Memory Installation


Given the low-profile nature of these memory modules we know with great certainty that installation should be problem-free on all current X58 motherboards. Therefore, feel free to consider these pictures gratuitous glam shots...at least they can serve to give a better sense of how these modules would look installed on your respective motherboard(s).


ASUS Rampage II Extreme







Gigabyte EX58-UD5







Intel DX58SO 'SmackOver'





The one common theme among all three motherboards is the fact that depending on how you install the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT CPU cooler it can overhang the first memory slot, making installation/removal of that particular module a little bit more difficult than it otherwise should be. This is obviously not a fault with the G.Skill memory kit though, just an observation.
