Installation

Unfortunately, the Reaper HPC RAM may cause a bit of a clearance issue on some motherboards depending on how close the RAM is to the CPU or CPU Cooler. In the case of Sapphire's 780G motherboard, the RAM slots were far too close to the CPU cooler and I was only able to use the two farthest away with the Reaper HPC's height.

The Reaper HPC RAM is quite sturdy, and I felt not give when pushing down against the heatpipes or fins. They're solidly built units.

Installation was a snap, so next up is looking at how the unit's perform.
