Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith DDR4 32GB 3200MHz Gaming Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2021-08-09

The mainstream XPOWER Zenith 3200MHz C16 32GB memory kit from Silicon Power offers enough performance and memory quantity for the majority of tasks, while the non-RGB design can go hand-in-hand with systems that do not have a plexiglass/glass lateral panel. The heatsink layout is the same as with the RGB version, with the wavy brushed aluminum styling but also the top plastic light component (but this time the LEDs are missing).

Here is the memory operating status as confirmed by CPU-Z:

Besides testing the memory modules at XMP timings, we have also compared the results with the ones obtained at 2133, 2400, 2666 and 3000. Afterwards, we tried a bit of overclocking by first setting a frequency of 3300 and while using the stock timings; we got errors in TM5 so the next step was to leave the motherboard choose the optimal timings for this particular speed. The 17-19-19-43 setting was fully stable, confirmed by TM5 testing as well. Booting at higher speeds was a no-go:
