Thermaltake Pacific R1 Plus Memory Lighting a Smarter Alternative to Dummy Modules
Earlier today we brought you the story of the Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB Lighting Enhancement kit, a $40 pair of dummy modules that fill up your vacant DIMM slots, a solution that polarized our readers to call it both genius and dumb. Thermaltake has a saner solution to fix your memory lighting woes - the Pacific R1 Plus Memory Lighting kit. This accessory latches on to your DIMM 4-slot cluster much like memory air coolers, but instead provides four LED diffusers that gives the appearance of four RGB LED illuminated modules. The best part is you can have any type of standard-height memory underneath, DDR2-thru-DDR4.
The top with four diffusers plugs into a single addressable RGB header. Each diffuser has 9 LEDs underneath, totaling 36. If you don't have an aRGB-capable motherboard, Thermaltake is also including an RGB controller module that lets you plug the kit into a USB 2.0 header and control via the company's own TT RGB Plus app. Measuring 156 mm x 51.1 mm x 43 mm (WxHxD), it weighs about 168 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Absurd and useless.
The only thing that bothers me is that software wise, none of the solutions out there seem to have an option that shows true RAM activity unlike Crucial's Ballistix Tactical Tracers (DDR1-DDR2-DDR3). Even Crucial's DDR4 variants don't. That's a huge appeal to me as a blinkenlights fan. Although the other options are adequate.
Making things even worse.
There is demand for that... unfortunately...
rgb ram - check
rgb case - check
rgb cpu cooler - check
rgb gpu - check
rgb keyboard - check
now we just need a gamer wrapped in rgb
Also RGB SSDs, but that's OK, TeamGroup makes the T-Force Delta.
Also RGB cables, but that's fine, Lian Li has the Strimer.
Also RGB mouse and mousepad but Razer and steelseries both have options.
RGB chairs? Vertagear has you covered.
RGB monitors? Yup, Asus has a couple, including their top end ROG monitor.
There's also RGB watercooling fittings, pumps, and blocks from thermaltake and others.
Anything I missed? Or have we RGBd literally everything now?
I believe Kingston got a perfect rgb ssd:
