The Package
At the top of the package we have the G.Skill logo. We also have mention of the fact that this is a Tri-Channel Memory kit and that it’s intended for use with Intel Core i7 CPUs. Below that we can see a little tag line from G.Skill that says “Extreme performance for Nehalem from G.Skill.”
The rest of the package is taken up by the three 2GB modules; we can see exactly what they look like and we can also see the information on the module that tells us about the speed of the modules. We will have a closer look at that in a second.
Turning the package over, we have once again the G.Skill logo and a bit of a run down about the kit. Towards the bottom we have the URL, contact details and a sticker that gives us a rundown on the main specifications.
The Modules
Pulling the modules out of the package, there isn’t anything we haven’t really seen already thanks to the fact you can see the modules when they’re all packed up. Being a part of the PI series, we have the special heatsink that makes the modules look great.
On one side of the modules we have the G.Skill logo along with the PI logo; the other side has the same but also a sticker that gives us a rundown on the speed, size, timings etc.
Having a closer look at the sticker, we can see that the modules are PC-12800 or 1600MHz, have the default timings of 8-8-8-21 and are rated to run at 1.6v – 1.65v. We can also see that the kit is 2GB x 3, giving us a grand total of 6GB of memory.
