Earlier today we brought you the story of the Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB Lighting Enhancement kit, a $40 pair of dummy modules that fill up your vacant DIMM slots, a solution that polarized our readers to call it both genius and dumb. Thermaltake has a saner solution to fix your memory lighting woes - the Pacific R1 Plus Memory Lighting kit. This accessory latches on to your DIMM 4-slot cluster much like memory air coolers, but instead provides four LED diffusers that gives the appearance of four RGB LED illuminated modules. The best part is you can have any type of standard-height memory underneath, DDR2-thru-DDR4.

The top with four diffusers plugs into a single addressable RGB header. Each diffuser has 9 LEDs underneath, totaling 36. If you don't have an aRGB-capable motherboard, Thermaltake is also including an RGB controller module that lets you plug the kit into a USB 2.0 header and control via the company's own TT RGB Plus app. Measuring 156 mm x 51.1 mm x 43 mm (WxHxD), it weighs about 168 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

the added height would make it block a lot of cooling options, but its an uglier alternative i guess

Weirdly like it. Also adds "bulk" to the RAM that I feel like balances out a CPU cooler and GPU in Z height. For example, it matches well with the cladding on that motherboard shown. And if you really want RGB, it's probably a cheaper way to do so by getting the cheaper RAM and then adding this rather than more expensive variants. Although I never gone, I also liked the older RAM coolers that Corsair and others had too; in terms of adding more customization and bulk to a build. I don't care if others think it's an e-peen thing. Those folks literally complain about everything that makes this PC hobby great.

The only thing that bothers me is that software wise, none of the solutions out there seem to have an option that shows true RAM activity unlike Crucial's Ballistix Tactical Tracers (DDR1-DDR2-DDR3). Even Crucial's DDR4 variants don't. That's a huge appeal to me as a blinkenlights fan. Although the other options are adequate.

Treat it like botox injections to a ugly faced PC.

Making things even worse.

There is demand for that... unfortunately...

You forgot RGB PSUs, but thermaltake has you covered.

Also RGB SSDs, but that's OK, TeamGroup makes the T-Force Delta.

Also RGB cables, but that's fine, Lian Li has the Strimer.

Also RGB mouse and mousepad but Razer and steelseries both have options.

RGB chairs? Vertagear has you covered.

RGB monitors? Yup, Asus has a couple, including their top end ROG monitor.

There's also RGB watercooling fittings, pumps, and blocks from thermaltake and others.

Anything I missed? Or have we RGBd literally everything now?

which is why i asked for a rgb gamer or more precisely rgb outfits, from pants to shirts to even underwear and naturally glasses since I wear them

I believe Kingston got a perfect rgb ssd:

Hyper Fury, it just sounds so, uh manly, yeah lets go with that

How many ultra-nerds do you hang with that are actually going to ask this question unprompted?

Seriously, who the hell uses RGB on their gaming-or-workstation rig? it is distracting, nothing more.
