Package contents
The GeIL modules are shipped in a small box designed for the occasion.
The dragon is shown at the front, just so there is no doubt about what you are dealing with.
The entire box is cast in dark colours to amplify the ominous look, and there are some small holes so you can just glimpse the modules.

On the rear of the box are three addition holes to give a better view of the modules, and there is also a label that talks about the specifications of this set of RAM.

Within the box you find the modules well protected and wrapped in plastic to ensure they are not damaged during transport.
Away with the plastic and out come the modules, looking like this.

The first thing you notice is that there is no heat spreader, and there is actually a good reason for that.
To maintain the handsome design and casemod look they simply trashed the heat spreader. Do not worry though – this does not mean they get any hotter than the RAM that actually come with a head spreader.
GeIL have made the print design in such a way that heat is removed much quicker, meaning that even after an entire day of gaming, the RAM never get more than lukewarm.
At the front you find yet another label with specifications of the modules. An oddity is that it simply says GeIL on all the RAM chips, so we have been unable to obtain any information on them.

If we turn a RAM block around, we can see the dragon design from the box is featured on the RAM as well – fancy!

To give these RAM a final touch, GeIL has mounted red LEDs at both ends of the modules, presumably to represent the eyes of a dragon. The red light looks great in the dark, but of you need a see-through case to get the full effect.

Here are a couple of pictures of how it looks like when the lights go out.
