Predator Vesta RGB DDR4 32GB 3600MHz Memory Review

A Closer Look

They say first impressions go a long way, and thankfully for Predator, the Vesata RGB makes a great one. These modules look absolutely gorgeous! The heat sinks are enormous, but not really any bigger than other large heatsink modules I’ve seen from other brands, which is a good thing, as while bigger is better for cooling, they only need to be soo big before getting too silly.

The quality of the finish is exceptional too, they look like cast or sandblasted aluminium with a nice texture to them, but they actually feel a lot smoother to the touch than they look. They must be coated with something too, as a texture like this normally gives a more matte finish.

However, these look really, much like there’s a little bit of glitter and polish to them, which I like. It’s a good surface, with a nice soft and premium-looking finish to the metal.

Of course, they’re still heatsinks, so all the metal and surface area is going to help dissipate heat away from the ICs even more efficiently. There are some ridges that run the length of each DIMM on each side, further increasing the surface area.

The modules are quite thick, so spaces between modules will be slim. However, that does afford a nice and thick lightbar on the spine.

The bar also slips down next to the Predator logo here and there’s quite a bit showing on each end also.

Overall, the branding is kept minimal, although Vesta would have done just fine, as printing RGB on there seems redundant given then… well, the BIG FREAKING RGB LIGHT BAR AT THE TOP… just saying. But honestly, thumbs up for the fairly minimal and stylish branding overall.

Even the little serial number sticker is a big smarter than some of the cheap labels I so often see.
