specializes in high-performance and stylishly designed e-sports products that cater to gamers, tech enthusiasts, and overclockers. High temperatures generated by high-speed overclocked gaming memory affects system stability, performance, and reliability. Therefore, XPG is leading the industry in applying PCB (printed circuit board) thermal coating technology to overclocked memory, effectively reducing temperatures by more than 10%. This new PCB thermal coating technology will be introduced in the second quarter on high-end overclocked DDR5 gaming memory with a clock speed of 8000MT/s or more, to ensure stable and efficient operation in this grade of memory.

Revolutionary heat dissipating coating effectively reduces temperatures by more than 10%
PCB heat dissipation adopts technology that integrates heat conduction, heat radiation, and insulation into an optimized solder mask which not only insulates, but also dissipates and conducts heat to achieve a superior cooling effect. Compared with standard overclocked DDR5 gaming memory heatsinks, this coating’s thermal radiation and heat dissipation effects greatly increase dissipation area and efficiency, slowing heat generation at high clock speeds. Real-world testing demonstrate a 8.5°C temperature reduction in overclocked DDR5 memory with PCB heat dissipating coating technology compared to standard overclocked memory and an enhanced heat dissipation efficiency of 10.8%. Users can enjoy extreme overclocking while maintaining high performance, meeting all challenges without compromise.
