We received the blue 16GB ARES kit from G.Skill which looks very nice indeed. They are shipped in a sturdy blister pack which will work well in a retail store environment.

This kit is the DDR3-2133-PC3-17000 4GBx4 with XMP timings CL9-11-10 @ 1.65 volts. G.Skill also sell other variants with looser, lower performance timings.

The heatspreaders are lovely, a shiny metallic blue cooler and the trademark G.Skill curves at the top and bottom.

We carefully prised the heatspreader apart to get a closer look at the OEM partner. G.Skill are using high grade HYNIX memory – H5TQ2G83CFR. These are CMOS Double Data Rate III (DDR3) Synchronous DRAM, ideally suited for applications which require large memory density and high bandwidth.
