14 DAY TRIAL // With how eager oveclockers always get when it comes to pushing their CPUs and memory over the top, it is always a requirement that the memory modules have good cooling solutions, and Apacer seems to have put special effort into delivering on this need.
What Apacer reportedly did was develop a couple of dual-channel memory kits that use what it calls advanced memory chips.
They both have a capacity of 4 GB and work on a current of 1.65 V, but are differentiated from each other through their clock speed.
Basically, they are both composed of two 2 GB modules each. One kit runs at 2,000 MHz, while the other one has an operating frequency of 2,400 MHz.
Of course, as one would suspect, such specifications obviously rely on a cooling prowess of the same level.
As such, Apacer employed a copper heatpipe which draws head away from the heatspreader and leads it away to a suspended heatsink, raised above the module itself.
“Apacer’s overclocking memory modules are indeed the top enablers for gamers.” said Grace Lo, Associated Vice President of Apacer Commodity Business Unit.
“Copper heat pipes have a higher thermal conductivity for effective heat dissipation, so it helps maintain cool temperatures while providing a stable overclocking performance,” Lo added.
“Among the pluses of heat pipe is the ability to achieve effective heat dissipation without producing any noise, which helps create a quiet and comfortable overclocking environment. Also, the heat pipe offers heat dissipation without the need of regular cleaning and maintenance,” Lo went on to saying.
To more obviously imply the kits' suitability for high-end systems and overclocking scenarios, Apacer named its latest duo ARES.
Apacer intends the newcomers to be used on Intel LGA 1156 platforms but has not given any exact pricing or availability details.
