The retail package is on par with previous Crucial products, inside a blister package that gives you a quick look at both modules.
The modules are well protected and as you can see the modules don't have any kind of heat spreader, and the black PCB adds to the overall product image. All 12 Micron 16Gbit memory chips are located on both PCB sides. There are no heat spreaders or RGB lighting. At the front, users will find the Crucial logo with a model codename, cache latency, and serial number.
, while at the back there isn't much apart from the memory banks.
Installing the modules at a DDR5-enabled motherboard is not hard, just keep in mind the side with the memory modules should look like the CPU cooler. The low-profile heatspreaders make the modules compliant with JEDEC specs and you can use those modules are any mini ATX system. The overall build quality is great and you cannot go wrong with Crucial, since it has been one of the biggest memory manufacturers for many years. Due to the high bus efficiency of DDR5 technology, you can expect efficiency improvements that provide 36% more system bandwidth than DDR4.
