A Closer Look
Well, as I said, Corsair has gone big with the heat spreaders on their latest memory kit and they look pretty fantastic! Style is subjective, I know, but I think you’ll be hard-pushed to think otherwise about this design. It’s a little tall, so some CPU coolers could conflict, so be sure to measure that up first. However, the increased size is going to offer significant cooling benefits, ensuring overall memory performance is maintained when it’s being pushed harder.
The taller design is also a little on the thick side, with the upper section swelling out a little, allowing for a thicker spine to offer up more LED light bar space, but again, more mass in the aluminium means more heat capacity too.
There’s a light texture and detail printed on the aluminium too, it’s like a bunch of circles made from triangles that look like Trivial Pursuit blocks. It’s subtle, but it catches the light and just adds a little depth to the overall design.
Overall, with a black PCB, dark grey and light grey aluminium, and those huge RGB light bars, this is by far some of the nicest-looking RAM we’ve ever had in the office, and it’s sure to look great in virtually any PC build.
And now, a little demonstration of the RGB.
