Thread: What you get

I was impressed with appearance when I got this RAM. It came in this stylish box. It opened up and you get red heat sinks shine in light. To go with memory you get two stickers to place on case. It’s nothing that will create your memory do better, but it will add a little bling to PC. I haven’t gotten these case stickers from memory earlier. Generally you only obtain them for your CPU and graphics card. Though, advertising is advertising I assume.



The RAM itself comes with a red heat spreader. Heat spreaders are ordinary through RAM world for any type of gamer or over clock RAM. Usually you will only locate bargain bin versions without heat spreader.



Here is a look at the specifications before we go to testing.

• Specification Capacity 2GB (1GB x 2)
• Speed 800MHz DDR2 (PC2-6400)
• CAS Latency CL 5-5-5-15
• Test Voltage 1.8~2.0 Volts
• PCB 6 Layers PCB
• Registered/Unbuffered: Unbuffered
• Error Checking Non-ECC Type 240-pin DIMM
• Warranty Lifetime



Eliminating heat spreaders is actually simple. All I had to do was stick a razor blade under clips and heat spreader popped right off. Getting the heat spreader back on was a little bit harder? It’s easier to put heat spreaders on after you have them together again and slide memory into heat spreaders.

On every memory chips it says “xbe764-3936”. Googling that number did not come back with anything. Doing some more study, it shows to be Power Chip memory chips. This company shows to be making cheap DDR2 memory. There is not anything else on Internet about these chips. The most popular memory is Micron D9 aka the “fatty” memory. These go for a pretty penny. The Micron permits CAS 3 timings and is quite quick also.
