GALAX is getting ready for the DDR5 era, and while doing so the company has decided to do things differently. With DDR5, GALAX plans to offer PC builders highly customisable DDR5 modules with their GAMER RGB DDR5 series, offering users Lego-like block connectors on top of their upcoming designs. DDR5 will enter the PC market this year with Intel's Alder Lake series processors, with Galax launching memory with 4800 MHz speeds and dual-channel 16GB kits. In the future, 2x8GB and 2x32GB kits are planned. 

With their latest DIMM designs, GALAX is offering PC builders an aesthetic that is part Lego and part Tetris. Galax has previously released products with Lego-like block functions with their RTX 30 series GAMER graphics cards. using these blocks, PC builders can attach to their PCs anything they wish to make their PC unique. 
 
The ARGB lighting within these new GAMER RGB series modules can be augmented using clear bricks, allowing the lights on these modules to transmit different colours to provide a unique look. These modules will be available with red and blue colour options. 

Expreview's report on these DIMMs does not mention overclocked modules or performance levels that sit beyond DDR5's JEDEC-4800 specifications. Like all GAMER series products from Galax, these GAMER series memory modules are expected to launch exclusively in China.
 
I like the 'lego' style design.

    Lego? They look more like Tetris pieces, which is more about fitting the correct parts together to get to the next level.

    I agree they look like Tetris, wasted a lot of time with that game.  I wonder about putting designs on the side of ram sticks, you can't see them when they are in place.

    It says the blocks are clear so the light shines through, and I really hope that is true!
