00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,680
now this this is a cool product now i'

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,599
there have been quite a few liquid cooled uh memory kits in the past but I

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,120
have never actually seen one in person

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:18,600
this is the first one that I've gotten to check out so this is a hyperx

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,680
Performance Kit from Kingston and it is liquid cooling ready you see those barbs

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:27,080
right there those appear to be 1/4 in barbs which I will explain how you can

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:33,239
actually make practical use of even in a custom liquid cooled setup so these are

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,440
DDR 3 2,000 MHz C9 modules it's a 6 gig

9
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:41,719
kit so that means it's optimal for core i7 on the LGA 1366

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:46,480
platform let's open it up and have a look oh yeah and there's a joke there's

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,120
a joke in this episode that is just like the funniest thing ever but you have to

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,320
wait till the end have you have to wait till the end

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:58,760
to find out what the joke is it's really funny though okay so here

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:04,799
it is hyperx H2O so I'm just going to lift it out by the barbs here

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,119
here there we go so I'm not sure exactly

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,680
how this heat spreader works but you can see it's got like blue accents on it oh

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,920
I like that check that out so it's got like blue hyperx style accents and then

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:23,079
over top of that there's kind of like a black and red and white themed uh heat

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,720
spreader here so let me sort of let's

20
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:28,240
look closer at this and see if we can figure out exactly how the whole thing

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Clips together so you can see there's screws here and here okay and those go

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:39,479
all the way through so presumably that's clamping the entire heat spreader down

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:44,520
on uh on top of what seems to be like a a

24
00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:48,079
sub heat spreader I can't tell if the black one and the blue one are actually

25
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,000
like permanently attached or if they're just clamped together and then you've

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,320
got a thermal interface material between the uh the heat spreaders and the dim

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,159
itself they're not that heavy actually I'm I'm a little bit surprised they're

28
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:05,399
really not that heavy it looks like uh these barbs just go straight through so

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,399
you can see right there so there's no um there's no winding around through the

30
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:12,360
water block I mean really RAM doesn't produce a lot of heat so if you're even

31
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,280
just giving it some contact with cool water it should cool it more than

32
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:21,040
adequately and uh okay that was pretty much it for the unboxing and checking

33
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,800
out the hyper xh2o uh the next part is

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:30,040
check out the uh wait wait for the wait for the joke wait for the joke it's funny okay this is the joke this is the

35
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,800
joke so um here on the hyperx H2O page

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,200
it says it's delivers high speeds and Extreme Performance features a unique

37
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,959
extreme cooling option that uses liquid to dissipate heat so that's all great

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,760
and fine and then down at the very bottom notice all Kingston products are tested to meet our public published

39
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:49,480
specifications Kingston does not recommend that any user attempt to run

40
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,080
their computers faster than the published speed overclocking or

41
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,959
modifying your system timing may result in damage to computer components so it's

42
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,080
I don't know I just I okay maybe it's not that funny now that I look at it

43
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,959
again but um I just thought it was kind of funny that

44
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:10,280
Kingston's selling you like liquid cooling ready memory with a warning not

45
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,239
to overclock it because uh yeah you're

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,080
pretty much going to do that oh yeah and uh the way that I would recommend

47
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,760
running this memory if you want if you're running like a 38 or a/ in water

48
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:23,640
cooling system and you want to make it compatible with the/ qu in barbs on the

49
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:27,120
hyperx H2O is what I would do is I would get like a a three-way splitter or a

50
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:32,680
four-way splitter and then just plug up one of the ends and then actually split

51
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:38,120
your 38 in tubing or your half in tubing into 3/4 in go into your triple Channel

52
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:41,239
memory from the top come out the bottom meet into another splitter and then meet

53
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,640
up with the rest of your Loop that way you don't lose a whole lot of flow going

54
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,799
through these uh tight quarter inch barbs and you're still able to get all

55
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,319
the extra performance out of these dims now that's not to say these won't run

56
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:55,040
just fine without water cooling if you just want to run them air cool that's

57
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:01,680
fine too thank you for checking out my unboxing of the hyperx H2O and don't
