It's new DDR4 memory from Patriot, and yep - it's fast!

While the first generation of Ryzen processors had some issues maintaining high DDR4 memory speeds, significant improvements have been made since then. Now with 3rd Gen Ryzen and X570, memory makers are able to release blazing fast DDR4 kits tailored to AMD's platform. Corsair's new Vengeance LPX for instance runs …

We've regularly seen G.Skill memory breaking overclocking records over the summer months. Last year, G.Skill memory was used to set 23 new overclocking records and this year, G.Skill has become the first DDR4 memory maker to surpass 6GHz speeds. Taiwanese professional overclocker, ‘Toppc', used G.Skill Trident Z Royal and the …

At Computex earlier this year, we got a sneak peek at Thermaltake's next foray into the memory market. Last year, we saw the beginning with the launch of WaterRAM and this year, non-watercooled TOUGHRAM is coming in 3000MHz, 3200MHz and 3600MHz flavours. Each TOUGHRAM kit comes with a 10-layer PCB …

G.Skill has been a front runner in high-performance RAM for a good while now, with a ton of high performance DDR4 kits already available. Today, G.Skill is adding two new 64GB RAM kits to its lineup, delivering speeds of 4300MHz and 4000MHz. These are part of the Trident Z Royal …

Right back at the start of this year, Leo reviewed Thermaltake's WaterRAM memory kit, essentially delivering RAM pre-configured for water cooling enthusiasts with a full block that covers all four DDR4 dimms. At the time, the kit we had was 32GB running at 3200MHz but now, a faster version is …

With the jump to 3rd Gen Ryzen processors and the X570 chipset, RAM speeds have greatly improved on AMD's platform. As a result, we have already started seeing new ‘Ryzen optimised' memory kits hitting the market and today, G.Skill is launching its fastest yet. The new G.Skill Trident Z Neo …

While initially Ryzen processors had trouble maintaining super fast DDR4 RAM speeds, AMD has taken strides in this area with 2nd Gen and now 3rd Gen chips. To accompany the launch of 3rd Gen Ryzen ‘Zen 2’ processors, G.Skill is launching all new RGB memory kits optimised for the X570 …

G.Skill always has a big presence at Computex, in large part to show off the overclocking prowess of its RAM kits. This year is no different, as we got a good look at several live demonstrations of DDR4 RAM overclocked to extreme speeds, including a 384GB set running at 4,000MHz …

We've had a busy couple of days at Computex so far. Today, we had a chance to visit Antec to check out what's new in the world of PC cases. To our surprise, we were greeted with a Micro-ATX case modelled after a car engine, which almost stole the show …

Intel is set to take back the title of 'world's largest chipmaker' from Samsung, as the memory market is expected to see a decline throughout 2019.

The DRAM and NAND Flash markets enjoyed a massive boom in recent years, to the point where there have been allegations of price fixing. Late last year, market analysts began talking about ‘steep declines' due in 2019. Now according to updated analysis, DRAM contract prices are in the sharpest decline …

Corsair Capellix - its the new big thing in the world of RGB. Do you WANT it ?

Intel's unlocked, 28-core Xeon W-3175X has launched, which means we're going to be getting accompanying announcements from RAM and motherboard partners. The first of these arrived today, with G.Skill announcing its new six-channel DDR4 memory kits, launching specifically with the new Xeon in mind. G.Skill's new hexa-channel kits arrive in …

Last year, Intel unveiled its Core+ line of processors, bundling i7+8700, i5+8400 and i5+8500 models with 16GB of Optane memory. It seems as though a lack of demand has since led to their discontinuation, as Intel has filed a ‘product change notification’ earlier this week. Intel spent a good portion …

It's more RGB memory - this time from Team Group. Leo finds out how good it really is

To celebrate the launch of Thermaltake's all-new WaterRAM, we are teaming up to give away one 16GB kit to a lucky KitGuru reader!

Its unique, expensive, but really good. Leo likes it!

RAM prices have been in a constant state of flux over the last few years. Most of the time, picking up a 3000MHz+ 16GB kit will set you back close to, if not more than £200 here in the UK. Fortunately, memory pricing is predicted to be coming down over …

It seems that almost every memory manufacturer has its own RGB offering these days, although prices set a pretty high barrier for entry if users want to spruce up their rig. Corsair has now come up with a temporary solution for those with extra DIMM slots spare, putting dummy RAM …

RAM prices have risen significantly over the last couple of years and while things are starting to settle down a bit now, there are still many who believe that something shady was going on. In December 2017, China's economic regulator began investigating Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron in order to …

Back in June, we had the chance to check out G.Skill's booth at Computex. This is when we got our first look at the company's new Trident Z Royal memory series, bringing a new, distinct look. It has been several months since we last saw it, but the carriage has …

We still have some life left in the DDR4 generation but DDR5 is coming and SK Hynix is already at the forefront.

G.Skill has been a front runner in high-performance RAM for a good while now. We've seen the company push DDR4 speeds to their limits and now, the company is turning its attention to delivering higher capacities, with new 64GB and 128GB DDR4 RAM kits heading our way. The 64GB kit …

We've been hearing more and more reports surrounding corporate espionage in the tech industry over the last year. This time around, the US government is getting involved, with the Department of Justice cracking down on a company known as ‘Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Company' and its DRAM partner, UMC, over …

NAND Flash prices entered a freefall earlier this year, hitting lows of 50 percent thanks to oversupply. It was initially reported that DRAM would shortly follow, but limitations from the world's top-3 DRAM makers are set to reduce capacity expansions in order to stabilise prices. The drop in NAND Flash …

Although Intel’s 14nm CPU shortage wasn’t the most welcome news last month, it did enable DRAMeXchange to tease a much-needed price decline within both the DRAM and NAND markets. This is set to steepen throughout 2019, however weak price trends suggest that we could see significant price drops by the …

G.Skill has partnered with ASUS to develop brand new Double Capacity DIMM technology, crafting the newly announced Trident Z RGB DC series DDR4 64GB (32GBx2) memory kits. For the more speed conscious, the memory manufacturer has also set the fastest XMP speed in both 16GB and 32GB configurations to date …

Industry analysts expect Intel’s 14nm CPU shortage to lead to a further price decline for DRAM and storage markets later in the year.

It's G.Skill's latest DDR4 memory kit - if you can see it, that is!
