Corsair Frag Harder Disco Lights RAM Harder

Hmm, I like these. Closest we'll ever get to having the old Tracey modules.
 
I wonder how these will compared to the GSKILL RGB modules. Last iteration, GSKILL won out because they did not require use of exclusively one kind of software control, being open to many including the standards Asus AURA Sync, and similars from MSI and Gigabyte etc. Corsair's by comparison required the use of a corsair lighting node. While Corsair has evolved and their latest RGB products and "iCUE" software is better than before, I would still hope to see their products interoperable with many standards. Especially as a Linux user, I'm none too fond of having to use a particular - often proprietary and sometimes Windows only - piece of software to configure RGB and whatnot. Hopefully these will be open to a wide range of control APIs and also be accessible from the motherboard/UEFI level too. If all that is true, I'd consider purchasing them for my next upgrade, though I begin to dread the cost.

My professional assessment is that these are brighter.
 
My rig can look like a mini casino.

I am annoyed at the Corsair penchant for proprietary software - Maybe provide a switch, software or otherwise, that lets you choose proprietary or open source interface. If your interface is better, people will use it.
 
I'm usually not a fan of RGB lights, but Corsair's rams do look nice in a build.

It seems like everybody is doing the same basic design now. I liked the exposed LED's in Crucial's DDR3 Tracer modules but for DDR4 they went with the same glowing lightbar look as everyone else.

Looks like their memory is supposed to work with Aura, but the fact that this thread was posted at all means it's YMMV. Or did you mean some other way of interacting with Aura other than the Aura software?

Have you seen the vendor pics from Comdex? Even the power cables now have RGB!

Call me when DIMMs come with UV blacklights on 'em. And can we get some UV-reactive RAM heatspreaders? Aaahhh my nForce 4 Ultra board from DFI, how I miss your UV-reactive slots and brackets and whatnot (DFI LANParty NF4 Ultra-D).
