A Closer Look

The HyperX Predator RGB modules have a very striking appearance. The layered metal heatspreader has one section with a matte finish and an upper layer with a shiny surface, which makes taking pictures of these modules properly a bit difficult.


One side of the module has a bunch of product logos on it, as it should. The other side does not, but instead has a label on it. Oh, how I hate these labels...


The HyperX logo in the middle is made out of a textured metal, making it highly reflective and attention-grabbing. A "Predator" logo sits on one end.


There is a recessed HyperX logo in the top of the stick that will remain visible once the sticks are installed and powered on. Like most 8 GB modules these days, these sticks are single-sided.


The HyperX Predator RGB modules are rather thick and will fill a DIMM slot fully, but just barely. Oh, and that label? It's a big mess of numbers and such. I do see it noting that this stick came from a kit of four and is specified to run at 1.35 V.


We need to take a look at the end of the modules for anything printed on to the PCB surface, of course.


I was also looking for some sort of IR sensor or something here that might have to do with the Infrared Sync capability, but I found none. I am really curious about how this all works!
