The G.Skill Sniper memory arrives in a simple blister pack which offers reasonable shipping protection.
The memory is nicely finished in an army style black heatspreader which is only marginally larger than the PCB itself. This means no fitting problems underneath a heavy duty CPU cooler such as the Noctua NH D14.
A simple colour scheme but one that works well. The reverse side has the specifications sticker showing the model name and timings as well as voltage.
The memory is formed around a black PCB design which looks great.
I really value the fact that they are dropping voltages on memory, its long overdue and I applaud them for doing it
I really dig the heatspreader design, im not a fan of the giant kingston ones, its too restrictive now, no need for it.
lets hope they all get performance memory down to these voltages, will help reduce heatspreaders design also.
I really think this is a great kit and better than the kingston stuff you reviewed last week. lower voltage, better OC, smaller heatsinks. Id like to see a review of a 3 way 4GB kit (12GB) for X58.
Garry, only thing is with three sticks in the mix, the OC can be worse. would be interesting to read though, even though I dont have X58
Good kit, the prices lately are brilliant, 80 quid for 8GB of DDR3. Its bound to go up soon with Japan though.
