A-Data Releases Wicked Looking Tri-Channel DDR3-2133X Kit

Enthusiasts looking to piece together a high end system probably don't even have A-Data on their radar, a company best known for offering budget priced modules designed for general purpose computing. Perhaps looking to make new friends among overclocking circles, A-Data this week launched its XPG DDR3-2133X v2.0 memory in both dual- and tri-channel form. As a tri-channel kit, DDR3-2133 ranks as the highest frequency currently available. Even more impressive, it's available in both 3GB (3x1GB) and 6GB (3x2GB) configurations, not just 3GB. It looks as though some concessions have to be made in order to reach 2133MHz in tri-channel form, as both kits run comparatively loose at 10-10-10-30 and require between 2.05V - 2.15V. In order to accommodate the high voltage requirement, the new kit comes with a dual-fan heatsink for active cooling. The dual-fan cooler also adds a touch of bling with a pair of blue LEDs.
