Wee more gimmics.

I think it looks quite good actually. Nice new heatspreaders too. Its not as if its like MSIs LED northbridge which is totally pointless and annoying.
I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigsWhich doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!
What do the LEDs do that can be claimed to be of benefit to your rig? IMHO, it's a marketing gimmic and it's a waste of money for those who buy such modules.

They're supposed to show how much memory on that dimm are being used i think
Even Task Manager, which is FREE and written by Microsoft, can do the job!!
How do you think the LEDs are powered? I suspect it's drawing power from VDimm which means that when the memory is most used (ie. when it requires most power), the LEDs are drawing the most from the source (to light up all those pretty little lights)... So, ok, you can up the VDimm to compensate, but higher voltages will eventually lead to shorter operating life of the modules - same with any semi-conductor - so your stick of RAM with fancy utilization indicator LEDs will ultimately fail on you quicker than standard sticks! Which of course will be just fine for Corsair.

Or the RAM temp at a guess ??
It shows the "activity" of the DIMM
Not really my cup of tea, but if you like flashing leds..............
its stupid tbh, i wouldnt buy corsair anyway, too fkn expensive
They are silly and pointless ...
About as useful as a lit northbridge from MSI mentioned somewhere above.

i would not say it is pointless but it is rather ugly (the leds) imh
i think it would be useful for the hardcore users as they can monitor the memory usage (if that is what activity means), but i don't really fall into that category.
yuk greeeen ... ... horrible

I am pretty sure its RAM usage of that particular module.
Not CPU usage, not total RAM usage ....

some dodgy photoshop work in that pic
pretty nifty idea if it does show the activity of your ram
ive been know to buy anything with an led installed. but i think ive found something i won't be buying. your ram is always doing something.
then again if the leds were bloo :-)
put leds on it and it'll sell to someone, prolly an american, nice little money spinner i expect
yeah sorry ment mem usageOriginally posted by Sinizter

Some what poitnless, more money for Corsair I suppose.
