Product overview

PNY introduced this XLR8 Gaming EPIC‑X RGB DDR4‑4400 16GB (2×8GB) kit (MD16GK2D4440019XRGB) on July 15, 2021 as part of its EPIC‑X RGB DDR4 lineup. It’s an Intel XMP 2.0 kit rated 4400 MT/s at CL19 and 1.45 V, with RGB lighting that syncs with ASUS Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock Polychrome.

Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it exists for builders chasing high‑frequency DDR4 with dual‑module simplicity. The 2×8GB layout is a clean dual‑channel fit for gaming rigs, and the modules can fall back to common speeds (3600–4000 MT/s and below) if platform limits require. Best suited to Intel boards that enable XMP; the 16GB capacity favors gaming over heavier content workloads.
