A heat spreader does not always bring the temperature down. Rather than that, it moves the heat from the chips to the PCB, distributes it more evenly throughout the module, and eliminates potential hot spots. Theoretically, this should allow better overclocking. Geil equips the Polaris RGB 8000 CL38 DDR5 memory modules with an aluminum heat spreader with a matte white color.
The light bar is placed on top of the heatsink.
It looks attractive and should make this memory kit appear nice in a build.
The total height of the stick is about 43 mm/1.69 inches. That’s a relatively low-profile module, so you shouldn’t encounter problems with air coolers. However, we always recommend double-checking whether any clearance issues won’t occur before you buy this set.
Ok, here are the last shots of this nice memory kit. The module weighs 43 g, so the radiator seems relatively solid.
Let’s proceed to the next page.
Geil Polaris RGB DDR5 8000 CL38 2x16 GB review
Geil (Golden Emperor International Limited) is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. It was founded in 1993 and will have its 30th anniversary this year. At the end of last year, we had an opportunity to check their Evo V DDR5 memory kit, consisting of two 16 GB modules with a frequency of 6200 MHz and CL34 latency. What are the main differences vs. Evo V? Mainly, the design of a radiator and the lack of two fans used for active cooling of the modules. This time, we will review Geil’s second series, Polaris RGB (there’s also a “regular” Polaris without the lighting), with an astonishing frequency of 8000 MHz.
