That’s minus when I was pushing the memory to its absolute limits with literally dozens upon dozens of open Chrome tabs, a game running on Ultra settings ( Kena: Bridge of Spirits), Elgato’s FaceCam recording through OBS, a YouTube livestream playing, Adobe photo editing software open, plus several Xbox and Steam game downloads happening in the background.ĭuring these real-world heavy load stress tests, I did experience significant system slowdown, though to Lexar’s credit, my game never crashed and performance returned to normal once I pared Chrome down to twenty-ish open tabs. I’ve now spent about two weeks gaming with Lexar’s Hades DDR4, and so far, I haven’t experienced any crashes, freezes, stutterings or lock-ups.

NZXT’s H510 cases would be a perfect fit.

Also, it should go without saying, but you’ll be needing something like clear tempered glass on your PC tower to appreciate these RGBs - something tinted, opaque or closed-off entirely sort of defeats the purpose. Definitely not the best I’ve seen on memory sticks, and you can easily see very visible hotspots, essentially the individual light units, across the translucent white strips atop the heat spreaders. Also, I ran into a strange glitch with RGB Fusion that made the LEDs stutter during certain patterns, so I ended up ditching Gigabyte’s software and going back to Lexar’s program. I did some testing with Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion, and while it worked okay for the most part, there weren’t as many lighting options as Lexar’s software. You can also control the Hades’ lighting through different RGB software, like MSI’s Mystic Light, Asus’ Aura Sync, and Asrock Polychrome Sync. There are actually a decent amount of lighting options here, including interesting presets like ‘Comet’ and ‘Glowing YoYo’ as well as some of the more common patterns we’ve come to expect from other gaming RGB products like ‘Wave’ and ‘Rainbow’.

Lexar RGB Sync is the Hades’ included companion software, and this is where you can adjust all the LED lighting atop the sticks. That said, they shouldn’t interfere too much with anything inside your PC case, though if you’ve got a particularly bulky AIO, it could present as a problem. The heat spreaders and LED strips are relatively conservative and downright tasteful in relation to other gaudy memory offerings, presenting as mostly hard lines and no outwardly jutting ridiculousness.
