this is yet another buy request unboxing this is Patriots sector 7 RAM so it's
basically just like their Sector 5 RAM except with three modules so seven is
according to uh Patriot 50% more than
five I'm not going to begrudge them the name because it's very cool looking RAM
it sounds cool and I think that's what they were going for Patriots actually uh
recently celebrated their 25 year anniversary so you can see they've got
the box marked with that they've actually been in business since
1985 which is a pretty long time for a computer company and that brings me to
one of the other things about this memory they call out a lifetime warranty
lifetime warranty is pretty meaningless
from a company that you can't rely on to be around anymore so that's one of the
reasons why I would pick a company like Patriot that's been around for a very
long time provides a solid warranty because you know that when something
actually does go wrong well in the event that not when in the event that
something actually does go wrong the company will probably still exist to
back you up so we've taken it out of the shrink wrap on the outside you can see
here they've got a sticker applied this is a PC3 uh
12,800 uh DDR RAM DDR3 RAM kit so that
means it runs at 1600 MHz I believe this is the C9 kit although let me have a
look here at what yeah this is their uh
99924 kit so that's the latency it runs
at let's go ahead and get the box opened up
here so inside we will find a little plastic packet oo I like the way that's arranged
that looks pretty cool so their sector series of RAM spreaders is actually
designed around taking the heat away from the memory modules and then taking
it up to the fins at the top where it can either be cooled by your just your
system airf flow or you can install a dedicated RAM cooler above it so let's
have a look they are using a black PCB for these particular memory modules and
they've got a shiny uh black and blue sticker on the side calling out that it
is sector 7 here on the side and not all companies do this which is really
annoying but they've actually got the part number so that makes it easy for
you to go and reference it later and then they've got the settings for it so
99924 1.65 Vols I appreciate that
because I don't always want to go on to the manufacturer website to find out
what a memory stick runs at if I'm just sort of picking it up and want to just
dial it in right away so that's uh that's pretty convenient so you can see
here they've got kind of a a rippled effect in the metal here that they're
using for the fins on the top so it's going to give you a little bit more surface area a little bit more
Cooling and yeah it's another RAM unboxing so yes it's just more RAM but
if you're going for a particular look for your build and I think these are
going to go really well with the MSI Big Bang X power that I'm going to have on
my test bench over the next little while then you know you pick something that
looks great cools well and I mean in the
case of patriot they offer free tech support lifetime warranty it's pretty
hard to go wrong thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Patriot sector 7
