Technically great but lackluster RGB implementation
21 November 2018
The key selling point of this RAM is the RGB. Despite having "Asus Aura Sync Compatible" in the advertising it has bare minimum compatibility and only if you're running a completely up to date version of Aura (late 2018 revision). Kingston offers a "fix" which unfortunately doesn't work.
Static works fine and the colours shine through evenly and beautifully. Unfortunately; Static is the only effect that works as intended.
Breathing, Color Cycle and Rainbow effects "technically" work, but they will be out of sync with no way to sync them up.
Any other effect (Starlight, Yoyo, Shooting Star etc) will cause the modules to revert to a rainbow ... View MoreThe key selling point of this RAM is the RGB.

Kingston has put the blame on Asus for offering no support and says it's on Asus to make it work properly, and Asus has said that it's on Kingston to make their modules work with the Aura standard. It would appear this is an issue that will never be resolved.
Beyond that the RAM functions entirely as expected - nothing to report on that front.
If you're looking for a systemwide sync of nice effects I'd recommend tested and verified modules like the Trident.Z or Team Group stuff.
Thank You

RAM good, RGB not so good
24 November 2018
Bought two kits on black friday ( for 32GB what a deal - Uni store had stock hehe).
However, the RGB does not work with aura sync as advertised - only static colour works, any of the other effects are out of sync.
Also can't turn off the RGB lighting (without disabling all other lights such as motherboard/RGB strip).
Would go for another brand or non-RGB variant, only got this because of the insane bf deal.Bought two kits on black friday ( for 32GB what a deal - Uni store had stock hehe).

Bit of a disappointment
17 November 2018
Good RAM by all functional means. But when it comes to features, unfortunately does not sync with any RGB software I've tried. Including Asus Aura, HyperX NGenuity, Corsair C-link4. Even went as far as to set the RAM to auto rather than XMP and changing the SPD writing feature. Even updating the motherboard BIOS. No luck though, I'd be greatful just to have a static colour or even being able to switch off the LEDs. Wouldn't recommend unless you're going for a rainbow build.Good RAM by all functional means.

Great ram but poor RGB control
23 September 2019
Works as described but the RGB control is horrid and gets picked up by easy anti cheat, so a majority of multiplayer games wont allow you to play unless you uninstall the software that controls RGB. But now you cant control the RGB.Works as described but the RGB control is horrid and gets picked up by easy anti cheat, so a majority of multiplayer games wont allow you to play unless you uninstall the software that controls RGB.

Solid RAM - never bothered with RGB
21 January 2019
Fast-as. Easy to install. Has pretty lights. What more could you want? Can't comment on the Aura integration since that wasn't my main reason for buying.Fast-as. Easy to install. Has pretty lights.

Solid RAM

The RAM is very stable and does what it is supposed to do. I don't care about the RGB and have not tried to do anything with it. It just does it's thing and blinks away in the background.The RAM is very stable and does what it is supposed to do. I don't care about the RGB and have not tried to do anything with it.
