INTRODUCTION

   Upgrading your RAM and adding a new SSD are the two best ways to improve the overall performance of your system (applicable to both desktops and laptops) especially if you're simply unwilling to dig deeper into your wallet to also include the mainboard and the CPU. Still today much like many hardware components and peripherals consumers can also choose for their brand new memory modules to also feature RGB lighting so gone are the days when they only needed to pick a set based on the desired amount/size, frequency and CAS latency/timings (also based on the type of chips used for enthusiasts and overclockers). Kingmax may not be among the most popular RAM manufacturers in the market but they do have a rather long history behind them and so today we decided to take a closer look at their rather impressive looking Zeus Dragon DDR4 RGB Gaming RAM Kits.

   A world-renowned professional manufacturer of RAM modules and memory cards, KINGMAX Group has prided itself as a leader in the memory storage industry ever since it was founded in Taiwan in 1989. The company not only possesses strong capabilities in research and development as well as unique patented technologies, it is also the world's first manufacturer to vertically integrate packaging and testing facilities to provide the customer with the best memory products. Founder and Chairman Liu Fu-Chou leads the group with forward-thinking product development strategies, market-leading technological capabilities, a comprehensive customer service system, and professional, pragmatic operation and management. Marketing high quality technological products to the world and developing a brand with an international image is the group's long-time principle as well as its goal.

   The Zeus Dragon DDR4 RGB line by Kingmax currently includes single 8/16GB modules and dual-channel 16/32GB kits (for our quad channel test rig we had to pair two 16GB kits) with frequencies all the way up to 3466MHZ (2666/3000/3200/3466MHZ) and timings as low as CL16 (2666MHz CL17 - 3000MHz CL16 - 3200MHZ CL16 - 3466MHZ CL17). The entire Zeus Dragon DDR4 RGB line makes use of anodized aluminum heat spreaders (silver in color) inside which Kingmax has placed an RGB LED lighting bar (although there's no control software available for download from the company these modules are fully compatible with all the leading mainboard RGB sync technologies including ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASROCK Polychrome Sync) along with single-rank 8GB memory modules by Samsung. A limited 5-year warranty by Kingmax covers the entire Zeus Dragon DDR4 RGB line.
