The front of the box has a good, clear image of one of the modules, which has a gloss finish, making it pop out a little against the matt finish of the remainder of the box. The only other thing of note on the front, besides the module name, is an image confirming the lifetime warranty Netac backs the kit with. The back of the box is covered in multilingual bullet points about it being a desktop memory module.

The heat spreaders on the modules are made from aluminium, finished in white (a black version is also available). The spreaders give the module a height of 43.3mm, and at the top sits the RGB defuser bar, which covers eight RGB zones. Netac don't have any in-house RGB software (at the time of writing), but the memory is supported by most of the motherboard RGB controllers on the market. The white finished module looks quite striking with a black band running along the top, which holds the Netac name, while the main body of the heatspreader has intricate patterns of black and gold lines on it. The modules are a single-rank design; under each heatsink, there are eight SK hynix A-die (H5CG48AGBDX018) ICs along with a power management IC (PMIC).

 

The memory runs at DDR5-5600 with timings of 46-45-45-90-135 (1.10V) natively with the two EXPO and Intel XMP profiles supporting DDR5-6800 (34-45-45-115) and DDR5-7200 (34-45-45-115) both at 1.40V.
