Packaging, we show you everything my man -- we always start off with packaging so you know what to look for in the stores -- it's as simple as that really.
Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. These are 8GB 3,000 MHz DIMMs in a kit of 2x DIMMs. nice design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. Intel XMP version 2.0 if of course supported. These kits are available in a version with white or black heatspreader.
As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latencies of 16-18-18-38 at 1.35 Volts, and that your average latency for this type of memory. For optimal stability we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer suggested settings at default SPD or that preconfigured XMP profile.
We like the black PCB and the shiny white heatspreader, styling wise (hey it matters in a high-end cool looking rig) this is a very tasteful kit as well as aesthetically wise. In the top the RGB LEDs reside. You will not need to connect any wires, these feed of and over the DIMM slots. The kit is dual-channel and if you buys two sets, obviously quad-channel with a supported processor and motherboard.
These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as default minimum, 16GB for a little extra in your spicy gaming rig and 32GB for the ones that use memory intensive applications / do memory intensive transcoding and/or content creation. If you pick therse 3000 MHz CL16 DIMMS you are looking at roughly 10 bucks per GB as investment.
