lexar hades rgb 32gb 3600 c18 review a

   As far back as i can remember i was never into RAM overclocking, not because it was hard or because it could result in reduced RAM life but rather because it could affect system stability. On top of that since real world gains are very small (especially when gaming) i never felt overclocking my RAM kits was needed, at least nowhere nearly as much as CPU & GPU overclocking. So, you can probably imagine how surprised i am whenever i get questions like which kit has the best overclocking headroom or which kit can run at the lowest possible CAS latencies. These are of course things i could never answer with a straight face, not only due to the fact that I’d need to have reviewed every RAM kit out there to do that but also because even if i had it would had still taken me forever to test every single aspect from lowest CAS latencies to highest frequencies. With that small parenthesis out of the way today’s review is of yet another DDR4 RAM kit, the Hades RGB OC 32GB 3600MHz CL18 by Lexar.


   For more than 25 years, Lexar has been a trusted leading global brand of memory solutions. Our award-winning lineup includes memory cards, USB flash drives, card readers, solid-state drives and DRAM. With so many options, it’s easy to find the right Lexar solution to fit your needs. All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs with more than 1,100 digital devices, to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability. Lexar products are available worldwide at major retail and e-tail stores. For more information or support, visit www.lexar.com.


   The Hades RGB OC line of DDR4 kits by Lexar is quite limited currently and so it's only available in single (8/16GB) modules and dual (2x8/16GB) channel kits with frequencies up to 3600MHz (3200/3600MHz), CAS latency timings as low as 16 (3200MHz CL16 - 3600MHZ CL18) and voltages up to 1.35v. Past the somewhat thick aluminum heatspreaders we find single rank memory chips by Lexar themselves paired with a top LED bar with a total of 8 ARGB LEDs (8 zones with 14 effects) which is fully compatible with all the popular mainboard sync technologies (including ASUS AURA Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome Sync). As with most high quality kits in the market today the entire Hades RGB OC line of DDR4 kits by Lexar is also covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
