A Closer Look
As you can see, we’ve got the white variant of this memory, but as you can see on the box, there’s a silver and black version also available. That’s fine with me though, I think white memory is the best option when deploying ARGB lighting, as I think it looks more vibrant and interesting, but hey, at least you have a few options.
A lot is going on with the design here, with a honeycomb graphic on the side that fades at the edges, there are these two straight lines each with a 45-degree angle that creates all these ridges and shapes along the top and the bottom right corner, and there’s the ARGB light bar that runs down the spine, but it exposed between the aluminium in a few sections along the sides too.
One noticeable thing is the size, they’re quite tall memory kits, but that’s a good thing for cooling, as it means there’s significantly more surface area to provide additional cooling, allowing it to maintain those 8000 MHz speeds. However, with them being taller, they’ll likely conflict with some larger air coolers, so be sure to measure up your clearances if you’re going down that route.
The RGB is stunning, with vibrant colours throughout. There are eight independent lighting areas in each DIMM, which can deliver the usual full range of 16.8 million colour values, and there are more than ten effects built in giving you transitions, fades, and colour loops as you might expect.
