Beautiful, reliable, hardcore - GeilDDR4 memory
A meticulous PC lover knows exactly which non-reference graphics card is the fastest/quietest and makes sure to check whether the processor will reveal its potential GPU. But when it comes to choosing memory, even the most balanced geek acts illogically. Moreover, those who pay extra for the “ancient wisdom of the brand and unique traditions” in a piece of textolite with microcircuits, and the opposite camp, where enthusiasts repeat “all memory is the same”, and then collect so many problems from cheap memory that there will be enough, are equally mistaken to go on forums and tell jokes about the computer.
All you need to do is adopt the same principle as when choosing a smartphone - pay attention to manufacturers who have not yet raised prices for the “nameplate”, but produce high-quality products. Taiwanese brand Hot - just such a case, and using the example of the new “RAM” DDR4 we will tell you why it is good.
EVOXROGEdition – compatibility with ASUSROG functions and customizable backlighting in any motherboard
No one remembers why gaming hardware received black and red “camouflage”, but it is known exactly which manufacturer was the first to produce computer memory with RGB backlighting, so that PC owners could choose the desired color themselves. This manufacturer, as you might guess, was Geil - the debut version of EVOX memory with this function was in great demand among everyone, who not only equipped the motherboard with modules, but designed a computer that was memorable and beautiful in every detail.
The famous backlighting has been preserved in EVOXROGEdition as well. Everything ingenious is simple – the modules can be connected to the proprietary memory controller of the motherboard and control the backlighting as the manufacturer of this board bequeathed (the backlighting technologies supported are ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock Aura RGB, MSI Mystic Light RGB, Biostar Vivid LED DJ and Gigabyte RGB Fusion).
And, what is much more important, even if you “didn’t bequeath it in any way,” you can still control the backlight on the modules! It is enough to supply power to the modules via a 3-pin “fan” connector, and then adjust the effects and color of the backlight using the sliders on the top of the modules! Geil calls this backlight Hybrid-Independent-Light-Module (HILM) “hybrid independent illumination of modules”, with it it becomes easy to conjure up the appearance of the computer even without specific “designer” functions in the motherboard. And if such functions do exist, you have the opportunity, using ASUSAura, to make the backlight of every little thing in the case work synchronously.
Everything is also good with the hardware component of the “fashionable” modules - they are guaranteed to work with ASUSROG motherboards, and in combination with AMDRyZEN processors, the modules immediately “take” the correct frequency - with the capricious memory controller of the “red processors” this is important. IntelXMP profiles are fully supported and everything is fine with overclocking (SKHynix chips!). EVOXROGEdition kits for dual-channel operation with frequencies from 2133 to 3200 MHz and timings from 15-15-15-36 to 16-18-18-36 will soon go on sale. “Smart and beautiful” modules at the same time, a rare sight!
SUPER LUCE RGB SYNC – RGB lighting in a compact package
No, guys, you didn't guess right. “Super Lucy” is a 2014 action film written by Luc Besson, and “Luce” in the Geil memory name means “light.” Transparent hint of illumination of any color of the RGB palette with wireless control. Unlike EVOXROGEdition, the LUCE series does not have separate wires for connecting the backlight, for this reason SUPERLUCERGBSYNC turned out to be compact in height. And you can control color, lighting modes and synchronize the lighting of modules with other components using the same ASUS Aura.
There should be a lot of good memory - SUPERLUCE is so much that it would take too long to even list. Modules are available in black and white to choose from, and the color applies to both the radiator and the PCB. Available individually (SingleChannel kit) or in kits for two-channel and four-channel configurations. With a frequency from 2133 MHz with timings 15-15-15-36 to 3200 MHz with 16-18-18-36. There is even a separate AMDEdition for modules that have been tested in the most demanding motherboards for RyZEN processors. A memory that works at a high frequency “without a fight”, and is also beautiful - what else is needed for complete happiness?
EVOSpear – maximum speed, minimum dimensions
And here is the answer to the question of what happiness looks like in computers with a "full stuffing", where the memory should not turn into a "bottleneck" next to the Intel Core Xtreme Edition processors, the fastest Core i5, Core i7, and now Core i9 with unlocked multipliers. Or AMD Threadripper, or older versions of RyZEN 7.
The design is completely “combat” and functional. Very efficient and compact radiators that will not interfere with the operation of even bulky and low-hanging processor coolers. With this design, EVOSpear can be used even for “exotics” - compact computers with extremely fast hardware, for example.
The performance margin is huge! Frequency 2133 to 3466 MHz (for Intel) and 2133 to 3200 MHz in versions adapted to the AMD memory controller. And an almost “dietary” voltage level - from 1,2 V to 1,35 V. You can choose from one-, two-, and four-channel sets (4-64 GB).
At the same time, the price for “extreme memory” is not so terrible as the imagination paints it - on the contrary, the EVOSpear kit will cost less than most alternatives with the same performance with completely “adult” reliability and production standards. What you need to build computers that excite the minds of enthusiasts even in the form of a performance plate.
