The Predator Apollo RGB is a striking memory kit. While the Apollo utilizes neutral colors to better match a broad array of builds, the tall profile and bright RGB LEDs cause the kit to stand out. The aesthetics may be divisive, but do fit in perfectly with other Predator products. The build quality and attention to detail are also excellent, all the way down to the packaging.

The Predator Apollo RGB performed well at the 3600 MHz 14-15-15-35 XMP rating. For overclocking, the Predator Apollo RGB 3600 MHz proved to have a fair amount of headroom, reaching 4000 MHz stable with both my MSI MEG Z490 Godlike and Intel Core i9-10900K combo. With my MSI MEG X570 ACE and Ryzen 5 3600X test system, the Predator Apollo RGB was able to get up to 3733 MHz with XMP timings, and managed to remain stable even with the "Fast" B-die timings preset.

The Predator Apollo RGB is a solid performer with competitive overclocking potential and a bold aesthetic that will fit right in with the rest of the Predator family. At US$250, the MSRP for this spec of the Predator Apollo RGB is in line with other 3600 MHz CL14 kits I have tested. If you are looking for a highly binned Samsung B-die memory kit with a flashy aesthetic, the Predator Apollo RGB is a great place to start.
