Some motherboards go in all for LEDS; others, like Asus' TUF motherboards, opt for a more rugged, industrial kind of look – which can make buying RAM for the latter a bit of a nightmare if you can't stand the idea of blinking rainbows or, heaven forbid, even the smallest dash of colour interfering with your PC's serious military vibe.

Say hello to the 3D-printable Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB DDR4 gaming RAM. That's right. You can 3D-print your own light bar onto each 8GB or 16GB module - and you can…
Feature: 16 is twice as good as 8. Probably
Do not glaze over. Or leg it in favour of a CaptainSparklez binge session on YouTube. We're going to muscle through this together. By 'this' I mean the not-obviously-scintillating matter of system memory, also known as RAM. More specifically, I'm talking about two key questions. Does it matter what kind of memory you use?
