Product overview

Released on May 11, 2021, this kit is part of PNY’s XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4 line. It’s a 16GB (2x8GB) dual‑channel set rated for 4000 MT/s with an Intel XMP 2.0 profile at CL18 and 1.35V, wrapped in an RGB heat spreader. Positioned in the high_end tier for DDR4, it exists for builders who want higher-than-mainstream DDR4 speeds without chasing extreme showpiece kits. In practice it’s best for gaming and creator rigs that favor quick scratch workloads and high clocks, particularly on Intel boards where XMP is easily enabled. The 2x8GB layout suits lean gaming setups while leaving two slots open for future expansion.
