Print

Computex 2018 sees Gigabyte announce a first-- memory, specifically DDR4 modules sold under the Auros brand. So far the company offers one kit, an RGB Fusion-compatible option weighing at 16GB (2 x 8GB).

Gigabyte memoryThe RAM comes in the shape of a dual-channel kit with 3200MHz top speed and C16 latency. It runs at 1.35v and includes a silver heatspreader together with lighting compatible with Gigabyte Fusion Link for customers wanting to synch system and peripheral lighting and effects. The company does not specify the amount of LEDs inside the RAM, but it appears to be multi-zone programmable.

Interestingly the Gigabyte memory kits includes dummy RGB sticks one slots in their machine in order to add more lighting. The sticks carry no actual memory, but might be appealing to customers wanting to build a sweeter-looking rig but do not want to shell out for a full 64GB of RAM.

The Gigabyte Aorus RGB DDR4 kit ships from June 2018.
