Gskill Sniper 12GB X58 ram kit Review

Memory by leeghoofd @ 2011-06-06

At the latest CeBIT 2011, GSkill announced their new Gamer Orientated Sniper series. Sporting a heatspreader that looks like a firearm. Coincidence or not, Gigabyte chose a sortlike military makeover for their new X58 G1 series motherboards. Even though main focus lately is on socket 1155, it is nice to see some new products too for the aging socket 1366. Todays reviewed kit is Gskills high end and high capacity 1600Mhz CL7 12GBkit. Consisting out of a triple 4GB dimm kit. Rated to run at a nice C7-8-7-24 SPD timings.

The kit

No more brown cardboard box, but a new blister design that shows off them eyeball popping heatspreaders quite nicely

They look darn sweet, I must say the design is pretty spot on. Also the black PCB adds to that final classy touch.

This kit really targeted at the more mainstream user that wants that little extra. Far better speeds are not to be expected from a similar quantity 12Gb C8 kit.

Some more pictures of the nicely crafted Snipers dimms. The heatspreaders are available in Black (like our test sample, baptised SR model) or in Army Metallic green( SR2 model). It all depends on the kit you opt for...

Too bad no ram cooler is included, but ofcourse why design a sexy heatspreader if you block the view by a ram cooler...
