Avexir Unveils RAIDEN Series DDR3 Memory with PLASMA Tubes (DDR4 soon)

[ahhming]

This double-height module features a plasma tube on its top, which lights up with a blue lightning-effect, which could look awesome in cyberpunk case-mods. The module could pair particularly well with ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark S, and MSI Krait series motherboards.

Also judging from the picture, a DDR4 variant  will be release soon.

 

Form aside, the module has some pretty formidable specs - an 8-layer main PCB, XMP profiles of up to DDR3-2400 MHz, a machined aluminium heatsink drawing heat away from the DRAM chips, and hand-binned DRAM chips for the best overclocked performance. The RAIDEN comes in speeds of DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2400, densities of 4 GB and 8 GB, and in dual- and quad-channel kits that are combinations of the two top-level specs. Avexir didn't reveal pricing or availability.

When I saw "Plasma Tubes" I thought they somehow contributed to DDR3 technology. Not a mere aesthetic feature. Also, it's DDR3, so I don't see how it's compatible with X99, unless there's DDR4 variants.

Thats prettycool!

[MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT]

Well I know what i'll be using in my next build...

[MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT]

Gotta love Low-Profile <3

I feel in the future years RAM will start to sag like GPU

Lightning tubes? Really? All the 13 year olds will be lining up for these no doubt.

 

THIS COMMENTS ON TECHPOWERUP LEFT ME CRYING !!!

but lets not forget folks, its ddr3

[DuckDodgers]

So, now your RAM have become series of tubes? :lol:

[ahhming]

but lets not forget folks, its ddr3

DDR4 coming soon too

[AlexGoesHigh]

those look a bit tacky, also what is up with the sudden need of gigantic heat spreaders these days, first klevv and now these, like fuck that air tower coolers exist?

tbh air tower coolers are quite rare this few days  . my local pc shop has more AIO product  than air cooler

[kpreg]

holy fuck that's hot

[euniqe]

 

 

OH MY GOD that looks good. I want them to make the plasma tubes a standalone product so I can buy just those haha

 

 

but seriously this ram is freaking huge etc. etc. no point buying it just for aesthetics. I'll stick with my low-profile 1.5cm-high budget sticks tyvm.

[RazeG3SG1]

I just can't justify any purchase of fancy RAMs, I'm sticking to my ADATA non heatsink RAM

[Faceman]

Wow.

[zacRupnow]

but lets not forget folks, its ddr3

Did you hear the DDR4 joke?

[Maslofski]

can we refill them with out own plasma? lol

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

but lets not forget folks, its ddr3

lest we forget

I think I'll get a kit just for shits and giggles. Although, I'd definitely pry the heat spreaders off, it looks much cooler that way. The heat spreaders in the pictures look way too retro imo.

[Syntaxvgm]

This is stupid as hell

 

And you bet I'm ordering a kit

[sgloux3470]

This is some ricer-tier shit.  

 

Real plasma is cooler.

Hope you never break those tubes, Linus picks everything up, let's hope he doesn't drop these samples

Ugh, hideous (the white/blue chunk, the effect is pretty nice though). But I say enough with this "bling bling gam0r" nonsense (there's only so many "White Lightning" builds people can make). Most of the times those press images and the guys at conventions remind me of the car salesman from the Simpsons that makes cool noises and says stuff about "speed holes".

I can kinda see where you're coming from. They might be weird as hell and kinda dumb, but i think i have a perfect use. They would go great in my portal themed build I'm doing. Just gotta wait for ddr4 to be announced though (i know it's pointless but i want it )

[TheKDub]

It looks beautiful, though I wish it was black k instead of white
