A Closer Look
With the memory out of the box, we get to have a proper look at it, the front is mostly plain, it is white with grey stripes across the middle, almost like it’s a racing stripe.
The backside of the memory is identical in terms of design but features the addition of informational stickers.
From the top, we can see that the memory has a very clean looking light bar, with a simple logo in the centre. Both sides of the heat spreader come all the way up to be flush with the light bar, this could ruin the RGB look for me a bit, as I am a sucker for clean and uninterrupted looking RGB.
With the heat spreaders removed from the memory, we can see that this is an eight chip design, each chip being 1GB of the total capacity of the DIMM.
The chips in question are made by NANYA, a Taiwanese company who have over 20 years experience in creating DRAM chips.
There isn’t much at the back of the PCB, we can see the eight LEDs that make up the RGB on this stick and not much else.
Speaking of RGB, this is what it looks like when you have all four memory slots populated with these sticks. To demonstrate the RGB we used four sticks, but for testing we only used two as this is what is included in the box when you buy this kit, and we want to be as fair as possible in all our testing.
I might buy this!
