Packaging
ORIGIN CODE makes it clear from the outset that this is a premium offering. The front of the box features a sleek, minimalist design, focusing primarily on the branding with low information density. Flipping to the back, you'll find the usual details like warranty information and product specifications. While there aren't any badges indicating lighting compatibility, we've been informed that it supports all major software, including ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.
Inside the box, there are three sections: one for the included fan, another for the accessories, and finally for the memory. Since this is a four-DIMM kit, we have two sets, with each module nestled in foam padding. This not only provides protection during shipping and handling but also presents the memory as a premium product.
The included cooling module features three 40 mm dual-ball bearing 8000 RPM PWM fans, specifically designed for the Vortex series. Each DIMM has mounting holes that perfectly align on each end, ensuring a seamless fit. Installation is straightforward and can be easily accomplished with the provided screwdriver. For those seeking reassurance on the correct installation procedure, the Vortex product manual includes a detailed installation guide just in case.
