Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 memory
Kingston released HyperX Beast high-performance DDR3 memory with high capacities and a new heatspreader design. The HyperX Beast series features memory kits with capacities ranging from 8GB to 64GB, with frequencies ranging from 1600MHz to 2400MHz and CAS latencies from CL9 to CL11.
Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced HyperX® Beast, the latest addition to the HyperX product line. It matches high performance with the largest available capacities and is XMP ready. With its eye-catching aggressive heatspreader design, HyperX Beast is aimed at hardcore gamers, PC modders, content creators and overclockers who want high-performing hardware in an innovative design.
HyperX Beast is part of the Predator family, the premiere memory line offered by Kingston for power users. HyperX Beast features kits up to 2400MHz for faster processing times in applications requiring maximum performance, and in capacities from 8GB-64GB. The new heatspreader color and design adds diversity and character to the current HyperX memory offerings. It is designed to work with third- generation Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors as well as the latest AMD A-Series processors. For added benefit, HyperX Beast is Intel XMP ready so users can easily achieve the best performance optimization by simply selecting a speed profile, hand-tuned by Kingston engineers.
"We use the best performance-yielding components to build memory that is capable of achieving high speeds" said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. "The name Beast speaks for itself. The modules exemplify high-performance memory with the highest capacities available on the market today and an awesome design that will look great in your system."

Maybe because you won't see it once its installed, have you two thought of that?

I'm not one for how components really look as long as they are efficient and perform as intended but there are those who prefer more unique looking hardware, still as you said the PCB on a RAM stick would be mostly hidden, especially when slotted.
(And I guess it would also be mostly hidden under the CPU cooler depending on it's design.)
These seem very nice but wouldn't lower latency be more important than the hertz speed above 1600 or so, though I guess that for speeds above 1800 you can't really get much lower than what these have.
(Sure is a lot of different configurations as well, up to a pretty extreme 32GB pack, ha ha.)

^ Nice looking ram, I can see where they get the name 'beast' from.
