The RAM comes in a black (with some RGB accents) cardboard box with a name (and logos) and the capacity.
Information about capacity and frequency is printed on the stickers put back of the pack. Let’s check what’s inside.
After opening the box – you can find two packages inside.
One of the boxes contains the dummy DIMMs, placed in a plastic cover.
The second one has the memory itself inside. The Manta XPrism kit (which consists of two 16 GB modules running at 6200 MHz) has a plain and simple look with a white (with a white bar at the top) aluminum shroud. The PCB is black, and XMP version 3.0 is supported. The radiators are integrated with the PCB using an adhesive pad on each side, and dismantling them would require significant strength (or heating up with a hairdryer for a more extended period), so I did not do this. I did not recommend it either (as it would void the warranty).
The printing on the frontside tells you that this is a 2 x 16 GB kit operating at 6200 MHz, with CL36, at 1.3 Volts. This should be more than enough for the typical user/gamer, and it can come in handy for you if you process video or graphics. We recommend sticking to the settings from the preconfigured XMP profile for optimal performance.
