addlink addGame Spider X4 RGB DDR4-3600 2x 8 GB

[ir_cow]

addlink is a fairly young player in the DRAM market, but their Spider X4 line of memory looks very promising. Today we're reviewing the DDR4-3600 version, which sits at the sweet spot between price and performance and has tons of OC potential in it. Priced at $85 for the 16 GB kit it's super affordable, too.

I actually bought the Addlink DDR4 kit when it first came out for my Z690 board, the performance was almost exactly the same as my Acer Predator 3600 CL16 kit in Aida64 Extreme with slightly slower latency. Read over 56K, write and copy over 53K with the Addlink running at XMP 3600mhz. I was able to get it to run at CL16 timings while staying at 1.35V.

Amazing performance and beautiful heatsinks, shame the RGB implementation is poor. If you really want value and much better RGB implementation than this kit, go with Timetec Pinnacle Konduit RGB 3600mhz kit. Best deal out there right now!

I really don't know if I would call 8x2 3600@18-22-22-42 at 85$ "value" as I've seen 16x2 3600@18-22-22-42 for around 100-110$ multiple times and I've seen 8x2 3600@18-22-22-42 for 70$~ and 8x2 3600@16-18-18-36 goes for 80-90$ regularly.
And right now there's a bdie 8x2 3600@14-16-16-36 for 105$... Though competition I guess? Seems to overclock well to high frequencies so at least that

djr is usually reserved for high MT/s, seeing it on a 3600-c18 kit is actually quite a (welcome) surprise. it cant really time for shit, but it's great for frequencies as this review shows. $80 for 2x8 of djr isn't the worst way you can spend the money by any means so
