PNY has announced new DDR5 desktop memory options for gamers: the new XLR8 Gaming DDR5 and XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR5 modules. Sporting a new heat spreader design for enhanced performance, both support Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO overclocking, with speeds ranging from 5600MHz to 6400MHz and a CAS latency of 36.

The big difference between the two variants is that the low-profile PNY XLR8 Gaming DDR5 modules don’t have any RGB, just a matte black finish. The PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR5 modules add a vibrant light strip to the top of the module that can sync up with all your other lighting for a more colorful build.
Although they’re not the fastest kits on the market, these new XLR8 Gaming 32GB Kits (2x16GB) are built with high-quality components and premium ICs and are tuned for low-latency performance. PNY notes in the announcement that it has tested these new modules extensively on motherboards from ASRock, ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI.
