Gigabyte / Aorus is well known for their reliable motherboards and video cards. Like most companies, they are slowly diversifying their catalog branching into other markets; today they are expanding their product line into memory. I believe they are the first motherboard manufacturer that is daring to step into the memory market.

As it is their first memory kit, Aorus has released one version of the memory kit, at the popular 16GB size (2 x 8GB). At first glance, their first memory kit looks impressive, it has a sleek brushed aluminum heatsink, impressive specs at 3200MHz with 16-18-18-38 timings, and even breaking into the RGB craze. Let’s take a quick look at the retail kit and the memory before doing some tests. The Aorus RGB 3200MHz 16GB memory kit that we are reviewing today is available under part number GP-AR32C16S8K2SU416R for $219.99 shipped.
