Has Hexus reviewed any Zadak items ? Maybe if someone wins they can defer getting the prize and Hexus can review the actual item that was won ?

That's a good idea - I've not heard of them before either!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Many thanks to Hexus and Zadak.

They don't list any European disties, so I guess they've largely been targeting Asian markets : https://www.zadak.biz/location
Maybe this is them reaching beyond?

Some of their stuff looks curious, would be great to see some reviews coming out for their product ranges.
Their 'MOAB II' looks like a more refined version of something Thermaltake would trot out at tradeshows.

Thank you, hexus. Good ram this one!

Thank you Hexus and Zadak. I too am curious about this company, maybe there will be a review soon.

The AIO is most likely a rebranded asetek (like most AIOs on the market), so you can read pretty much any similar asetek 240mm cooler review and you'll know how it performs give or take a margin of error for fans. I feel like the only deciding factor other than software) is aesthetics at this point, so you can review this yourself based on the photos.

The RAM is interesting, I've seen some good reviews, which may or may not be "sponsored", and some comments that they typically use Samsung B-Die chips with looser timings, so not top binned but still pretty good. Again, there's so little separating RAM, I'd really just go for the cheapest in the bracket of the QVL list for your board, at your desired speed. Maybe that's Zadak, they claim to partner with most major manufacturers.

I'd not heard of Zadak before so I've been hunting

Yes the cooler is an Asetek https://www.asetek.com/gamingenthusi...partners/zadak
The ram is from Apacer and use Samsung B-Die chips the 3200mhz is CAS16 https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/91...iew/index.html
The case seems to be the only original product, but that in it's self is nothing special or new, that said the ram heat spreader/rgb may well be original as is the pump/block top (and most brands do that)

edit the AIO is a 7th gen asetek https://www.mmorpg.com/hardware-revi...iew-2000118248
edit2 hang on that sounds fishy, asetek only goes to 6th gen

Thanks, Zadak and Hexus. Will be exciting to see who gets to try them out

They mention support on the memory for ASRock's Polychrome Sync, but they don't show up on https://www.asrock.com/microsite/PolyChromeRGB/ in the memory tab. So maybe they're new?

edit: Apacer does show up (just saw Pob255's comment), but wow, they usually look a lot different.
