00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.680
now this this is a cool product now i'

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:11.599
there have been quite a few liquid cooled uh memory kits in the past but I

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.120
have never actually seen one in person

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

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.680
Performance Kit from Kingston and it is liquid cooling ready you see those barbs

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

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:33.239
actually make practical use of even in a custom liquid cooled setup so these are

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:35.440
DDR 3 2,000 MHz C9 modules it's a 6 gig

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:41.719
kit so that means it's optimal for core i7 on the LGA 1366

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

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

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.320
wait till the end have you have to wait till the end

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:58.760
to find out what the joke is it's really funny though okay so here

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

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.119
here there we go so I'm not sure exactly

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

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

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

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.720
spreader here so let me sort of let's

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:28.240
look closer at this and see if we can figure out exactly how the whole thing

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:33.840
Clips together so you can see there's screws here and here okay and those go

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:39.479
all the way through so presumably that's clamping the entire heat spreader down

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:44.520
on uh on top of what seems to be like a a

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

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:53.000
like permanently attached or if they're just clamped together and then you've

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:57.320
got a thermal interface material between the uh the heat spreaders and the dim

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

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:05.399
really not that heavy it looks like uh these barbs just go straight through so

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

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

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:16.280
just giving it some contact with cool water it should cool it more than

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:21.040
adequately and uh okay that was pretty much it for the unboxing and checking

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.800
out the hyper xh2o uh the next part is

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

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:32.800
joke so um here on the hyperx H2O page

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:36.200
it says it's delivers high speeds and Extreme Performance features a unique

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:39.959
extreme cooling option that uses liquid to dissipate heat so that's all great

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

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:49.480
specifications Kingston does not recommend that any user attempt to run

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:53.080
their computers faster than the published speed overclocking or

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.959
modifying your system timing may result in damage to computer components so it's

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

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.959
again but um I just thought it was kind of funny that

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:10.280
Kingston's selling you like liquid cooling ready memory with a warning not

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.239
to overclock it because uh yeah you're

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.080
pretty much going to do that oh yeah and uh the way that I would recommend

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

00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:23.640
cooling system and you want to make it compatible with the/ qu in barbs on the

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

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:32.680
four-way splitter and then just plug up one of the ends and then actually split

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

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.239
memory from the top come out the bottom meet into another splitter and then meet

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

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.799
through these uh tight quarter inch barbs and you're still able to get all

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

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.040
just fine without water cooling if you just want to run them air cool that's

00:03:53.720 --> 00:04:01.680
fine too thank you for checking out my unboxing of the hyperx H2O and don't
