Initial Setup

Looking at these on the test bench, the memory RGB implementation is fantastic, from every angle. The common complaint that these DIMMs are a bit oversized isn't without merit, though it actually serves a purpose in this instance. By having an elongated light diffuser, each LED provides enough light that it is evenly dispersed, which also applies to the Z-axis as well.
