so guys today I'm going to be unboxing something kind of neat this is the
mushkin ridgeback heat spreader so the
particular kit that I have today is a Redline DDR3 2x4 gig kit and what this
kit has that's uh pretty special about it first of all it has the honor and
privilege of being featured on my tech tips test bench I will be replacing my
uh my Kingston hyperx H2O module
which I've been using for quite some time uh those are a DDR3 2000 kit uh 2x2
gig so these are a 2x4 gig kit so they'll be replacing my hyperx H2O kit
and while they are clocked lower so these are DDR3 1600 mahz modules PC3
1280 what's cool about these guys is that they have very tight
latencies especially for an8 gig kit so
this is a C7 kit 79824 to be precise
while still maintaining the 1.65 volt ceiling necessary on the latest Intel
Core i7 Core i5 and core I3 platforms so
I'll be using this with my p67a gd65
motherboard as well as my core i7 2600k
at 4.7 GHz to bring you guys all of the
latest benchmark scores from whatever I
happened to be be reviewing on my test platform whether it's an SSD or a video
card or whatever else so thank you for checking out my unboxing oh actually no
you want to you want to see this from every angle cuz these are like these
look sweet they got like the ridge back going
on them they're actually really sharp looking modules I love the paint finish
on them too because so many uh so many heat spreaders on RAM as soon as you
touch them like this to install them you're going to leave big fat indelible
fingerprints on them but these use like a nice um
like a slightly textured finish on what appears to be like uh like powdercoated
paint like it's just it's a really nice finish and there's no way you could
possibly damage it when you're installing your modules so thank you for checking out my unboxing don't forget to
