Final Words & Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

The VColor XSky RGB Manta ROG 7000 CL36 kit offers users a really satisfying performance already out of the box. It looks attractive/clean, and there’s RGB lighting for the fans. The frequency range is extensive, from 6000 to 7200; we got the 7000 MHz variant. There’s a color selection (black and reviewed silver), but no other capacities than 2x16 GB kits are available.

Aesthetics

VColor has made the ROG Manta look clean/attractive. There’s RGB here. Overall, we’re satisfied with what VCOLOR MANTA ROG offers in that department, as the silver variant looks quite original (and shiny).

Tweaking

The memory chips used here come from Hynix, A-Die. As we usually state, the overclocking capabilities’ reproducibility is never guaranteed, and your results may vary. The reviewed kit –is already a decent performance out-of-the-box. It was possible to increase the frequency to 7600 MHz using the CL38-48-48-110 (it was stable), providing a nice performance difference. The heatsink is rather heavy, and it helps to limit the temperatures.

Conclusion

VColor Xsky Manta ROG is an interesting memory series. The stock performance is within the expected range (7000 MHz is an outstanding performer), and the Intel XMP 3.0 profile makes life easier (you also get the higher frequency XMP for the ROG motherboards). The relatively low-profile (but quite bulky and heavy, which helps reduce the temperatures) heat spreader (38 mm/1.496 inches), so you shouldn’t encounter clearance problems with more extensive air CPU coolers. Some headroom (tighter timings/more frequency) is still available, as we reached the 7600 MHz with CL38-48-48-110. 32 GB is becoming a standard even in gaming set-ups (for the DDR5 systems), also because of the introduction of the new RAM standard. The current price for the DDR5s is decreasing rapidly, thanks to the AM5 platform introduction. We want to give VColor Manta the “Guru3D Recommended” award for this kit as it’s (more than) fast enough out of the box. The temperature is relatively low, and the aluminum heat spreaders are very effective, even when the RAM is overclocked to 7600 MHz (which is an impressive result/gain). You get customizable RGB lighting. There are two color variants available, black and silver (that we’ve checked). What would you like more? There is practically nothing (except the lower price of 259.99 USD and the relatively poor availability). Also - the heatsink is a fingerprint and dust magnet. Besides that, it’s an attractive DDR5 kit, but the price is still the main downside of this standard (although the decrease is constantly visible).
