GeIl EVO X DDR4 RAM Kits With RGB Lighting Now Available
Remember GeIl? I certainly do - mainly on account of a fleeting passion for the company's line of Black Dragon DDR3 memory. That same company has now announced availability of their EVO X DDR4 memory kits. That they took some time in the oven is an understatement, considering these kits were first announced back in May. The company now believes they are ready for prime time.
As expected, and as the name suggests, GeIl's EVO X features customizable RGB lighting on account of the company's Hybrid-Independent-Light-Module Technology, which means that LEDs, microprocessor, circuits, switch and dual-power-source are all fitted in one modular solution, which separates the entire lighting circuitry from the memory module, thus ensuring its stability.
The modules are powered by 12V RGB power cables in use with applicable motherboards from ASUS, Gigabyte or MSI, which ensures the memory's RGB can be controlled in sync with the motherboard's and other components. If you don't possess one of the compatible models (just check the image below to see which ones are), you can power the RGB lighting through your motherboard's fan headers, though that will reduce your lighting options to just red, green, blue, or an RGB cycling mode, which can be selected by use of what GeIl calls a "Sliding Hot Switch". This means that you will have even more cables prancing around your rig, which can be a deal-breaker for some, but there is definitely a market for this kind of products, even if you have to deal with some additional wiring.
Finally, in regards to specifications and pricing, we have:

Lets double the height to block CPU coolers.
Moar cables.
RGB this, RGB that.
However... if you are nuclear physicists then go ahead; nuclear decay particle analysis with some Bling factor - one of very few places where more MHz actually matter, but with ECC.
I like idea of LED here and there, but heck no to using cabling on RAM sticks. That's retarded.
Back in the day if you wanted faster memory you needed to overclock and change latencies, now you just turn the red leds on. For cooler memory you don't need an extra fan, just turn on the blue leds! And if it's needs to take less power just use the green leds! No need for undervolting anymore!
Those RGB leds make PC tuning so easy!!!!111one
excuse the celebration while I =:banghead:
Just put yourselves in a 15-16 years old shoes. Or even younger. You want to build with him a new gaming PC (yeah I know...).
You put him to choose the components. Guess which one is he going to choose? ;)
Peace! :D
I've searched a little and GEIL have gone from this in 2000-ish: (I had these and I LOVED their design! :D)

What a downfall in ambition and pride. I understand that there is alot of money in 14-year-olds but even me at 14 old would say WTF to designs like that.
