These DDR5 RAM sticks have a built-in OLED

We have seen screens, be it OLED or LCDs, on mice, keyboards, CPU coolers, and even fans. Some are quite useful while others turn out to be gimmicks, but V-color and Gigabyte are hoping their world’s first DDR5 memory modules with built-in OLEDs are the former. The two companies have partnered for upgraded XFinity series memory modules that were first debuted at Computex earlier this year.

V-color and Gigabyte XFinity+ memory specifications and features

Marketed towards “overclockers, gamers, and DIY enthusiasts” the XFinity+ memory modules come in 32 GB, 48 GB, and 64 GB kits. They support both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles with speeds up to 9,066 MT/s for Intel and 9,000 MT/s for AMD. The latter gets slightly better timings with as low as CL26 modules (only with 32 GB kit) while the former gets CL38 modules. These kits will include one OLED display module paired with one standard module, which makes sense since only one of them will be fully visible. The companies also have plans of bringing four module kits where there will be two actual modules and two RGB filler modules.

As for the OLED screen, it is a small rectangular display on the right side of the module and it can show real-time values for memory profile (Intel/AMD), memory capacity, speed, timings, voltage, and temperature. The modules will be able to show all the information even during POST without having to enter the OS. With Gigabyte motherboards, these DDR5 modules will work without any additional connectors or cables.

It is unclear if the display will work with other motherboards, and if so, whether they will require additional connectors. Of course, the modules have RGB lighting as well that can be customized through Gigabyte Control Center.

Price and availability

XFinity+ will be available in both black and white colors. V-color has not shared pricing for the kits yet but mass production will commence in Q3 2025. They will initially be exclusively available via Newegg and then have a broader release through Amazon, the v-color website, and other channels.
