V-Color installs screens on memory devices
Light Up Your Gaming Rig with V-Color's Xfinity Manta DDR5 DIMMs
Flashy and functional, V-Color's Xfinity Manta memory modules are set to redefine your PC gaming experience
ńskakers of memory modules have been outdoing each other for quite some time now, aiming to steal the spotlight with innovative features and impressive performance. V-Color, a company typically associated with workstation-grade memory, has surprised the scene with an extraordinary offering: DDR5 DIMMs equipped with programmable LCD screens for the ultimate aesthetic and functional upgrade for gaming enthusiasts.
Introduced at Computex, these flashy memory modules feature an LCD screen that displays crucial information such as capacity, speed bin, temperature, and voltage. The screen, controlled by V-Color's app, is adaptable and customizable, capable of showcasing a wide array of valuable data to users.
For instance, at Computex, these showstoppers displayed whether Intel's Core Ultra 2000-series had enabled its 200S boost mode. Don't confuse the black bars on the screens with failure; they're simply a result of the refresh rates.
While the display is housed on one side of the module, losing potential space for memory chips, V-Color has managed to produce 24GB dual-channel kits with screens. Thus far, they've unveiled a couple of such kits capable of delivering a massive 48GB of memory, which should satisfy the needs of most avid gamers and modding enthusiasts for the time being.
The eye-catching appeal of these Xfinity Manta modules doesn't stop there. They also boast sleek, aluminum heat spreaders, adorned with programmable RGB LEDs to enhance their visual appeal further.
Another intriguing feature of V-Color's Xfinity Manta modules is the inclusion of additional RGB LED 'filler' modules in some dual-channel kits. These fillers may not contain memory chips, but they add to the overall aesthetic, making your system look more complete.
As of now, V-Color's Xfinity Manta memory modules with displays are still prototypes, yet the company plans to bring them to market later this year, compatible with both AMD and Intel platforms. With the additional cost associated with the LCD screens, enthusiasts might be willing to pay extra for this unique and eye-catching feature.
In the ever-evolving market of enthusiast-grade memory modules, V-Color seems to be innovating ahead of the pack, pushing the boundaries with its DIMMs that stand out both in terms of speed (up to DDR5-8600 for some variants) and functionality.
