Introduction

I would like to thank Corsair for supplying the review sample.

They offer modules with unique cooling and a broad range of high performance USB flash drives as well as well built power supplies.

Packaging

Corsair ships the memory in a full-color cardboard package. There is an image of the tri-channel kit on an EVGA board in the front along with 12 GB written in big letters. Turning the compact box around, there is some marketing text and three windows, through which you can take a close look at the labels of each module along with the serial number.


You will also find a sticker on the bottom right corner which holds the model number. Each of the modules is individually packed within a plastic tray and fitted within the cardboard box. These can easily be opened as they are not fused shut or held together by any metal clips.
