We didn't receive a retail box with our early sample, simply the two sticks inside a protective plastic box. The retail sample will have a blue heatsink and be part of the T1 range.
The memory ships with grey metallic heatspreaders, which are attractive. The stickers don't detail the exact timings and are marked as ‘KHX2666C11D3T1K2/4GX'. The ‘Genesis' name is listed underneath the HyperX logo on the left side.
Both sides of the Heatspreader feature the Hyper ‘X' logo artistically positioned at the edge with ‘DDR3' underneath. We tried to remove the heatspreaders to look at the PCB, but they were adhered with thermal glue meaning we could very well destroy the memory modules by removing. Kingston wanted the memory back, so we weren't willing to risk it.
Im still not sure im sold on spending so much for memory.
I upgraded recently from 1600 to 2133 and on a blind test i couldnt tell the difference
this is great, but its only 4GB? id like to see how the 4GB sticks handle before committing . I cant find it anywhere either? any links to kits?
I think 1866mhz is good value, kingston make some nice cheaper memory.
nice showcase for them, they needed it with g.skill and the like running amok
