DDR5 RAM with OLED Display Shows Specs and Vitals
▼ Summary
– V-Color has launched its XFinity+ memory kits featuring a built-in OLED display that shows real-time specifications without requiring extra connectors.
– The OLED display communicates directly with the motherboard to show data like memory profile, capacity, speed, timings, voltage, or temperature during POST.
– Intel-compatible kits support data rates from DDR5-8200 to DDR5-9066 with CL timings of 38–42 and capacities of 32GB, 48GB, or 64GB.
– AMD-compatible kits include options up to DDR5-9000 with CL42 and 48GB capacity, as well as DDR5-6000 kits with tighter CL26–30 timings in 32GB capacity.
– The memory kits will be available in black or white, with mass production starting in Q3 and initial sales exclusive to Newegg before wider distribution.
V-Color has officially launched its XFinity+ DDR5 memory kits, a groundbreaking addition to the high-performance RAM market that made its debut at this year’s Computex. These modules stand out with an integrated OLED screen that provides real-time visibility into system specifications and performance metrics, offering users an unprecedented level of insight directly from their memory hardware.
Developed in close collaboration with Gigabyte, the XFinity+ modules feature a display that operates without any extra cables or connectors. V-Color has revealed that the screen communicates directly with the motherboard to pull system data, though the company has kept technical specifics under wraps. It’s likely that a dedicated controller embedded within the module handles data retrieval and display functions. This implementation is protected under Patent M664715 and remains active even during the POST sequence, reinforcing its integrated design.
Unlike many competing products that emphasize flashy RGB customizations or user-generated content, the XFinity+ display focuses purely on functional metrics. V-Color confirms that the OLED panel cannot be customized to show GIFs or other media; instead, it strictly monitors memory-related parameters. These include active profiles (Intel XMP or AMD EXPO), capacity, operating speed, timings, voltage, and temperature. The accompanying ARGB lighting, however, can be personalized using V-Color’s proprietary software.
A full breakdown of available XFinity+ configurations reveals a strong focus on both Intel and AMD platforms. Intel-compatible kits will support data rates from DDR5-8200 up to an impressive DDR5-9066, with CAS latencies between CL38 and CL42. The DDR5-8200 variant also carries Intel 200S Boost certification and will ship at CL40. These kits will be offered in 32GB, 48GB, and 64GB capacities, all with XMP support.
For AMD users, V-Color is preparing high-speed kits capable of reaching DDR5-9000, with a flagship 48GB model running at CL42. A DDR5-8000 SKU will be available at CL40 across 32GB, 48GB, and 64GB capacities. Users prioritizing low latency over raw speed can opt for DDR5-6000 kits with tight timings of CL26, CL28, or CL30, though these are limited to 32GB.
The XFinity+ memory will be offered in both black and white color options. Initial releases will include one module with the OLED display paired with a standard DIMM. Later, V-Color plans to introduce SCC 2+2 kits that bundle the display-equipped module with RGB filler units for a uniform aesthetic.
Pricing and availability details remain undisclosed, but mass production is slated to begin in the third quarter of this year. The first wave of kits will be exclusive to Newegg, with subsequent availability through V-Color’s online store, Amazon, and authorized global distributors.
