The V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5-6400 C32 isn't something to sneeze at and easily competes with some of the best RAM. Many mini-ITX and microATX motherboards have only two memory slots, a limitation that has long frustrated small-form-factor (SFF) builders. However, the introduction of DDR5 technology and new 64GB modules has transformed the landscape. SFF enthusiasts can now pack 128GB into dual-DIMM motherboards, transforming compact systems into powerhouses capable of handling demanding workloads and multitasking.

V-Color’s Manta Xfinity RGB memory modules come equipped with a sleek aluminum heat spreader, available in black or, depending on the SKU, white. The 1.5mm-thick heat spreader not only improves heat dissipation but also adds a modern touch with its geometric groove design. This minimalist look emphasizes both function and style. The memory modules stand at 1.69 inches (43mm) tall, ensuring broad compatibility with most systems. However, if you use a giant CPU air cooler, it’s wise to double-check your available clearance space before you pull the trigger.
Like many enthusiast kits, the Manta Xfinity RGB modules feature a semi-transparent light bar housing 16 vibrant LEDs for stunning lighting effects. V-Color doesn’t provide proprietary software for lighting control, which simplifies installation and setup. The company lists Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync, and Biostar RGB Sync as compatible ecosystems.

Unsurprisingly, the 64GB memory modules utilize a dual-rank design, featuring integrated circuits (ICs) on both sides of the black PCB. Each module contains 16 ICs in total, each with a 4GB capacity, arranged in two groups of eight on either side. These ICs are H5CG58MHBDX051 (M-die) from SK hynix, while the 0P=BH 3YM power management IC (PMIC) points to Richtek.
When first installed, the memory modules will operate at DDR5-4800 with 40-39-39-77 timings. The kit provides only AMD EXPO support with a single available profile. This profile sets the modules to DDR5-6400 with 32-45-45-96 timings and a DRAM voltage of 1.4V.
