After trying out the XPOWER Turbine DDR4 32GB 2666MHz memory kit from Silicon Power, it is now time to look at the RGB-enhanced model as well. The Turbine RGB kits can be had with 8GB, 16GB or 32GB capacities, while the operating speeds are available from 3200MHz and up to 4133Mhz. The 32GB kit we are going to review in this article comes with C16 latencies and is composed from two separate 16GB memory modules. These modules are Intel XMP enabled and while Silicon Power does not offer a separate application for configuring the RGB effects, these are compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync but also ASROCK’s Polychrome Sync.
The kit is shipped inside a very compact cardboard enclosure, with a small window, so the potential customers can check out the design of the heatspreader before purchase:
Some more details can be checked out on the back, including addresses of the service centers:
The RGB version of the XPOWER Turbine does no longer come with a blue heatspreader, but now Silicon Power has opted for gunmetal brushed aluminum:
The heatspreader shares the design elements with the previous model and in the middle, we can spot a large sticker with the product logo:
The opposite side looks about the same, only now a separate sticker is pre-applied as well:
Here we will find information such as the module code name, running frequency, CAS latency but also the serial number and total capacity:
On the top area, we will find an element that was missing on the regular, non-RGB lit model: an opaque plastic layer with the XPOWER logo in the middle, which helps with light distribution (other manufacturers call it a light bar):
After installing the modules in our testbench, the RGB lighting became active:
