DDR4 now comes to the widely acclaimed AEGIS family. Higher speed and lower voltage requirement combine to give your gaming PC system a sharp increase in performance and stability. It is constructed with hand-selected ICs and tested with stringent validation process. That is a real big deal. AEGIS DDR memory is something you can count on whether you play FPS, RTS, MOBA, or MMORPG.
Available from a standard starting speed of DDR4-2133MHz, G.SKILL Aegis gives the performance of your system a boost by increasing the amount of transfers per second. The new DDR4 memory is compatible with the 6th Generation Intel Core processors with the cutting-edge hardware technology to ensure smooth gaming for the newest games.
Built with the highest quality of hand-selected ICs and tested with G.SKILL's rigorous validation process on all major performance motherboard brands, the AEGIS Gaming DDR4 Memory is designed for the best compatibility and stability on the widest selection of motherboards.
Designed with a low voltage of 1.2V~1.35V at DDR4 standard, this lowers the memory voltage requirement by 20% from DDR3 memory kits! Now your system can perform even faster without becoming an expensive appliance heater.
Just set and go. Programmed with the latest Intel XMP 2.0 profiles, the only thing between you and extreme performance is a simple setting.
Pros: - Works as advertised. - Low profile. - No problems with the fit in the slots. - If you know how to set the XMP speeds on your motherboard it's a set it and forget it kind of thing.
Cons: - Stickers on the RAM seem a bit tacky. May as well have left it naked. - Little/No overclock headroom. If you're an ultimate tweaker kind of person I wouldn't recommend this set.
Overall Review: I've had no issues with this RAM set since I purchased it 3 months ago. I'm running a Core i5-8400 in a Z370 chipet MoBo. Which could probably account for my more positive experience than some others that have been struggling with Ryzen chips. So, if you're going to run an Intel setup you should be fine with this RAM. I did try to push the RAM little bit, just pushed it up one notch on the MHz to 3200 and loosened timings a bit and it refused to work. Didn't think it was worth tinkering further if it wasn't going to take a small step up. No skin off my teeth seeing as how all reviews I've looked at with the Z370 chipset show that over DDR4 3000 you see very diminished returns, if any at all. As far as heat spreaders are concerned, I've done a bit of reading online and it seems that RAM really doesn't need a heat spreader at all, even overclocked. The heat created by RAM is minuscule. It's really just for pretties than anything. Don't just take my word for it, though. I recommend either doing some measurements of your own or go do some research.
