Apacer Unveils its Ares DDR3-3000 Memory
Apacer’s Ares series of overclocking memory aims to bring “overclocking techniques to a new level” and offer “excellent computing efficiency to audio / video workers.”
Apacer has launched its Ares series of overclocking memory that previously made an appearance at this year’s Computex conference where it set a new record for air-cooled overclocking by achieving a clock rate of 3226 MHz.
The Ares series features “strictly tested high-end guaranteed memory chips,” an eight-layer PCB that reduces interference and improves signal quality and overclocking stability, and a “professional cooling system” that utilizes large cooling fins and pure copper for better thermal conduction.
The Apacer Ares series of memory will be initially available in kits of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) and 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) with stock clock rates of 2800 MHz, 2933 MHz and 3000 MHz.
Lawsuit time.
Unless your using a liquid cooler.
1. What happens when the CPU clock is lower than RAM clock?
2. Are there mobos any available in market who support these RAMs?
this means those of us with large air coolers cannot use the memory + have a large heatsink for the CPU.
ASUS/g.skill product confusion. Check.
Crappy under performing, single sided ICs. Check.
Overpriced? You bet.
Latency is almost constant in terms of nanoseconds with modern DRAMs averaging around 6ns.
With some of the fastest RAM clocking 1600-8-8-8 (5ns), I would not be surprised if those DIMMs were timed something like 3000-16-16-16. (5.3ns)
There's also Ares GPUs, but this is a closer competitor.
Coolers make more sense though.
