How Much Does It Cost?
Coming in at around £90 or $110 on AliExpress, this kit isn’t the most expensive kit in the world. Compared to other DDR4 kits with the same capacity and speed, this falls below the prices of those other kits for the most part; there were other kits like the corsair vengeance RGB that were going for less in some listings.
Overview
This kit is well built, has a good quality feel to it and has a good looking design with very nice RGB. But overall, the results from testing this kit were disappointing, we didn’t see very good performance in any test we did. If you were able to get some overclocking out of your kit you might be able to make up some performance and end up with a much better value for your money.
Being as fair as possible, I need to point out how close the results were in all of our tests, we saw very little change between kits, so yes this performed the worst of our kits, but you are still getting performance that is close to what we see on the other kits.
The final nail in the coffin of value is the price to perfrmance. This kit isn’t the most expensive one on the market, but does that make it a good value? No, unfortunatly for the Valkyrie, at time of writing, there are better performing kits than this falling in price to similar or lower costs.
Should I Buy One?
Unless you really can’t live without this kit because the design is exactly what you are looking for, I would suggest looking into something else. As I said at the start of this review, this isn’t meant to be the best kit you’ve ever seen, it’s meant to be more budget-friendly, but with advancements in the industry, the cost of DDR4 is going down, and other kits that perform better have fallen to similar or better prices. This kit isn’t for anyone looking to get the most out of their money, but for looks? It might just be what you are looking for.
I might buy this!
