Gigabyte Aorus memory

[krisulinus]

Hey, 
I've been waiting for over month, before this comes out and I just want to ask, if someone has experience or if you think it's worth it to pay the extra 40$ (in my country) instead of Viper RGB memory, TridentZ ect.
Thanks for respond.

+ It's Samsung B-die

+ It looks cool

- It's either low quality B-die or just badly set timings. 3200MHz B-die should easily hit 14-14-14-34.

- Likely not worth it performance wise.

 

I guess it depends. What are the other options?

 

How much does this bin cost in your country? G.SKill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C14D-16GTZR

If the Gigabyte ones are more expensive than these, I wouldn't buy the Gigabyte set.

The extra is likely for the cost of RGB plus the 2 extra sticks of RGB you get as dummies to put in there as well to make it look full.

Absolutely not.  It's nothing more than memory with lights on it, exactly like the other memory with lights on it.

G Skill 221.78500 U.S. dollars
Gigabyte 266.14200 U.S. dollars

As I said, it's 40$ more, but you get more of the "cool factor" with two dummies. Thanks for pointing out the pros and cons.

Here's a few things to consider:

RAM prices will probably go down in 2019

With the G.Skill RAM the default rainbow wave (which I think is the best) doesn't sync, so one stick goes faster than the other. 

If you want to sync the Trident Z RAM you'll need AURA SYNC, which can corrupt the SPD files of the RAM sticks if conflicting programmes are installed.

Okay, thanks for the info, but I don't think I'm gonna wait for RAM that long, if something doesn't mess up.
I'm buying gigabyte motherboard, so that would be a problem, also, don't really want my sticks to break down, cause I know about this issue.
