Geil DDR4 Memory: Beautiful, Reliable, Hardcore
The meticulous PC lover knows exactly which non-reference graphics card is the fastest / quietest and is sure to make sure that the processor will reveal the potential of the GPU . But, as soon as it comes to memory selection, 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 are equally mistaken, and the opposite camp, where enthusiasts say “all memory is the same”, and then collect as many problems from cheap memory that are enough to browse forums and tell jokes about the computer.
And you just need to adopt the principle, as when choosing a smartphone - to pay attention to manufacturers who have not yet raised prices for the "nameplate", but produce quality products. The Taiwanese brand Geil is just such a case, and using the example of the new DDR 4 “RAM”, we will tell you why it is good.
EVOXROGEdition - compatible with ASUSROG features and customizable lighting in any motherboard
No one remembers why gaming hardware got black and red "camouflage", but it is known for sure which manufacturer was the first to release computer memory with RGB backlighting, so that PC owners themselves choose the right color. 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 completed the motherboard with modules, but also designed a memorable, beautiful computer in every detail.
The famous backlighting has been retained in the EVOXROGEdition. Everything ingenious is simple - the modules can be connected to the motherboard's proprietary memory controller and control the backlight, as the manufacturer of this board bequeathed (ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock Aura RGB, MSI Mystic Light RGB, Biostar Vivid LED DJ and Gigabyte RGB Fusion backlight technologies are supported).
And, what is much more important, even if you “did not bequeath it in any way”, you can still control the backlight on the modules! All you have to do is supply power to the modules via the 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 Hybrid-Independent-Light-Module (HILM) backlight "hybrid independent light-modules", with it it becomes easy to conjure over the appearance of a computer even without specific "designer" functions in the motherboard. And if you still have such functions, you have the opportunity with the help of ASUSAura to make the backlight of every little thing in the case work synchronously.
With the hardware component, the "fashionable" modules are also fine - they are guaranteed to work with ASUSROG motherboards, and in a company 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 are the same!). EVOXROGEdition kits for dual-channel operation will soon be available for sale with frequencies from 2133 to 3200 MHz and timings from 15-15-15-36 to 16-18-18-36. "Smart and beautiful" modules at the same time, a rare sight!
SUPER LUCE RGB SYNC - RGB lighting in a compact package
No, you guys didn't guess. Super Lucy is a 2014 action film directed by Luc Besson, and Luce, in Geil's memory name, means "light." A transparent hint at the backlight 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 the color, glow modes and synchronize the glow of modules with other components using the same ASUS Aura.
There should be a lot of good memory - SUPERLUCE is so much that it's even a long list. Modules in black and white to choose from, and the color applies to both the radiator and the textolite. Sold singly (SingleChannel kit) or in kits for two-channel and four-channel configurations. With a frequency of 2133 MHz at timings 15-15-15-36 to 3200 MHz at 16-18-18-36. There is even a standalone AMDEdition for modules that have been tested in the most capricious motherboards for RyZEN processors. Memory that works at a high frequency "without a fight", and even 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 “full mincemeat”, where memory must not turn into a “bottleneck” next to Intel Core Xtreme Edition processors, the fastest Corei5, Corei7, and now Corei9 with unlocked multipliers. Or AMDThreadripper, or older versions of RyZEN 7.
Design - fully "combat" and functional. Very efficient and compact heatsinks that will not interfere with the work of even bulky and low-hanging CPU coolers. With this design, EVOSpear can even be used for "exotic" - 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 kits (4-64 GB).
At the same time, the price of "extreme memory" is not so scary, as the imagination paints it - on the contrary, the EVOSpear kit will cost less than most alternatives with the same speed with completely "adult" reliability and production culture. What you need to build computers that excite the minds of enthusiasts, even in the form of a plate with characteristics.
