GeIL Black Dragon DDR2 800 MHz CL4

A Closer Look

Taking a closer look at the memory, the first thing you notice is the golden dragon head. This is the successor of the Golden Dragon series. These used to be golden with a dragon printed on them as well. Both sides of the dual channel 2 GB kit look identical, but the one side lacks the same dragon symbol found on the front. it would have been nice to see such an inprint on both sides.


The holographic sticker lists all needed information to get up and running. As you can see it is a DDR2 800 MHz CL4-4-4-12 kit with an operating voltage of 2.0V. GeIL has placed their own logo on the memory chips so there is no way to tell who manufactured them. The PCB also features the company logo on the edge.


The dragon head is formed by placing two dragons next to each other. GeIL has also placed two red LEDs for eyes, which looks stunning on the mainboard. The combination of a black PCB, golden print and these LEDs makes for some beautiful memory.
