The packaging including the outer box is typical for memory kits in this price segment. Depending on the kit, the capacity and accordingly the number of ranks per module differs. Acer Predator has to be credited for the fact that the number of ranks per SKU is shown in a dedicated way, which is not to be taken for granten with other manufacturers.
By the way, the SKUs from today’s test are called BL.9BWWR.280 for the 2x 16 GB variant and BL.9BWWR.253 for the kit with 8 GB and single-sided modules. Furthermore, the Limited Lifetime Warranty, compatibility with common XMP standards and RGB softwares and the PCB design optimized for overclocking are mentioned on the back. All in all, the kits make a promising first impression!
Inside we find each of the two modules in a plastic carrier and a miniature manual, but that’s all that’s necessary. Unfortunately, not included is a microfiber cleaning cloth like similar high-gloss products in the class, but that would be a welcome addition with the various chrome surfaces of the heatsink.
The modules themselves immediately catch the eye with their extravagant design and clearly want to stand out from the competition in more than one way. The heatspreaders are composed of several parts, starting with a black anodized aluminum heat sink that sits on top of the memory chips, decorated with Apollo RGB lettering on one side and the SKU sticker on the other.
On top of that is an element of milky acrylic, bordered by more anodized aluminum style elements, but this time in silver and with a Predator logo at one end. Near the Predator logo, additional chrome accents are added to the side of the acrylic element, creeping out towards the center of the module through interruptions. On top of the acrylic element, there is another chrome element in the form of the Predator lettering in the center.
All in all, the modules with their protruding heatspreader design measure 146 x 52 mm and also overhang the ends of the DIMM slots significantly; even so much that at one end of the module the access to the latch of the DIMM slot is almost completely blocked and probably only children’s fingers fit into the gap between latch and module. But this is not a leg- or finger-break, because many motherboards use one-sided closing slots anyway.
