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.

I would definitely buy some of these for that Lego nostalgia. Glad to see some manufacturers going outside the "l337 gamer" aesthetic.

Agreed, the sides show Tetris shapes, not particularly Lego-like.

But if I can snap black Legos on the top to block the RGB, then +1 to Galax for making the design functional.

Palit 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.
