Loving the look of the blackline memory

Yeah, they look great. They remind me of trainers for some odd reason.

The design of the heatspreader is really nice, but why are they still using green PCB?

 

[TheF34RChannel]

Excellent looking RAM, but no, green PCB for enthusiast-class is a definite no!

Why are RAM makers still using high profile design? It's not needed and only makes life more difficult when you're dealing with heatsink choiche

Cause then they have more space to actually make their own design with rather than everyone having similar heatspreaders with a different sticker.

Also for people that watercool (whether custom or AIO) the height of the RAM does not matter, but it also means there's less airflow around the CPU socket area so, while probably still not absolutely necessary, it can be nice to have to more efficient heatspreaders on your RAM.

Actually looks really nice! Although as F34R said why are they still using green PCB.. CMON!!

How are Mushkin's reputation for Ram these days? still top notch stuff?

Don't know, they certainly don't seem to be among the biggest players (imo Kingston, Corsair and G.Skill). Last Mushkin I've had where the limited edition Charcoal Grey DDR2 800 ones - never regretted them!

The height of these new moduls ins't too bad as compared to Kingston's HyperX Predators which are massive - and pointless whereas cooling is concerned (they don't get hot anyway)!

Prefer the older look tbh.

Green PCB.. Still no black PCB from Mushkin.
