After quite a lengthy development process, the Raiden series from AVEXIR has been launched, a product which reminds us of the Raiden character of Mortal Kombat which was able to shoot lightning out its hands in order to electrocute its opponents. These modules are a bit more peaceful :) , sporting plasma tubes in a blue color, which bring an unique effect to any gaming/overclocking or regular build.
Our long-time friends at AVEXIR have recently sent us a kit from their most interesting memory series at the moment: Raiden. The Raiden is not your run-of-the-mill kit with fancy LEDs placed on top in order to create a regular lighting effect but integrates plasma tubes for mimicking a continuous lightning effect. This type of effect was not obtained easily and required quite some time of research in order to perfect the design. Let’s take a closer look! The product is shipped inside a custom-made cardboard enclosure, featuring the product logo on top:
On the back side, AVEXIR makes sure to give us an in-depth description about the product, along with an authenticity sticker and a QR code (for checking out more service/warranty information):
The Raiden memory modules are packed inside two-by-two, in transparent plastic mold:
Besides this type of protection, AVEXIR has also included golden finger protectors for each of the modules, to prevent oxidizing (which will ultimately lead to errors in tests or unbootable systems if not cleaned properly):
The Raiden modules are considerably taller versus most of the memory modules out there, which may pose some clearance issues when used with air coolers and this is why we strongly recommend going with AIO water cooling for the processor this time; besides the signature white/blue color, they also come with red and black accents (Red Tesla, ROG optimized), but also green as it could be seen at Computex 2016:
The reason for the tall module is basically because the plasma tubes require extra electronic components in order to operate; on top the Raiden Tube Type I gets mounted and further down we do have the Raiden logical IC along with the Raiden energy source. It is also useful to mention that each module is featuring a 10-layer PCB for maximum thermal conduction, double copper PCB for increasing overclocking abilities, while ever single memory IC is examined by AVEXIR IC Sorting Technology for ensuring that it works as intended when operating at the pre-programmed XMP timings, speed and voltage:
The white layer of the shroud does also feature an AVEXIR debossed logo:
