Initial Setup

The refined black and white look of the Apacer NOX RGB is quite appealing and easy to match with other components. While not a perfect fit with my ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7, it still looks excellent against the backplate of my EVGA 2080 FTW graphics card.

The large RGB LED diffuser gives the Apacer NOX RGB a soft look without sacrificing any brightness. Apacer did a great job of balancing output and diffusion on the Apacer NOX RGB. The diffuser really does have a wide angle, which will make this kit stand out even in crowded builds.

Running this kit at its rated speed was as simple as enabling XMP. The Apacer NOX RGB had no stability issues at all during testing.
