Test System

Initial Setup

Plug 'em in, turn on your system, and the LEDs on the sticks come to life. A wave of colors rolls from top to bottom.


I actually check for this to see if DIMMs scroll up or down or whatever at default, but it seems that nearly all RGB options behave the same way. Since the majority of them require an ASUS motherboard for adjusting the LED pattern, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.


I don't have an ASUS motherboard to test with, so it seems what you see is what you get when you use these sticks with other boards. I most definitely do not like that bit of "incompatibility" that might limit the end user in enjoying their fancy high-end memory.
