Product overview

Released on July 19, 2021, PNY’s XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4 4600 kit (MD16GK2D4460019XRGB) is a 16GB (2x8GB) dual‑channel set in the EPIC‑X RGB DDR4 family. It targets Intel platforms via XMP 2.0 and is specified for 4600 MT/s at CL19 and 1.5 V.

Tier: enthusiast — it exists to push DDR4 frequencies well beyond mainstream 3200–3600 for users chasing peak memory clocks with synced RGB lighting. It’s genuinely good for gaming‑focused Intel builds that can enable XMP; 16GB suits competitive titles, light content work, and compact RGB rigs. Unique: unusually high 1.5 V XMP for DDR4‑4600; enable XMP and consult your motherboard QVL to reach the rated speed. Discontinued status is not confirmed.
