Initial Setup

Each memory kit comes in two color variations; white or black. As seen in the photos, the white version was sent as a sample from Corsair. Overall, these look fantastic. Corsair has taken the road less traveled, using a small logo instead of putting the Vengeance brand name on the light diffuser. If you design builds around a theme, this is great to see. Often illuminated text can be distracting if it doesn't match the rest of the system. By just having the Corsair logo, it is a decent compromise between those who prefer to show off what brands are being used for the system and those who want the focal point to be something else.
