The Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz RAM has a high level of compatibility. It is backward compatible with Intel and AMD series systems. This pattern is in the shape of a claw. On top, the unique and clever heat spreader design incorporates the panther’s claws. It includes XMP 2.0 overclocking that is simple and easy to use, and it consumes very little power. The Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz Desktop RAM comes with a Lifetime warranty.
Today we are reviewing Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz memory. This is a successor to the Panther Rage Illumination and the Panther Rage. The first thing that you’ll notice is the claw-shaped design of the heat spreader. The Apacer Panther Rage RGB, yes, you’ve guessed it right – comes with RGB lighting, and this feature is very common in RAM nowadays, almost becoming the standard across all brands.
Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz kit that arrived consists of two 8GB 3200 MHz DDR4 modules. It’s the fastest one in the line-up, and it’s the optimal variant. Still, we are obviously going to check if anything more can be squeezed out of this set. You can always stay on the safe and stick to the advertised frequency + latencies using the Intel XMP 2.0 memory profile. Unfortunately, not really much information was provided on the manufacturer’s website, and something more (like QVL list) would have definitely been appreciated.
Panther Rage RGB is available with the heat spreaders in two colours; black or a golden. The Panther Rage RGB offer starts at 2400 MHz CL16 and ends at 3200 MHz CL16. There are 8, 16, and 32 GB variants
Today, we are going to review the first, probably more popular variant. Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz lighting effects are customizable through Asus Aura Sync software. The reviewed kit aims at the mid-range segment of the market, and we received a standard 16 GB DRAM kit. A standard three-year warranty is provided for the modules. The memory is optimized for use with the latest Intel motherboards, and processors, and there’s no mention of the AMD Ryzen platform. Apacer has cooperated with Asus TUF Gaming when developing the series. For our test, Apacer supplied a dual (2 x 8GB) black DDR4 kit rated at 3200 MHz with CL16 (nominal for this frequency), which is ideal for Z370 systems (dual-channel).
Let’s start with some marketing. Apacer announced the introduction of its new Panther Rage RGB Series Performance DDR4 Memory Kits in June.
Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz angular asymmetrical design and golden-mirrored material refract a riot of colors. The use of highly transparent materials makes Panther’s prism-like teeth more vivid. The competition looks downright dull in comparison. By integrating with Aura Sync, it gives users complete control of the light show. It has multiple patterns to add in the future and allows the synchronization of different devices. Users can effortlessly customize patterns to reflect their personalities. In addition, Apacer has teamed up with ASUS TUF Gaming to design a new edition which integrates Apacer’s PANTHER with the solid, durable and camouflaged force from TUF gaming. It shows the determination to thrive on every battlefield.
Apacer Panther Golden 8GB 3200MHz is capable of high clock rate and low latency, offering options in 2400/2666/2800/3000/3200MHz. Users can overclock on Intel XMP 2.0 without manual adjustments on BIOS parameters. Available in 8GB, and 16GB, this memory module can be combined up to a total of 128GB memory on Intel motherboards to achieve mind-blowing performance.
To ensure superior stability, Apacer has also deployed professional technologies for industrial DRAM, including a highly efficient heat spreader and quality IC. It can operate effectively at low voltage and reduce the need for heat release. With an incredible potential for overclocking, heat spread, stability, and excellent value, PANTHER RAGE DDR4 RGB is ready to blow away its rivals and become the leading light in DRAM. “
Ok, now that this part has been handled, we can check what we have on the table. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die.
According to the program, the chips under the “hood” are the Samsung B-Die (in 20 nm process), famous for its overclocking potential. That sounds good. The heat spreader was sitting very tight, and I didn’t want to damage the memory when removing it.
