The Samsung Green DDR3 8GB 1600mhz memory ships in a cardboard packet with the memory protected under a clear plastic window.
The rear of the package details the 2x4GB capacity and the various timings between 800 mhz and 1,600mhz. This memory has a lifetime warranty, which is reassuring.
Inside the package is a little information sheet with basic details on the memory.
The memory is built around a black PCB, and thanks to the 30nm manufacturing process, it is tiny. Samsung are using their own memory modules on the sticks (K4B2G08460), which isn't really a surprise. The memory isn't supplied with heatspreaders.
To give you an idea of just how small the memory is, we decided to take a picture with some other popular memory we have reviewed in the last year. The tiny physical size means it hardly rises above the memory slot locking clip! Ideal for pairing up with an oversized CPU cooler.
wow that is bloody brilliant stuff. going to order 8gb this weekend. great review, thanks!
yeah thats too good to pass on. My mobo is rated to 2,133mhz but my memory is 1333mhz which can barely run at 1600mhz. ill get some of this myself.
This has been popular over at the US for quite some time now.
