A Closer Look at the Lexar Hades RGB DDR4 32GB Kit

The Lexar Hades comes in a standard DDR4 form with a set of heat sinks on each side of the module and a 288 pin interface.  The modules have 137.8 mm x 45.6 mm x 6.2 mm dimensions and should have no issues being installed in most motherboards.  To amplify and soften the micro-LED glow, Lexar uses translucent white LED covers.

Both heatsink sides of the RAM module are held together via double-sided non-conductive electrical tape.  With a little force, you can take these modules apart in no time.  Micro LEDs are placed on one side of the module, and the DDR4 RAM chips are placed on the opposite side.

The Chips found on these modules are Spectek (Division of Micron) and ENE Technology.  ENE 6K5830UA0 chip is an MCU chip that is responsible for the LED operations and customization.  The Spectek 062E chip is a DDR4 RAM chip that operates at 3600Mbps frequency and has a capacity of 2048MB.  The latency of this kit is CL22 / CL18-22-22-42 (3600).  It is also worth mentioning that these modules feature a cache-less design.
