Galax Shows off its Gamer RGB DDR5 Modules

DIMM designs by the various DRAM module manufacturers are always something of a personal taste thing and then there's the polarising issue of RGB or not. Well, it looks like Galax has worked on something special for its upcoming Gamer RGB DDR5 modules that is likely to cause mixed reactions, but we have a feeling they'll potentially be popular with younger gamers.

The new modules are expected to come in kits of two, ranging in size from 16 to 64 GB, with the 32 GB kit launching first. These are merely 4800 MHz modules, so there's not too much to get excited about there and no timings have been announced. However, these are the first customisable DIMMs we've ever come across, as the RGB LED strip at the top of the module is compatible with LEGO bricks, although presumably there's no official license involved here. Based on the fact that it's Galaxy China that has shown off these modules, they're unlikely to make an appearance in markets outside of China.

efikkanThis gives new meaning to "building a PC".
well said :slap:
Prima.VeraYou guys buy RAM for their aesthetics or performance/price ? Those lego toys are no faster than DDR4 @ 2400Mhz ... :laugh: :ohwell:
I would never actually buy these, I only buy for best cost/performance, but its still neat imo

ixiPalit is not rare, if I remember right. Galax is for USA. Palit/Gainward for EU.

Under the palit is kfa2, gainward, galax and of course palit gpu's and other stuff.
KFA2 has nothing to do with Palit. KFA2 is Galax's EU name/branding.

And yes.. it's rare. Try finding their high-end stuff like HOF.

The LEGO is going to your head.

4800mhz DDR5 is NOT the same speed as DDR4 2400. Even accounting for latency bandwidth is higher.

How is it that every single generation we have to keep :slap: ping this information into people's heads?

No, speed is the same. Bandwidth is just double.

I for one would just prefer if everyone used the proper terms like frequency, latency and bandwidth.

Speed is the first derivative of the law of motion. And that's just for starters.

Come on, people. It's hard at fisrt but then everyone benefits from it. Well, almost everyone.
mechtechI wonder how expensive a Lego pc case would be to match?? ;)

edit - wow lots lol www.lego.com/en-us/categories/brick-boxes-accessories?page=1&filters.i0.key=variants.attributes.pieceCount&filters.i0.ranges.i0.from=1000&filters.i0.ranges.i0.to=0
Yeah! Just imagine how expensive and awkward our future cybentetic girfriends would be?
She be like 'Come on, honey! Let's have the sekz!' And we be like 'Aww, hell naw, b! Bend over so I can plug you into the TV and play some games on your GPU!'

Talk about 1st world problems in 22nd century!

If you're going to limit your definition of speed to chip clock, you may as well say that DDR3-1600 is no faster than DDR-400. Bus clock and transfer rate of DDR5-4800 vs. DDR4-2400 are both double. That doesn't mean performance is double, of course.
