this is yet another by request unboxing this is Patriots sector-7 ram so it's basically just like their sector 5 ram except with three modules so seven is according to patriot fifty percent more than 5 i'm not going to begrudge than the name because it's very cool-looking ram it sounds cool and i think that's what they were going for patriots actually recently celebrated their 25 year anniversary so you can see they've got the box marked with that they've actually been in business since 1985 which is a pretty long time for a computer company and that brings me to one of the other things about this memory they call out a lifetime warranty lifetime warranty is pretty meaningless from company that you can't rely on to be around anymore so that's one of the reasons why i would pick a company like patriot that's been around for a very long time provides a solid warranty because you know that when something actually does go wrong well in the event that not when in the event that something actually does go wrong the company will probably still exist to back you up so we've taken it out of the shrink wrap on the outside you can see here they've got a sticker applied this is a pc3 12800 a ddr ram ddr3 ram kit so that means it runs at 1600 megahertz i believe this is the c9 kit although let me have a look here at what yeah this is their 999 24 kit so that's the latency it runs that let's go ahead and get the box opened up here so inside we'll find a little plastic package I like the way that's arrange that looks pretty cool so their sector series of ram spreaders is actually designed around taking the heat away from the memory modules and then taking it up to the fins at the top where it can either be cooled by your just your system airflow or you can install a dedicated ram cooler above it so let's have a look they're using a black PCD for these particular memory modules and they've got a shiny black and blue sticker on the side calling out that it is sector seven here on the side and not all companies do this which is really annoying but they've actually go the part number so it makes it easy for you to go and reference it later and then they've got the settings for it so 999 24 one point six five volts I appreciate that because I don't always want to go on to the manufacturer website to find out what a memory stick runs that if I'm just sort of picking it up and want to just dial it in right away so that's that's pretty convenient so you can see here they've got kind of a ripple effect in the metal here that they're using for the fins on the top so it's going to give you a little bit more surface area a little bit more cooling and yeah it's another Ram unboxing so yes it's just more ram but if you're going for a particular look for your build and I think these are going to go really well with the MSI big bang xpower that I'm going to have on my test bench over the next little while then you know you pick something that looks great cools well and I mean in the case of Patriot they offer free tech support lifetime warranty it's pretty hard to go wrong thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Patriot sector 7 memory and don't forget to subscribe to my Linus tech tips video blog for more unboxings and tech videos
