best looking black memory

I want black coloured memory, the heat sink / spreader and the pcb, link me with ram you think looks best. So far I'm going to get the crucial ballistix elite ram which to me looks the best, unless I am proven wrong ;)

G Skill have black Ripjaws X kits for 2x8GB and up which I think look good, and the Ripjaws Z are my favourite but so expensive. Also like the Sniper heatsinks.

Round dimms have always looked extremely awkward to me, not sure why :P

 

To all the other replies so far, I still think the ballistix elite look the best, thanks for the mentions though. If you know of any maybe aftermarket or not very popular dimms that your friendly neighbourhood techie wouldn't know of, let me know since I knew of all the ones posted :D

+1 on Kingston HyperX Blu Black memory. But if you are getting these make sure you set their XMP profile on the ones that support XMP to get the advertised speeds.

Hehe...gud one.... :lol:

Its legit, have it in my build as the silver clashed and painting the top voids the warranty. Also as a homage to dominator and dominator GT.

That's what I own and I just now noticed the rifle molded into the heat spreader.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

This is going to sound extremely unoriginal, but I honestly like Corsair's Vengeance memory design. 

 

Vengeance memory is known to me as costing 10-$20 more than other perfectly acceptable memory, but the heat spreader design is honestly beautiful.

True, they quite resemble the ballistix elite's. Do you know if they are made of plastic or metal?

The sticker on them looks a bit bolder than the branding that I really like on the elite's.
