14 DAY TRIAL // While Apacer made a point of scoring on the enthusiast market, Exceleram seems to have kept things a bit more affordable, even though its latest products still mostly fit into the mid-to-high end segment.
Unlike Apacer, Exceleram did not need to implement any unusual cooling mechanism on its newest memory products.
The former saw the need to put in a raised heatsink and heatpipe in order to cope with the heat generated by the 2,000 MHz and 2,400 MHz frequencies.
Exceleram's offerings, however, all stick to the clock speed of 1,600 MHz, though they still feature their own, custom-designed heatsinks.
Two of the four kits are dual-channel ones with a capacity of 4 GB (they are composed of two 2 GB modules each), while the other two are triple-channel 6 GB ones (3 x 2GB).
One of the dual-channel offerings, dubbed ER3000A, has timings of 7-9-9-24 and sells for 63.18 Euro.
The other one, ERB300A, has its modules designed with 8-layer black PCBs (printed circuit boards) and operates at 6-8-6-24, its price being of 84.65 Euro.
The triple-channel ones are similarly distinguished. The ER3001A is priced at 93.24 Euro, (7-9-9-24 timings) while the ERB301A sells for 125.13 Euro.
The ERB301A, as one may have guessed, has modules with 8-layer black PCBs and timings of 6-8-6-24, like its dual-channel omologue.
“We already have customer requests for other Rippler Kits and we will consider them of course.” said Martim Reis Silva, Sales Director Exceleram.
“As a goody, there are also 2 highend kits with black 8layer PCB available. In the beginning the memory will be delivered in a noble aluminiumbox instead of plastic blister,” adds the press release.
The company means for the Rippler DDR3 to be used on LGA 1156 motherboards, much like what Apacer's own devices were created for.
