Overview
G.SKILL builds this kit as two lit desktop modules for gaming and creator builds. Each stick is a full-size UDIMM with RGB lighting, and an XMP profile stores the rated speed and timings for the board to read.
A visible build with matching light strips and high rated speed is the reason to choose it. The limitation is that the rated speed only applies when the profile is turned on, and the lights are for show, not performance.
Who it's for
A tower with a glass side and a board that supports the profile is where the kit shines. Laptop owners and those who dislike lights should look at a plain module.
Pros and cons
- High rated speed
- Stored XMP profile
- Paired kit for dual channel
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Lighting control details missing
- Profile must be enabled
- Module height not listed
- Desktop modules only
Performance notes
The stored profile tells the board the rated speed, timings and voltage, so the kit can run above the default memory speed. Two matched sticks use dual channel to widen the data path to the processor. The lights are separate from the memory chips and do not change speed.
