RAM is often not considered properly in the whole ‘putting a PC together’ process. As long as there is enough of it, it should be fine, right?

But high performance RAM is a great thing to have. Sure, having lots of RAM will help the system speed along, but the high performance stuff not only works better – it also opens up the opportunity of effective overclocking.

Transcend has a decent reputation when it comes to memory, and their axeRam range shows the kind of thought they put into their products. Each module is encased by a heavy aluminium heat sink that doesn’t fold over, but increases the cooling surface by sporting a double ridge of ‘spines.’

This RAM performs admirably under strain, and works very well with multi-GPU gaming systems. It also carries a lifetime warranty, which is never a bad thing. The aluminium fins mean that heat is dissipated extremely effectively, making it a good option for overclockers.

The solid construction hints at excellent performance, which is exactly what you will be getting from this great Transcend product, thanks in part to a careful selection process that makes the RAM ideal for dual channel uses.
