Package and its Contents
HP V10 RGB memory arrived in a retail package which is about the same size as the one of Acer Predator RAM reviewed a while ago. There are also more similarities because both memory series share the same manufacturer. Both tested memory kits also use about the same XMP profile of DDR4-3600 CL14-15-15 1.45V and work about the same on various platforms, including full support by popular RGB technologies and their vendors.
Inside of each box, we will find two 8GB memory modules that are well protected. The exterior is well described, so we clearly know what we are buying. On the other hand, I highly doubt that this product will be offered by stationary retailers. I assume it will be available mostly in popular online stores or directly from HP. Right now, it’s widely available at Amazon in about every country.
Memory modules are quite tall, so we have to remember about it if we have large CPU coolers. Most respectable cooler brands are prepared for that, but it’s still good to check before spending money.
The RGB works without issues on tested ASUS and MSI motherboards. It also synchronizes well with ADATA, Enermax, and other brand coolers. Colors and brightness are similar in all cases. On the other hand, Acer Predator looks more flashy, and its illumination is brighter. So it depends on the user which way is better as some users like slightly dimmed RGB.
Above are some photos of our ITX test PC. Small but with good airflow and nothing limits the overclocking or performance.
On the next page of this review, we will take a closer look at the test results.

Just got some go v10 rn I’m running 3733 14-14-14-34 at 1.515. Do you think I could do 1.6 daily and overclock some more safely? I’d say they cooling in my system is good with lots of fans and my gpu does not heat soak much
It should work fine at 1.6V, but I’m not sure if it’s worth running it at such a high voltage for barely any performance gain (out of benchmarks). It’s safe if RAM is not overheating, but it won’t give you a much higher frequency. Probably 1 or 2 memory ratios higher. 3733 CL14 is already great for gaming or anything else.
