Apacer NOX DIMM DDR5

Apacer is one of the biggest names in the business, and after today’s review, it’s pretty easy to see why. This isn’t the most attention grabbing memory kit, with a low-profile design and some relatively modest specifications, but it does strike a great ballance that resulted in very consistant and reliable performance, and for me, consistancy and reliability are high up on my list of wants from any computer hardware. The low profile design makes it very easy to accomodate into a wide veriaty of system builds. However, despite the compact size, the overall temperatures are pretty low, so overheating or any throttling simply isn’t going to be a concern here. The Samsung ICs are known to be the best on the market, so I’m happy to see them here, and they’re often some of the best when it comes to aftermarket overclocking. However, with the slimmer heatsinks, and how well they perform on their XMP 3.0 profile, I feel there’s no need to tinker with the otherwise great performance here. I also love that there’s no RGB. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love RGB and having that level of customisation, but it’s been nice in recent months to see the trend switch back to more understated designs and simpler aesthetics, and I think that’s also reflecting in slightly lower prices too, which is certainly a good thing too.
