Test Rig
For our tests, we used our Test Rig which consists of an ASRock Z690 Taichi Razer Edition motherboard, along with an Intel Core i7-12700KF processor and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. Unfortunately, the motherboard used for this test was only able to run speeds of up to 6600 MHz, therefore all tests made with this set is according to 6600. However, in the future, I will make an updated review showing the results at 7200.
* ALL tests are conducted at specified default speeds and settings.

Installation
The installation of this module is extremely easy. All you need to do is line it up and push down until both sides click.
BIOS Setup
To change the ram frequency, you need to first go into BIOS, then go to Advanced Mode, OC Tweaker, DRAM Configuration, DRAM Frequency and then from here you can choose your desired frequency.
CPU-Z and SPD Information
As you can see from the CPU-Z screenshot, the ram supports both EXPO and XMP 3.0. The DRAM frequency is running at 3300 MHz which is correct for the default speed of DDR5-6600. The other thing you’ll notice is that the ram is now running in Quad channel mode.
Here’s a quick reason why … DDR5 gives you two 32-bit wide (40-bit wide, with ECC) channels per stick, which means that you get a quad-channel configuration when running two DIMMs.
AIDA64 Memory Information
The SPD information on AIDA64 shows that the ANACOMDA EryxTataricus RGB DDR5-7200 uses memory chips produced by SK Hynix, which are known to overclock very well. CAS lastency is reported at 42-40-40 on a voltage of 1.45V. High CAS latency speeds are to be expected when running DDR5 ram.
Full Load Temperatures
Load temps reached a high of 45 degrees Celsius which is surprisingly low. I was expecting something a little higher. The heatspreaders seems to be doing an excellent job of cooling the ram. So all good. During our tests, we didn’t encounter any issues whatsoever.
