SuperTalent is bringing "sexy" back to DDR3

SuperTalent today announced its new Project X DDR3 memory kits, which it deems the most advanced DDR3 memory kits available. The new Project X DDR3 modules feature a large passive cooling solution that provides more surface area and aluminum mass. The Project X cooler somewhat resembles Corsair’s DOMINATOR cooler, found on DDR2 memory modules.

"These kits support obscene clock speeds, carefully tuned latencies, and incorporate an advanced thermal dissipater that makes them as sexy as they are fast," Super Talent Marketing Director Joe James said.

SuperTalent offers two Project X kits, which the company hand tests with ASUS P5K3 Deluxe motherboards, in dual channel configurations. The available Project X modules come in 2x1GB kits with speeds of DDR3-1800 and DDR3-1600. Timings for the DDR3-1800 kit is 7-7-7-21 and requires 2.0-volts, while the lower speed rated DDR3-1600 kit has 7-6-6-18 timings and requires 1.8-volts.

Expect to pay $599 for the DDR3-1800 and $549 for the DDR3-1600 “sexy” modules. The modules should arrive at retailers in the next week or so, as Super Talent is shipping the modules out today.

I pity the man that becomes aroused when looking at RAM.

I agree - the suggestion that a particular heatsink design is "sexy" is ridiculous. Pure marketing BS.

I could imagine that appearing somewhat sexual to a female... its not beyond the imagination.

"Ribbed for her pleasure"

Big breasted dimms is what people are looking for.
They would be DDR-ousal and connect to the PC via a V46-1N4 interface.
That'd be sexy ram...

Seriuosly talking, though, am I seeing things or is "insane speed" DDR3 price dropping?
Maybe DDR3 will become mainstream faster than I thought it would be, after all...

Nevertheless, I'm more than satisfied with my 2gbs of cheap g.skill ddr2 800, that cost about a fifth of these.

ribbed for her pleasure is good and all, but I wont get a stiffy until high end DDR3 like this is under $300.

What's the point of coming onto a tech site and deriding anyone with a fascination in new tech? Isn't spending your time doing that even worse than the people who drool over new memory sticks?

Chill out pie porker. If your fascinated by some ribbed ram I think you need help. And you're drooling too?

Surprise your mom and tell her you are turning your PC off for the afternoon and you are going to Hooters for lunch to look at women. And what the hell go all the way and get drunk and ride your razor skooter home.

Gee, i thought i was deriding the Super Talent Marketing team.

I'm sorry if I hurt you or your mom's feelings.

I'm going to put it this way:

I'd be more inclined to drool seeing benchmarks. Show me the performance and I'll show you some excitement. Cripes... that price is insane. You could almost buy an 8800 GTX for the price they're charging a stick. And they didn't even say if that was a 1GB or 2GB module. At least let me know why I want to fork over that kind of cash.

And let's not get on this marketing ploy. If I wanted sexuality in my advertising, I'd read a Maxim or watch a beer commercial. To trying to imply computer hardware is anything sexual is like trying to say that G.W. Bush is an articulate wordsmith.

Jokes aside, while I can appreciate it's the new hotness in computing, don't insult my intelligence by calling it "sexy" when it's mearly a stick of RAM with a very high price tag.


Adheasive?

Massive heatsink on this memory.

I'm sure it's probably negated by a crappy adhesive, like all the other memory heatsinks.

How come nobody uses such methods as video card heatsinks for the GPU's themselves? Use push-pin clamps through the PCB itself.

Sorry to sound like a n00b here, but I never really understood the true importance of heatsinks on memory unless one was overclocking. I mean, does memory chips heat up that much? I guess the answer is yes, but I see lots of memory sticks without heatsinks. Or if they do, it is just an aluminum heat spreader. What's the deal with this massive heatsink which will, like said above, certainly be negated by a crap-arse adhesive.

Yeah, I adhere to your doubt.
I perfectly remember the good old GSkill F1-LA ddr 400 dimms, based off of samsung TCCD chips that could overclock as good as (if not even better than) the also old OCZ platinum r2 DDR 400 sticks I have laying around there.

The difference is that those G-SKills had no heatspreader at all, while my OCZs seem to weight 2 pounds a dimm cos of those shiny, finger-print attracting spreaders.

Don't know about DDR2 and DDR3, but as for DDR1 spreaders seemed to be pretty much aesthetical only stuff.

No thanks.

Really, no thanks. I realize that performance costs money, but this seems a little out of hand. I'd want to see how much benefit there is first.

Heck, I remember the day when memory was mocked for needing heat spreaders, now there are these things.

You guys should have used a picture of Justin Timberlake in Sexy Back for the complementary image that goes with the headline.

I think my Dominator heat spreaders are way cooler. Too bad they're covered by a fan. :)

when this memory is obsolete I can use it as a high tech cheese grater.
