Apacer Panther Rage RGB memory is available with heat spreaders in two colours - black and golden. We got the first variant in a 2 x 8 GB kit. It is packed in a black cardboard box, with a transparent window to show off the module.

There’s no information about Asus Aura Sync support. Also the translation into Polish is definitely not right (it’s something like “for desktop games”). 

 The internal packaging is a typical clamshell design. It is a cheap but effective solution. The blister holds the 2 sticks securely. The radiators are integrated with the PCB by means of an adhesive pad on each side, and it would require significant strength (or heating up with a hairdryer for a longer period) to dismantle them, so I did not do it, and do not recommend it either.  Here is what it looks like after unpacking. These are two 8 GB modules running at 3200 MHz. They look quite extravagant, and black PCB is always appreciated (and also becoming a standard). The aluminium heat spreader has a polished finish. The lightbars are relatively small compared with the whole package, but this shouldn’t be an issue in terms of the lighting effects.

On the sticker, you can read that it is a kit of 2 x 8 GB modules operating at 3200 MHz, with a CL16, at 1.35 Volts. This should be enough for the typical user/gamer, but if you process video or graphics, then you’d want more. For the best performance, we recommend sticking to the settings from the preconfigured XMP profile. 

The total height of module is 43 mm/1.69 inch. This shouldn’t be an issue with most air coolers on the market, but as always: it’s best to double check if any interference might occur before buying this set.
