Couple of months ago we had a pleasure to review G.Skill ARES DDR3-2133 memory kit. Even though ARES isn’t G.Skill’s highest RAM series, it performed as good as best available memory kits. Also with low profile design it’s much easier to use it with large air coolers.
Now in my hands is renewed ARES series, this time in DDR3-2400 version. Higher clocks are especially designed for Z87 motherboards but should also work on older Intel chipsets.
