Packaging & Closer Look

EVO CORSA is presented in a small cardboard packet. GeIL have chosen to use the remains of a tyre mark on a racecourse to market this memory kit – representing speed and endurance. There is a small window that gives a sneak preview of one of the modules inside and the GeIL DBT Enhanced logo can be clearly seen in the bottom right corner. On the reverse of the packet is the GeIL company address and memory specifications.

EVO CORSA as you might have guessed from the sneak preview through the packaging – have yellow heatsinks. With most enthusiasts now being aesthetically conscious and motherboards being prominently black and blue, these heatsinks will struggle to co-ordinate. If you have a wacky side or aren’t bothered at all by the colour configuration inside your rig then you won’t have a problem!


An overview of GeIL EVO CORSA

Looking at the modules from the side we can see the profile of the EVO CORSA kit. The thickness of the modules with the heatsinks attached are 4mm, whilst the extended height of the heatsink adds on an additional 1.75cm.

On the reverse of the modules is the specifications label, this gives the capacity, frequency, CAS timings, serial number and rated voltage. The CAS timings on this kit are quite high so it’s expected that overclocking will be extremely limited – more on this later.
