Crucial Ballistix Finned DDR3 1866 MHz CL9 4 GB @ techPowerUp

These aren't the fastest modules around but have a very unique style about them, in a way they resemble some of the old Patriot Viper designs of old.

The Crucial Ballistix Finned memory does not only look cool, but they also pack an on-board sensor so that you can actually make sure they stay cool during use and extreme overclocking. We take the 1866 MHz kit for a spin to check if it manages to make an impression or barely ding our armor.

On the Sandy Bridge platform memory speed is more important than timings for every day usage but when it comes down to system tuning you'll want to make sure to get a good quality module, and while popular, fancy heatspreaders don't really do much to enhance performance.
