Packaging


The XPG Caster RGB DDR5-6400 packaging is easily identified because of the distinct reddish orange hue ADATA uses for its XPG branding. When it comes to the production details, the packaging provides all the information to make an informed decision on the spot.
At the top are the RGB badges showing official support for ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

Across the bottom is further information about the type of memory, module densities, and configuration, along with the operational frequency the XMP profile provides. XPG even put in the extra effort to list the PC5 rating for those who want to get technical. It is rarely listed on the box. The only mishap here is that the memory is technically operating at 3200 MHz. This is a common mistake, or, rather, nobody is bothering to correct the well-established incorrect way of marketing memory frequencies. Acceptable alternatives would be 6400 MT/s or DDR5-6400. It doesn't help that companies like ASUS (a major motherboard vendor) embrace this mislabeling in the BIOS as well, thus making the transition to the correct naming format a challenge for memory manufacturers from even a customer technical support perspective.

Lastly, if you flip the box around, the SKU number, timings, and operating voltage can be seen through the cutout. If you are still looking for more information, a QR code can be used to access extra details about the XPG Caster RGB DDR5-6400 memory kit.


Removing the memory from the box only requires cutting some tape—the memory sticks are secured and protected from minor damage with a clamshell inside the outer box.
