Predator Apollo DDR4 RGB 32GB 4000 MHz Review

A Closer Look
First impressions go a long way, and I think it’s safe to say the Apollo RGB RAM makes a solid first impression. These look and feel like premium quality products from the moment they’re taken out of the box.
They’re a little on the chunky side, but that’s because they have a 1.1mm aluminium heatsink design that’s really adding to their bulk. That’s a nice thing from an aesthetics perspective, as the heat spreader looks stunning. However, it will also ensure the memory performs better, but giving it more cooling potential; handy when running at 4000MHz!
There’s quite a mixture of surfaces and finishes here. The top silver section is like a sand-cast aluminium with a glossy Predator logo here.
Then you have a three part mirror finish section that matches the shiny logo.
The words Apollo RGB are also in a chromed finish, giving it quite a bit of shine overall.
There’s also this matte black thick aluminium section, which has many grooves cut into it, further increasing the overall surface area of the heatsink.
Then that’s all mounted over a black PCB with gold traces.
Of course, it’s pretty much the same design on the other side, however, the words Apollo RGB are only on the one side.
There’s more going on here, of course. There’s a large section of milky coloured plastic that houses all of the RGB tech. You can see from the side view, it’s pretty thick, so you’ll get a lot of RGB surface area here.
Plus, it runs uninterrupted along the spine, with just a little bit of metal folded over at the middle section, along with a Predator logo here.
As you can see, the RGB is pretty stunning.
There’s all the usual range of colours and effects.
Of course, if you leave it at default, it’ll just give you the usual rainbow disco, which does look pretty slick.
