They look nice.

Would prefer them in red though.

Jim - get some to match your bloodrage.

These or the Corsair GT's are on my list for sure

Oh crap Jim now has to choose between Dominator GT or these. Both are good so go for the performance ones lol.

For aesthetics then this is the way to go.

Bit pricey tho'.

I ordered a set of the DDR2 for my AM2 system on monday, so as long as they preform as nicely as this lot I will be happy.. and the LEDs look so great.

Too bad that the chips don't have red led's instead of the green.

The red would be perfect for your case!

Do I see another mod happening here?

Give him a month

Haha even I know my limits. Unsoldering those tiny LED's using a gas soldering iron is NOT a good idea

I hope the lights on these are not as bright as on my DDR2 sticks,these buggers light up the whole bloody room!!

Just keep a fan running on it. It will be OK.

One can only assume that the different coloured heatsinks (Red, Blue and Green) would be matched by the same colour LED's but don't quote me on that.

By that I meant that red would have red led's, blue would have blue. I would like to think so anyway.

They look good in lellow

When i go i7

These are noted!

I still think Patriot's Viper Series Heatspreaders looks better than gimmicky LEDs. What do they do to help the memory perform better?

 

[Lynx]

They dont, they help the theme of your build

They perform well and look good.
