Packaging, we show you everything my man -- we always start off with packaging so you know what to look for in the stores -- it's as simple as that really.
Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. These are 8 GB 3200 MHz DIMMs in a kit of 4x DIMMs. Great design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. Intel XMP version 2.0 if of course supported.
As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latencies of 16-16-16-38 at 1.35 Volts, and that is a rather normal latency for this memory alright. For optimal stability we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer suggested settings at default SPD or XMP profile.
We like the black PCB and the shiny heatspreader, styling wise (hey it matters in a high-end cool looking rig) this is a very tasteful kit as well as aesthetically wise. The kit is dual-channel, you could opt for a 16GB kit with two DIMMS. With expensive memory often come some extras, G.skill offers a limited life-time warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that.
Though a bit overkill for most of us, 32GB with four DIMMs does kinda rock - dattis sick yo'. These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as default minimum, 16GB for a little extra in your spicy gaming rig and 32GB for the ones that use memory intensive applications / do memory intensive transcoding and/or content creation.
