Memory kits are usually the least interesting thing we show you on this page. After all, it's a stick, and most heat-spreaders are fairly interchangeable. It's nice to see that the Avexir kit has a couple of nice touches though.

Most obviously is the yellow and black colour scheme, designed to match the MSI motherboard. So many memory kits are blue, red or black that we are glad to see something going down a different route, and anyone with a MPOWER or even Zotac motherboard will enjoy having a kit that blends into their mobo. The sticks come with plastic protectors for the ever delicate fingers. It's those small touches that really make the difference, especially in such a crowded market as RAM.

The big party piece though is the blue LEDs across the top. If you remember how much we loved the Corsair Dominator for its looks, this is just as eye-catching at a fraction of the price. The blue lighting has a breathing effect and is tremendously bright.

Very interesting would look great with subtle blue accented gear and what bang for buck let just hope it stands the test of time.

Oof, that's quite lovely.

The blue LEDs are just a little too light - though I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to amend with a bit of masking.

That's so funny, I was just looking at the Avexir memory kits last night and wondering just how good they were. They also make the LED effect in red, green, white, orange, and yellow, and have interchangeable heatspreader designs that you can order for them (the red version of the MPOWER design they showcase here, and a plain gunmetal black version). Should you choose to do so you can individually select all of these items to customize the memory yourself through their website... they even go so far as to allow you to customize what the PART NUMBER reads in something like CPU-Z, and you can get something etched onto the heat spreader.

I would imagine that this all costs a pretty penny however, as this is all done DIRECT through Avexir and shipped DIRECT from Avexir... WERTH IT!

Was looking at a set of these for my test rig a little while back. Glad to see they reviewed well
