The Patriot Memory PC3-15000 ModulesPatriot ships their modules in a plastic blister pack with the modules clearly visible, so there are no surprises on what you’re getting.
The back of the package has some artwork along with a few details of the memory’s specifications; the speeds are given as DDR3 of 1866MHz using 1.9v on the memory to achieve this speed. According to these speeds the modules run an 8-8-8-24 timing profile.
Getting down to the more serious parts we unpack the memory from its casing. It’s a split away blister that doesn’t require any cutting or destruction of the package, so if you do have to return for warranty for any reason, you can ship it back in the original package. The modules come with a raised rib alloy heatspreader to take away heat from the actual memory modules concealed beneath.
On one side of each module is a sticker with the company logo as well as the model number, operating speed, timings and operating voltages. In all, it’s not really all that different than other modules on the market, so there should be no major surprises.
