PNY launches XLR8 extreme performance gaming DDR5 desktop memory in A/NZ

PNY Technologies, is now making an even bigger push into local markets by launching their highly acclaimed, extreme performance XLR8 Gaming and Performance DDR5 Desktop Memory into Australia and New Zealand.

The new models include the MAKO DDR5 6000MHz Desktop Memory and the MAKO DDR5 6200MHz Desktop Memory. PNY’s DDR5 MAKO low profile desktop memory offers the greatest amount of headroom of all the overclocked memory in the line-up as the modules are only 32mm tall.

PNY product manager, Kevin Chang explained, “PNY have made a serious commitment to Australia and New Zealand in terms of launching new products such as the new PNY XLR8 Gaming and Performance DDR5 Desktop Memory. These exciting new products provide a dynamic, extreme performance experience for gamers, modders and enthusiasts alike. The new modules also provide a superior computing experience thanks to the aggressive overclocking, heat spreader and XMP 3.0 support, delivering PNY’s fastest speeds, highest bandwidth and lowest latencies. These, in turn, maximise PC stability and responsiveness during memory-intensive gaming and application use.”

XLR8 DDR5 6200MHz MAKO Low profile Desktop Memory
• Low profile design, ideal for PC enthusiasts and gamers in systems with limited space
• Backwards compatible with lower frequencies: 6000MHz, 5600MHz, 5200MHz, 4800MHz
• Supports on-die ECC debugging of self-correcting DRAM data for greater stability
• CAS Latency of 42, 1.3V, XMP 3.0 support
• Capacities – 16GB and 32GB (2 x 16GB)

The new XLR8 Gaming MAKO modules have been designed to meet the needs of gamers and enthusiasts. The designs for both modules feature aluminium heat spreaders with elements inspired by the powerful, fast and aggressive Mako shark from which they get their name.

An XLR8 logo and GAMING text is proudly emblazoned on the side of the modules and silver angled relief lines are machined into the heat spreader to reflect other components’ lighting and provide extra flair and style.

PNY is continually developing solutions for all PC users to improve their computing experience and their latest DDR5 models bring that to another level. PC users looking to upgrade to DDR5, but don’t require the additional flair or out-of-the-box overclocking, aluminium heat spreader or RGB illumination of the Mako line, the PNY Performance DDR5 is a great upgrade that takes advantage of the latest in DRAM technology.

PNY has been rigorously testing these modules with its motherboard partners, including ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI, to ensure the most extensive compatibility and aggressive overclocking possible.

As all models are compatible with Intel® XMP 3.0, XLR8 Gaming MAKO is able to deliver extreme overclocking and allows users to easily get the most out of their MAKO DDR5 modules.

Top-tier components and select ICs combine to deliver aggressive speed, low latency and the bullet-proof reliability gamers and enthusiasts rely on PNY for.

With the announcement of Intel Alder Lake CPUs, DDR5 will soon become the standard for gamers, enthusiasts and modders for creating the best computing experience.

Additional CPU manufacturers are expected to release processors with DDR5 support throughout 2022.
