Just when I thought RAM couldn't get more bling....

[directhex]

The most nerd bling thing ever, i'm in love

[Ttaskmaster]

I'm interested... but it has to beat my Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RAM!!

[loftie]

"Exquisite packaging" coloured blister pack then?

[abaxas]

Pure tat.

I love them, but I wouldn't consider buying them unless they came in black

[DanceswithUnix]

If I had those then I would just have to start cooling my CPU with a lava lamp.

+1 on that ... and unlike the Avexir units, the CBTT sticks can be set to pulse in proportion to memory load/accesses. Which can be quite useful in itself when Windows goes into one of it's "I'm not speaking to you" fugues - at least the memory flashing proves that the system is "thinking" rather than "crashed".

This would be perfect for my Blue/White upcoming build...

Yes, let's put an unshielded high-power high-frequency RF noise emitter inside your PC case, right next to main system memory.
What could possibly go wrong.

Precisely - The one thing I *don't* have in my case is any plain LED strips or accent lighting. I insist on having a practical reason for all my light-up blingy mods.
Same idea behind my Lightning GPU - With the light-up logo, I can see when it's under load and know (roughly) how heavy a load.

It's all about having options for your bling... and having an actual purpose behind that bling, too!

CBTT RAM actually has several patterns which all take their cues from the activity/load and you can have a different pattern on each RAM stick. You also get two colour options independently assignable to both the top and the slot ends of each individual stick (sets come in red & green or blue & orange).
That is what Avexir is up against and when gaming in the dark, much of their admitedly gorgeous design here just won't show up.

I wish Corsair would bring back XMS PRO with modern memory. The bar graph was actually useful. As far as this memory is concerned, I find it makes me feel guilty to want it.

Never heard of Avexir. Anyone else ?

[Clydonian]

I'd be all for them but I think I would get annoyed because in all 8 dimms they wouldn't all be facing the same way lol

[lelouchvi]

OMG, DDR4 please!
