Introducing the XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 memory. The kit comes in a 32GB kit package with 2 sticks of 16GB 6000 MT/s PC5-48000. Packaging shows the compatibility badges at top (AMD EXPO Memory Overclocking Profile, Intel XMP3.0, ASUS Aura Sync, RGB Fusion2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync and Asrock Polychrome Sync), XPG character at the bottom beside the product description and kit specification.
Looks
The XPG Lancer DIMM designs feature an RGB Light bar at top and a brushed metal design on the heat spreaders at its side. DDR5 indicator on the top-left corner and XPG badge at the bottom-right. The XPG Lancer DDR5 comes in 2 colorways, Black and White. The RGB lightbar is bright enough to get noticed during daylight and stunningly eye-catching in the dark. The kit sent to us for product testing is the Black variant which makes the DIMMs low-key when the RGB lighting is off and definitely eye-catching when the RGB lights kick in. We tested it with the Asus Aura Sync on our test bench and it was smooth and easy to play with the lighting setup.
Performance
The performance of the XPG Lancer 16GBx2 PC5-48000 kit is promising. 32GB of quick access RAM enables any personal computer to be extra responsive and highly capable of multitasking, plus the capability of pushing this kit to 6000 MT/s will make multi-tasking much easier for the end-users.
What’s more amazing is that SK Hynix A Die chip is used on these DIMMS which promises to perform above par on-stock or on overclock. The memory kit that we have on hand has a CAS latency of 30-40-40 at 1.35 Volts, It means that a lower CAS latency would allow this DIMM kit to perform better than kits with higher CAS latency 40-40-40.

Here are some screencaps that we took during our product test:
Tests show that there’s not much of a difference when comparing the XPG Lancer DDR5 CL40 to CL30. Thus, if you are on the market to get your first DDR5 kit, one should get the CL30 variant.
Activating the XMP setting on the XPG Lancer DDR5 memory assures you to take advantage of that extra juice guaranteed right out of the box.
For the enthusiast, I believe they would enjoy tweaking the setting on the BIOS to reach the apex of each XPG Lancer memory stick as these sticks come with SK Hynix A-Die which is highly reputable and durable that comes in handy while overclocking. XPG Lancer DDR5 also has an on-die Error Correcting Code (ECC), which allows the module to correct errors automatically in real-time.
Local Price & Product Warranty
The XPG Lancer DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 is available for a competitive price of P8,260.00 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
In Conclusion, the XPG Lancer DDR5 Memory is a good option to dive into the new technology of DDR5 memory. The RGB Compatibility is great as it is seamless with Asus Aura, Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and Asrock Polychrome Sync. The XPG Lancer DDR5 Memory is best for overclocking due to its CAS latency of 30 and its SK hynix A-Die.
