CONCLUSION
The Predator Talos line by Acer (BIWIN) may not be quite as impressive as the Predator Apollo line (not just due to the lack of RGB lighting but also because of the available frequencies and heatspreader finish/design) but it too stands out. Its heatspreaders are not only ideal for either black and/or white systems but their thickness also adds to their looks (the Zinc alloy should also help with temperatures). Stock performance is ok and just what you’d expect from an 3200MHz CL16 kit which unfortunately doesn’t get much direct competition in my charts (currently all other models are faster). Unfortunately, overclocking headroom was not quite what I was expecting and so I was only able to squeeze another 200MHz without going over 1.4V. Still if overclocking is your thing and you’re willing to go higher you should be able to hit much higher frequencies than I did with the Predator Talos kit.
Currently the Predator Talos 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 dual-channel kit by Acer retails for just USD107.99 inside the USA (Newegg.com) and for around 220Euros inside the EU so once again I find myself in front of a price gap which I’m unable to explain. This is also why I can honestly recommend checking the Predator Talos 32GB 3200MHz CL16 dual-channel kit by Acer out if you’re living on the other side of the Atlantic, it’s certainly worth that (as for the EU I can just hope Acer – BIWIN – resolves the mass difference in price).
