Lexar Hades RGB DDR4-3600 C18 Review: Bling without performance

Getting things right the first time is very difficult, especially for a company that has entered uncharted territory. Last year, Lexar unexpectedly announced its entry into the memory market. However, given that Lexar has gone deep into storing games, this is not entirely surprising.Although Lexar’s debut did not cause a sensation DDR4-2666 memory, The brand is ready to make another move.This time, Lexar released the first RGB memory in the shape of the Hades RGB product line, which it believes will be compatible with Best memory in the market.

Lexar’s Hades RGB memory modules use rectangular aluminum heat sinks, supplemented by brushed finishes. This is not the gorgeous design we are used to, but it should be suitable for most consumers. Apart from the Lexar logo and traditional stickers with specifications, nothing else can catch your attention.

The memory is 45.6 mm (1.8 inches) high, so we recommend that you check the clearance space of the CPU cooler before pulling the trigger on the Hades RGB. As the name suggests, the memory is equipped with RGB light bars integrated into the heat sink design. You can use the included Lexar RGB Sync software or motherboard software to play with lighting. If you choose the latter, please note that this memory is only compatible with Asus Aura Sync, ASRock Polychrome, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 and MSI Mystic Light.

Below the stylish radiator of Hades RGB, you will find a black eight-layer PCB with a single-line design. The single-rank design will harm the performance of the memory kit. The type of integrated circuit (IC) is still a mystery, because Lexar seems to cover up this information, so Thaiphoon Burner cannot evaluate it. Given the sloppy timing of XMP, IC is likely to be at the low end of the quality level.
