RGB DDR3?

[H0R53]

Is there RGB DDR3? I am using Corsair XMS3 (which is fricking great) but I want a little more flair. Most RGB RAM is DDR4.

Nope. RGB RAM is a relatively new thing and barely anyone is developing new DDR3 modules because it's an older standard that's at EoL.

Shit. Do they make kits? I saw the new RGB RAM video from LTT and was thinking maybe I could find a kit similar to Geil's solution.

Not that I know of. You could try to make your own with some short RGB LED strips, though it may not work too well.

You could possibly get a kit like the GEIL sticks of DDR4, then steal the RGB heatspreaders and slap them on your DDR3. Be left over with some DDR4 ram but you could hold onto it for the next build or try to sell it

The heatspreaders on my XMS3 don't come off east, on one dead stick I had, the memory chips came off along with the spreaders, even with a heat gun.

At least that was a dead stick... I think hes got the beat idea then as I don't know of any other pre-made kits.

Linus did a video once on heatsinks for ram you can buy individually, perhaps you can find those and mod them with a rgb strip?

I saw some on Amazon, they were red (which fits my build colors of red and blue [Izzet League from MTG]) so I may give them a shot.

 

Since my build includes UV Blue lighting, is there any UV reactive spray paint that glows red? Imagine that on RAM, even precisely painted on the memory chips...
