The opposite side is identical, only that here we have an additional sticker:

The sticker does list the product serial number, the internal code name, but also the rated speed and CAS latency:

Here is also a look on the top area of the heatsink, that shows how the two components are joined together:

Without further ado, we have installed the modules on our test system and started running the usual benchmarks:
