I will do what I can with the photos to bring something new, but there is only so much a lens can capture when taking the same photos. Actually, there is something new that wasn't in my last OCZ Blade OC Report which you can find at the end of this section. If you read the
OCZ Blade PC3-16000 OC Report just scroll to the bottom for the new content, and if you didn't read it, I suggest you get over there right now and do so...I'll wait.

If you are reading this then you clearly can't follow directions. You really are the bottom of the evolutionary barrel sort of speak. Because of this, I will keep my comments simple, so you can understand them. Memory come in box. Box have logo on it. Inside of box is memory. Memory protected by plastic. Plastic is shiny. You like shiny...don't you? Yeah, shiny fun.

For those seeing the Blade heat sinks for the first time you might be a little under-whelmed, I know I was when I initially saw photos of the modules. The reason being is that the photos don't do these heat sinks justice. The finish on these modules is almost granite like and the flat black color really gives them a rugged feel. Aesthetics are obviously a personal thing and some people will like them, these are the cool people with a good sense of design. Others will think they aren't "fancy enough", these are the un-cool people with LED's and UV lights in their rigs...you know who you are. You think it's cool but really it isn't. You want cool, go to
MurderBox.com and see what cool design really is. You stuffing a couple UV lights in your crap Ultra Aluminus with no cable management is a hack job...like Jimmy Fallon is to late night talk shows. Stop posting photos of your "mod", stop it right now...I don't want to see that crap posted in a forum ever again.

Forget about the first photo - you have all seen it before - but look at the second one. If you noticed the bottom of the heat sink pulling away from the module slightly...you would be right, congratulations, you win an imaginary cookie. Only one module is like this but it kind of sucks to see. The back side of the heat sink isn't actually flat and looks as if someone tried pulling the heat sink off. Needless to say, the bottom portion of the IC's are not contacting the heat sink. As if heat sinks on memory actually did anything, but if they do, then these modules heat sinks wouldn't be quite as effective as it should be. I just popped the back side off, flattened it out with a bit of force and all is well again. While I had the back off I snapped a quick photo of the modules...mmmm, Elpida Hyper.
