GALAX to Launch Updated Gamer III DDR4 Memory With RGB LEDs

[Raevenlord]

Around one year ago, GALAX introduced their Gamer DDR4 memory kits, which counted with LED illumination - these were not RGB parts, mind you, and instead, you had to choose between either Red, Green or Blue LEDs with matching color lid. But the times, they are a-changing, and nowadays, pure LED illumination isn't enough: gamers want permanent customization ability, so they can keep cycling kaleidoscopic colors around them at a whim.What the GALAX Gamer III line-up does well is that their RGB prowess comes absent of any unsightly extra cables for separate RGB power; like the G.Skill Trident Z, these make do without any extra wiring. However, where these fall short is on frequency and timings. It's almost as if the added LEDs reduce DRAM performance, since these kits will (at least for now) only be available in 2666 MHz frequency kits with CL 15... Which, for a company such as GALAX, with its over the top GPUs, seems slightly anemic. GALAX has yet to announce which motherboard manufacturers will support RGB controls, pricing, or actual availability dates (so, all the important bits.)

Not possible since RAM operates on binary.

Too thick for this board. LOL .Rosary . A typical example of how to inflate the price of cheap RAM just adding diodes . 2666 Mh ,for RAYZN Threadripper , given that this is the highest stable operating frequency.

Your bias is based on some pretty dated info. Sitting at 3000 stable, and can get to 3300 stable by increasing bCLK but I don't care to do that and prefer to leave bCLK alone.

On Threadripper?

:facepalm: just googled, didn't realize threadripper also falls under the ryzen branding.

Anything less than 3600Mhz shouldn't even be news. Especially those LGBT low spec sticks for kids.
