No RGB and fairly reasonable branding that omits youngster-targeted naming! It still isn't quite bare green PCB with ICs levels of classy, but its a huge step in the right direction toward building or upgrading a meaningfully functional computer from parts.
The last two machines I built use GeiL memory, and I think the two before that do as well. Mainly for that reason - they don't have ridiculous-looking heatspreaders, RGB, or silly graphics. And the price is usually good at a particular size and speed. If you really want, they do make some pretty wild stuff with RGB, I'm just glad they offer fairly basic stuff that works good as well.
One of the first systems I built had Geil RAM. Pretty sure it was DDR2 and had simple flat anodized heatspreader that came in a few different colors and simple "Geil" logo badge in the center. Pretty much the best looking RAM ever.
No youngster-targeted naming? "Geil" is a German word for "horny", "sexually arousing" and/or the original meaning of "gay" (before it meant homosexual).

Geil makes the best-looking budget RGB RAM right now IMO. The only real competition is Team Vulcan, and their heat spreaders are huge and tacky.hMunster - Monday, June 15, 2020 - link
