The heatspreader is designed to enhance heat dissipation allowing better tweaks and overclocks. As a result this is not 100% low profile memory though. The idea is that heat is moved away from the actual memory chips and this increases potential overclocking and stability. Still with this design any cooler in close vicinity of the memory should install just fine. Thanks to that metal bar the memory is very sturdy and can be inserted into the DIMM slots with ease.
This memory is also about good looks so I decided to throw in these extra photos as these photo above says it all really.
The PCB has eight layers with a total of two ounces of copper.
The memory used is 2933 MHz which you can use on Intel based systems. In the BIOS just flick the XMP 1.3 compatible profile, and you'll be up and running at advertised speeds. The memory itself is compatible with most Intel Z77/Z87/Z97 platforms. Mind you that low latency 1600 MHz kits are available as well, shaving off a lot of the pricing.
