About Mach Xtreme Technology
MX Technology is a new brand in the memory business, which was established very recently in January 2010. Even though Mach Xtreme has yet to celebrate its first birthday, all the staff members have an extensive background and long history within the IT industry. Mach Xtreme offers not only memory kits of all different flavors, but also SSDs and USB 3.0 flash drives as well. Most of their publicity is due to their colorful and urban branding, which is clearly visible all over their website.

Packaging & Contents

We received the memory in a simple plastic packaging. You can see the entire module, which has been placed on a cardboard backdrop. The design does not look like anything you will find on the company website, which is a shame, as it would have been uniquely different if the heatspreaders were white and the package art were as colorful as their Internet presence. A sticker has been placed on the rear to let you know what specifications the kit is intended to be run at and a "100% Hand Tested" note is within the package itself.
