We review probably the most beautiful looking memory of 2018, it is fabbed at G.Skill. It's available in multiple frequencies and timings, we test the 3200 MHz kit. With XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel platforms as well as checking support for AMD Ryzen. Meet a memory type that sets and defines a whole new standard in style and design.

great review, impressive memory.

but "my eyes, my god my eyes!"

still tho' if i was going to do a signature build for somebody this is cheaper than a lot of mods.

be-dazzled for RAM, who'd a thunk?

I could see this memory looking great in a watercooled build with chrome fittings and/or metal hardlines.

That font though, yeesh, looks like the text on something that would be marketed to grandmothers.

Well this is some very unique looking RAM, I'll give it that! Looks a little chintzy to my eyes though, it wouldn't be one I'd go for. On page 3 the open presentation box pic with the Trident Z Royal dust cloth made me chuckle though!

EDIT: Actually, these RAM sticks would look pretty cool if they just had those shiny mirrored metal heat spreaders, but without the jewellery styled RGB element.

3466 at cas 14 and 1t......pretty impressive. Seems 3200 and cas 14 is about the sweet spot for ddr4, at least as far as striking a balance between frequency and latency is concerned.

Performance wise, G.Skill makes some great RAM products, and those covered in this article look great too! Thank you Hilbert for posting this one.
