I bought these four years ago, with no problems. They look great; I plan on using them on my next build. It is an inexpensive way to have RGB RAM, and easy to install

Got three of these for an older PC rebuild a while back (two were a gift, one was a replacement + spare). This PC uses DDR3 memory, which was before the RGB craze really took off in general, and to compound that it's getting harder to find new DDR3 in the modern day and age. As such, the only real option for getting RGB memory on that type of RAM is to use aftermarket heat spreaders like these.The actual "heat spreader" bit of the product is simple enough. There are some thermal pads that stick to the RAM and some spacers, and you slap them around the RAM and screw them together. On the two sticks of RAM that I have, they fit just fine, but if you have RAM with preinstalled heat spreaders you'll need to remove those (protip: use a hot air gun to weaken any adhesive that may be present. I learned this the hard way). There are some rather annoying logos on the spreaders, but it's easy enough to just orient the metal such that those sides both face each other, rendering them invisible to the outside world.The RGB is where things get iffy. Underneath the plastic light diffuser, there's a thin PCB with addressable WS2812 LEDs underneath, and a cable that then plugs into the standard addressable RGB pin headers (the type you'd find on most non-Gigabyte motherboards, though for Gigabyte motherboards it comes with an adapter). For controlling multiple strips, there's splitters at the end of each cable that you can use to daisy chain additional stuff. You won't be able to individually control each LED on each stick when doing it like this, as functionally speaking multiple strips will behave like one strip. This may be annoying depending on your use case, but it's not unsolvable.The problem with the RGB is that you can get strips with varying levels of uniformity in color and brightness, and if the strip begins moving underneath the diffuser (which is very easy for it to do, as it's mostly just held in place by friction) it'll affect how clearly each LED shows through. Ideally, you want the LEDs to sit as close to the bottom of the diffuser channel as possible to spread the light out sufficiently, but without modifying the product and adding some adhesive to the bottom of the strip you'll probably be jiggling the cable to achieve the ideal positioning required.As for my own experience with this, the first set that I had received as a gift had one stick of LEDs DOA. When I later purchased a replacement set, both sticks worked but one had noticeably different colors than the other. It did match up with the remaining stick from the first set, though, so I was able to swap the diffuser bars out and had no issues from then on.I guess my ultimate verdict is that if you don't have any other options for RGB RAM, these will work well for you (assuming you get a spare or two and have RAM without integrated heat spreaders, just in case). Just wish there was better QC on them.

Installed two of these is my Alienware Aurora R13 PC. Since Alienware uses proprietary rgb headers, you need to buy a separate three-pin rgb controller with SATA plug to hook them up from the EZYDIY light kit to an Alienware motherboard SATA header in order to control them. So, I bought the DS Mini ARGB PC Fans Controller Kit for Rainbow Case Fans, PC Rainbow LED Strip (3-pin, 14 key Remote, SATA Power, B Series). That's a long name but short story is this is a great combo. The remote controller allows for various color and intensity settings. don't, know why Alienware didn't put rgb kits on their memory in the first place. They really make the case pop.

I use Corsair's Vengeance RGB Pro on my main gaming PC and love them. However, I needed a solution for my Dual Xeon Linux server, this is where these RGB heatsinks come in. For this server I have ECC DDR4 memory, which you cannot get preinstalled RGBs for. Also since server boards don't have RGB headers I had to purchase ASUS ROG Terminal which I ran the USB cable to my Windows PC right next to it with ASUS's AURA software (there is no Linux version of compatible RGB software that I know of). Although it had added costs, these made a good solution for my specific situation. Initially they worked fine, although you can see each little LED bulb lit up, so you can tell the light is not evenly diffusing properly. But for a $20 product I can't complain much and would give it a 4/5.Until a few days later when I noticed LEDs already starting to fail. This is frustrating cause of all the cable management already done to clean up all the RGB header cables, now I have to look into possibly replacing or finding a new solution completely if these things have a limited life expectancy. For a Linux Server that is meant to be on 24/7/365, it's not promising at all that these things are already showing signs of failure within the first few days.

These worked well with my setup and the timing on them was perfect, no lag during transitions, seen that on a few components. After three months one of the leds went bad and it's the blue circuit. It's not a big deal, but it does make it look a little sloppy now. Would be nice to get a replacement, but it's past the 30 day window. Not sure how long these are supposed to last, but if they are starting to have errors this soon then I hope it's isolated to this one component. I added a photo with the brightness turned down so you can see the bad led. The diffusion on that one bad one is pretty bad, the rest aren't too bad, but my DDR5 mem on my new Asrock Steel Legend looks way better. I'll update this review if anything changes in the next couple of months.

ProsThey are easy to installThey look greatHigh quality heat spreaderYou can fit w next to each other , but it is tightConsWiresThey are a bit tall and could be in the way of a processor coolerDo not work with asus software. It is not detected. I tried a 3rd party software and it did work along with everything else the asus software did not see.Did I say wires ?

This is my 2nd time buying these and I have been very happy with them. You can daisy chain them all together and I have them ran from Aura Sync on my 5V motherboard header. The LED's are very bright and smooth. I will buy these again if I get new RAM. Why pay a premium for RGB ram when you can just add these for a lot less. The 12V ones are just single colors and the 5V ones are addressable meaning you can change any of the 8 RGB LEDS on each ram slot. GREAT BUY, Thank you!!!!!
