A Closer Look

The arrived in its standard plastic clamshell packaging, very interesting use of colors the purple and black. The front of the package has the Corsair ram display front and center, while the back has a list of awards and quotes from reviews.

Getting it out of the package we can get a better look at this stuff. Nice black heat spreaders, with the Corsair logo along with specs etc about the ram.
