Patriot is entering the RGB memory game with their new Viper RGB DDR4 memory kits. These new kits marry Patriot's enthusiast-grade and very popular Viper DDR4 memory with customizable RGB LED lighting. Today we are checking out the 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4-3000 white kit (PVR416G300C5KW), but Patriot offers this memory in speeds all the way up to 4133 MHz. On top of being compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, Patriot has their own software the customize the RGB lighting as well. Let's get this kit installed and see what it can do!

It seems like every memory company is now offering RGB modules and HyperX is now one of them releasing their first ever RGB kit in their Predator DDR4 RGB. This kit comes with an updated heatspreader design, of course RGB lighting, and one very special feature that you won't find on other RGB kits. That special feature comes in the form of IR channels built into each module. These ensure that the RGB lighting effects don't get out of sync, by allowing the modules to "talk to each other". We were actually shown how this works at CES earlier this year. Today we are checking out the HX429C15PB3AK2/16 kit, which is a 16GB (2x 8GB) kit running at 2933 MHz with timings of 15-17-17-39 at 1.35V. Let's see how this kit stacks up against other RGB kits we've reviewed recently.

For enthusiastic gamers and modders, powerful gear is a must. And after winning over the professional gaming crowd, Apacer is bringing some colorful bling to DRAM. Since its last incarnation, PANTHER RAGE DDR4 has evolved from single-light LED to splashy RGB, with its bold new color in Gold. Apacer is going to show that the new gear is definitely worth the wait.

Ever since from the release moment, TEAMGROUP T-FORCE gaming memory module series has been creating global gaming trends and won multiple major international design awards. Today, the long expected latest RGB memory module - T-FORCE XCALIBUR is released.

One of the first ever memory kits with LEDs on them I had the chance to experience was a Ballistix Tactical Tracer kit. LEDs really changed things up with memory adding so much more style than your typical heatspreaders. Now we are seeing so many RGB LED memory kits it might be hard to choose between different brands. The Tactical Tracer RGB is the first RGB kit from Ballistix and I have to say they are some of the best-looking modules I’ve seen. Today we are taking a look at the BLT4K8G4D26BFT4K kit which is a 32GB (4 x 8GB) kit running at 2666 MHz with timings of 16-18-18-38 at 1.2V. Ballistix also has their own M.O.D. Utility which allows you to customize the RGB LEDs as well as see the temperature of each individual module. Can this kit dethrone the G.SKILL Trident Z RGB as our favorite RGB memory kit? Read on as we find out!

Ballistix, a leading global brand of gaming memory, today announced the availability of Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB DDR4 memory. The new Tactical Tracer RGB modules, available in 8GB and 16GB densities with speeds up to 3000 MT/s, allow gamers to light up their systems with 16 RGB LEDs in 8 zones on each module.

CORSAIR, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced the immediate availability of its new Dominator Platinum Special Edition CONTRAST DDR4 memory.

Patriot has recently released their latest memory series, the brand new Viper LED. As you can guess by the name these modules will feature LED lighting. While not RGB you have the option to choose from Red or White illumination. The modules have a new heatspreader design, which I have to say is one of the best we've seen from Patriot. The kit will will be taking a look at today is the PVLR416G300C5K which is a Viper Red LED Series kit of 2 x 8GB modules (16GB total) running at 3000 MHz with timings of 15-17-17-35 at 1.35V. Let's get this kit in our test system and see what it can do!

2017 was the year of RGB, but 2018 is going to see some refinements. It is possible for current RGB memory to become out of sync, meaning the colors on some sticks may not match the other sticks. HyperX has revised the RGB modules in their memory to keep your memory sticks in sync.
