Well the ram is packed in a new kind of box also which really protects the memory in foam so both the ram and leds are well protected during shipping and storage.
On the back though as usual we have specifications for this new kind of ram with a display on top.

The ram is very high so you can mount memory on the rest of the slots as they fit under the display. The sticks are equipped with big heatsinks to
remove the heat from them. On them we have stickers with information about the ram. The right pics shows the display mounted and ready to go. You basically
just push it down on the ram.
