A few years ago nobody ever looked at their RAM, except maybe to see what brand of chips it's made of. Now it's all about the bling factor, and performance is a secondary consideration. I like a decent looking heat spreader, but LED lights are too much - when the LEDs burn out, do you keep using them, or RMA the damn things even though they still run fine? This, and other first-world problems, like "if I change my system's LED color scheme, do I buy new LED RAM in the new color, or just go rainbow and hope it looks good?", and "my red LED RAM clashes with my new RGB case lighting, what should I do?". I'll avoid these problems and keep buying my RAM according to the chips used, and not by how it looks...

Flashy bling bling but I'll spoil it for all of you by drawing attention to the awful silver colour screws protruding like an Nvidia demo day.

Corsair, and Crucial had LED RAMs since the days of DDR1. Although compared to todays rams sure they were ugle and had all the RGB lights.

My first thought was, wow those look great on that mobo...but why would you use the stock cooler?...
And then it occurred to me as to why...
They be tall...looks like these would compliment a nice H2o kit.

How much extra FPS does that lighting give? :rolleyes:

Well, it's nice always to see something different, but does every component need to have LEDs on them..?

Because DDR4 is 2133 (standard) not 3200.

Well, those weren't the starting speeds of previous generations, more like fastest mainstream speeds. I'm sure that DDR4-3200's price will drop to equilent what DDR3-1600 is now.

Eh...Anyone remember 800Mhz and 1066Mhz DDR3?...Back when OCZ made those nice Gold and Chrome sticks?
Then 1333Mhz became the Standard...We are ending with 1600Mhz as the mainstream standard...

Like DDR was 200 -> 266 -> 333 and DDR2 was 400 -> 533 -> 667 before the PC-3200 and PC2-6400 became standards.
