Overview

Avexir’s Blitz Series 1.1 memory modules are clearly something unique. No other memory vendor on the market offers such a wide variety of designs and colours perfectly suited for a huge number of motherboards. Neither does any memory vendor on the market offer LED lighting on such a wide variety of memory module designs. Avexir have gone all out in terms of speeds and capacities, with 1600MHz to 3200MHz kits and 8 to 32GB capacities there is going to be something for everyone’s needs. You just cannot fault the Avexir Blitz Series 1.1 memory on its looks and variety of designs, styles, speeds and features. In terms of overclocking we’re equally as impressed. With a 1600MHz kit we were expecting maybe a modest jump to 1800MHz, or 1866MHz at a push. However, I was literally gobsmacked that we were able to get as high as 2200MHz with CL10 latencies. If these modules are anything to go by then the entire Avexir Blitz Series 1.1 will overclock very well.

Pros

Avexir lifetime warranty
Black PCBs

Cons
