Powerful RAM with Overclocking Capabilities

SPARK RGB DDR4 modules are available in kits ranging from 16GB (2x8GB) up to 64GB (4x16GB) with the top-end models running at 4133MHz. Overclocking is made simple with XMP 2.0 support allowing users to select their preferred profile for stable and reliable overclocking.

Effective Heatsinking

The built-in aluminum alloy heatsink allows for rapid and effective heat dissipation, even during overclocking, allowing each module to remain cool to maximize performance and stability. In keeping with ZADAK’s commitment to craftsmanship and original design, the module is capped with a brushed aluminum ‘crown’ complete with a jewel-shaped RGB-lit cutout in the center. This unusual design makes the SPARK RGB DDR4 stand out from the crowd giving a more refined feel to the RGB lighting.

Dynamic Multi-Zone RGB

The jewel is the finishing touch on the five sections of the Dynamic Multi-Zone RGB lighting. With RGB zones also along the top, upper sides and upper corners, ZADAK has moved ambient lighting into a new realm. With a respectable 8 customizable lighting modes; Static, Breathing, Color Cycle, Rainbow, Comet, Flash, Wave, and Strobing, enthusiasts can easily take advantage of the vibrant and rich colors to put on a superb light show or simply enhance their gaming environment.

SPARK RGB DDR4 has full compatibility with Razer Chroma, Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, AsRock Polychrome Sync and Gigabyte RGB Fusion allowing users to control the RGB lighting, brightness and patterns with a wide range of motherboard software including the propriety ZArsenal RGB from ZADAK.

 Motherboard Compatibility

Firmly keeping their users’ needs in mind ZADAK’s SPARK RGB DDR4 is compatible with Intel Z390 and AMD Ryzen platforms. Furthermore, ZADAK is a qualified partner of Asus, AsRock, MSI, Gigabyte, and Razer.

Enough with the marketing stuff – let’s check what we have on the table. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die. According to the program, the chips under the “hood” are the Samsung B-Die (in the 20nm process with "Boltzmann" added there). Will that enable some overclocking – we’ll see on the next pages. You can see here that the manufacturer of a module is Apacer Technology.

The chips are covered with a heatsink to ensure that the memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance. You put the sticks in, enable the XMP profile (which is, in fact, the industry standard and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with some photo-shooting first, and then move on to the practical part (benchmark/games).
