We tried: GeIL EVO Veloce and EVO Leggera

We could list a lot of reliable and already proven brands, but it is also certain that by saying the word GeIL, RAMs come to mind immediately. What about this new series? You don't have to expect a lot of novelty. Both releases strengthen GeIL’s player-tuning line, but try to do it all at an affordable price. GeIL recommends them primarily for Intel-based motherboards, but of course they can also be used in AMD systems. For example, the four-channel EVO Veloce tested can be used for the Z77 platform, while the two-channel EVO Leggera set can work in any configuration with a two-channel controller.

The EVO Veloce and EVO Leggera are the same in timing, clock and voltage, but the ribs built on them are different. Of course, both ribs are made of aluminum, but while Veloce has received cooling at a height similar to the Corsa series introduced earlier, Leggera boasts a completely traditional solution. The ribs in the GeIL workshop are traditionally made in the spirit of MTCD (Maximum Thermal Conduction and Dissipation).

Not only in this regard, it is made according to the original and unadulterated GeIL recipe, but the modules are also "fried to a crisp" in the "ovens" (test machines) of the well-proven DBT (Die Hard Burn-in Technology). The stress test is performed at 100 degrees for 24 hours, the machine is capable of receiving and burning 1000 modules at the same time.

 

Honestly, I didn’t experience any sky-shattering innovations in the rib itself, in fact, I have to say, it wasn’t the best quality GieL rib I’ve ever seen. It is worth paying attention to the size of the EVO Veloce, as the rib is quite high, so on motherboards where the DIMM rails are close to the socket, in addition, a huge, wide heat sink is placed on the CPU, there may be a problem with the installation or should be used. There is no flaw in the design of the EVO Veloce, and it also boasts a burning red color. The Rib of the Leggera, on the other hand, as we have already written, is completely average, less striking in color, and has a turquoise finish.

 

Dual and Quad Channel KITs are available in this product category, of course the name Quad Channel should be understood to mean that the package contains four modules. The EVO Veloce came in a 2133 MHz (10-11-11-30) version in a 4 × 4 GB KIT, while the EVO Leggera came with the same specification but only in a 2 × 4 GB package. As described above, the factory operating voltage for both versions is 1,65 V.
