Thermaltake, a leading brand in premium PC DIY hardware, has launched the “2024 Thermaltake RAM MOD Invitational,” an annual competition celebrating global modding talent. This year’s event invites six modders from Austria, Italy, Japan, Thailand, and the UK to transform the TOUGHRAM XG RGB D5 DDR5 Memory. Participants have a set timeframe to modify the RAM heatsinks while preserving the original design and layout of the modules. Modders can create stands or platforms for their designs but must keep the RAM modules intact.
Competing for a share of a $5,000 prize pool, contestants will be judged on originality, design concept, final photos, and video quality. Modders who build a stand must present both with and without the stand in their submissions. Judging will involve Thermaltake officials, the CEO, and a panel of expert modders, with community members contributing 30% to the final scores. Participants can also win additional prizes such as the TOUGHRAM XG RGB Memory DDR4 and the View 270 TG ARGB Matcha Green Mid Tower Chassis by joining the Tt community and supporting their favorite modder.
