The NOX series from the Taiwanese brand Apacer includes exclusively overclocking memory with high-quality cooling, decent overclocking potential, optional backlighting and an optimal choice of operating frequencies. A typical Nox module is a DDR4-class RAM with a clock frequency of 3200/3600 MHz, CL16/CL18 latency and operating voltage in the range from 1.2 to 1.35 V. Since the series is positioned as an overclocker, all modules are equipped with high-quality memory chips and necessarily support the technology Intel XMP, which automatically selects optimal memory settings after system startup.


In terms of design, the NOX series can be divided into 2 categories: the first includes low-profile overclocking modules with a ribbed gray radiator, the second includes NOX RGB strips with a single-color metal radiator and a slightly raised comb, inside which RGB LEDs with support for 16.8 million shades are hidden. Considering that Apacer does not have its own backlight synchronization system, the manufacturer has provided support for utilities from other manufacturers, including Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

The Apacer NOX series range includes both single modules and dual-channel kits with capacities from 4 to 32 GB. Most of them belong to the DDR4 class and are available in versions with operating frequencies from 2666 to 3600 MHz and timings a la CL16-16-16-36. Given the popularization of the DDR5 format, the manufacturer announced the release of corresponding memory modules several years ago, but by the end of 2023, NOX DDR5 modules are not found very often. Occasionally you can also find NOX laptop sticks and frankly outdated DDR3 format models on sale.
