AVEXIR MPower Core Series 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Review

Closer Look


The front of the modules are very striking with their yellow stripe atop of a black heatsink. Uppermost are a few neat cut-outs of the aluminium which should assist heat dissipation.


The opposite side of the modules features the module identification sticker. While the specifications are basic (1600C9 1.5v) we can decipher this to mean these modules are specified to run at 1600MHz with a CAS9 rating at a vDIMM of 1.5v.


The modules are quite low profile with a height of 38mm and measure just 7.5mm in width.


The odd looking nodule at the ends of the memory stick serve to assist illumination of the modules. That's right, the modules, like with the standard AVEXIR Core versions light up only this time, the lighting matches the yellow of the kit (Amber LEDs) as opposed to the blue found on the Core versions. See the Test setup area for illumination.


It isn't hard to see where AVEXIR got their inspiration from for the colour scheme of the modules when you place them next to any MPower product. The Lightening AMD MSI HD7970 pictured above, perfectly matches this memory kit and would look fantastic matched with an MPower motherboard.


Overall, the AVEXIR modules are very pleasing to the eye and thanks to the low profile heatsinks, should fit in any setup regardless of the size of the CPU heatsink used. We especially liked the extra lengths AVEXIR had gone to in protecting the modules, something rarely seen in the memory market.

If you like the design of these modules but the colour of the heatspreaders or even the LED is not to your taste then AVIXIR also do a customising service. For more info visit [=urlhttp://www.avexir.com/customize/customize.html]AVEXIR[/url].
