Since I the RAM module call my own for a little longer time, I'll write a review here.
1) The package: I was surprised when the delivery of a relatively large parcel arrived. At opening, I also realized why! The package with the RAM bars are wrapped in an extra thick air protection foil to prevent any damage from outside. The packing of RAM module itself seemed even higher quality than I thought. So one has to open front a flap able to get a better look at the sticks to have (a little gem). Latches, the extra stuck in a plastic framing again let the side draw from the packet out.
2) Assembly and installation: Was with me harder than I thought, although I can not say whether it is up to the RAM-bars or on my motherboard. After long experimentation, I found out that I need to be plugged in a specific order on my motherboard, the RAM module. At first I thought, since I have only 4 RAM slots free, I can put what I want - but it was not like that. Also no description was, or the RAM latches itself was no indication included as one which bars where had stuck. But as long as you do not have plants in four RAM-bars and four RAM slots, I've found it so.
Must direct to install anything because the BIOS and Windows recognize the 16GB readily.
Note: If indeed nothing new, but to use the 16GB you need a 64-bit system!
3) In everyday life: Very good! Since I had been upgraded from a few 4GB, I can proudly announce that one notices a big difference. Programs open faster and run better and in many games is loading time shortens dramatically (especially in games that use a lot of RAM memory effectively). We tested also as if one is upgrading from 8GB to 16GB. Since the change in the number of running programs / games is noticeable. Even on an individual basis to recognize a little improvement, but really tear it does nothing.
4) Cooling: Again, I notice a difference because my old RAM module no passive cooling had. Expect but one must not be too much, the cooling is good, but miracles not this.
> All in all, + For the price you get a rich piece of hardware - you can not complain.
+ A clear advantage to the packaging, since it placed great emphasis here on safety, thanks to the extra protective film and separate storage of the RAM module. Even the look of the packaging Look impressive.
+ Installation was a little difficult (for me?), But after a moment trying out the RAM latches were installed quickly.
+ There is still a definite plus for the performance that really more than very good.
Without a neutral or negative point I'm very clear on 5 out of 5 stars that are really worthy!
