While Apacer are beginning to emerge into Western markets, we’re still yet to see them in the certain regions, with very little of their stock arriving on UK shores. Because of this, British readers may struggle to find stock anywhere outside of overseas sellers.
Regarding performance, there isn’t much to a memory kit other than its frequency and CAS timings, but regardless, we found the performance to be exactly in line with other similar kits. The 3200MHz frequency definitely helps performance on the Ryzen 2700X, particularly in gaming where the last few framerates are the hardest to reach.
The RGB lighting is a bit of a let-down, sadly. Apacer don’t provide any downloadable software to control the RGB lighting, instead depending on the motherboard’s software for lighting presets. It’s unusual not to include any kind of customisation software and quite frankly just downright annoying. Ignoring the lack of software, the distribution of colours throughout the diffusion bars along the top is almost perfect with incredible uniformity and vibrance.
Then we move onto the size of the modules, which we mentioned earlier in the review; they stand over 50mm tall in the middle. If you plan to use an AIO watercooling loop, this can be completely ignored, but check the clearance on your air cooler if you’re considering this purchase.
The RGB lighting looks great, performance is exactly as you’d expect but the tall heatsinks and lack of software are off-putting.
