Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2016 is brought to you by the Corsair
lap dog the gaming center that allows you to use a full-size keyboard and
mouse from your couch and by
MSI so we're here in the Corsair booth and they're showing off this is like
unbelievable I didn't even know these guys make memory anymore I mean it's
like keyboards This and like cases that
and guys like George coming in going we should do cases power supplies and
cooling well no no no this is a back to the RO product this right here is the
Dominator Platinum special edition ddr4
kit well kits there are actually two of them there's like a dark plated one and
a light plated one and the Vengeance LED
so I'm going to start with the Vengeance LED since that's the one that may
actually have some relevance to more than a handful of you they've taken
their Vengeance ID which is kind of that sort of sexy Corsair logo in the middle
and then accents on the outsides and they've added LED to them they're going
to be available in two different colors red and white to start and they support
a couple of different LED lighting modes so you can see here they're not RGB so
they don't cycle colors but they're able to kind of breathe and turn on and off
and stuff like that the software is very very beta right now but it's going to be
controllable through Corsair link and I
guess that's pretty much all there is to say about it there are dual Channel kits
and quad Channel kits available all the way up to frequency is as high as 4,300
meh now let's get on to the special edition
now I hate it when companies do a special edition that's basically just SE
and there's no sort of limited quantity because you know what the SE stands for
in those cases like well you you know
what the S is for an addition okay it's usually just like we need to sell this
thing um what what can we put on the box
SE terrible so no these are going to be limited to 500 units each only 500 units
will be available they will be individually numbered and these are a
dominator Platinum LED lit memory kit so
there's going to be a 4x8 for the quad Channel enthusiasts and a 2x6 for guys
running on the z170 platform and they are running at ddr4 3200 now no one in
the booth can confirm or deny this for me but I would speculate that if they
were doing a handpicked 500 unit run
that 3200 probably isn't the max that you could expect these to run at and
they are going to look absolutely sick in your system which as you guys
probably know is pretty much how I shop for memory these days now this this is
cool this is the MSI Corsair Seahawk GTX
1080 now they did a 980 TI before so
this isn't an entirely New Concept Corsair working on the cooler MSI I
working on the GPU itself and slapping all that together for a cool quiet
maximum overclocking gaming experience but the big difference this time is that
even though this product is kind of hiding in a corner in the booth because
they don't have a finalized PCB layout
they don't have finalized clock speeds I mean I wouldn't even be surprised if the
back plate graphic design isn't even finalized they are claiming that instead
of being 9 months late this time there are going to be two weeks after the
general availability of GTX 1080 graphics cards and ready to start
selling this puppy so thanks to the single 120 mm radiator and 120 mm fan
Corsair is saying look we are removing all the thermal limitations and while
NVIDIA was showing off clock speeds like 2 GHz at their launch event some folks
on water are seeing significantly higher
than that so thanks again to Corsair as
well as to MSI oh actually that's funny look at that this product is made
collaboratively by both of our sponsors for the show this year for bringing us
to computex Corsair's Big Thing They want me to draw your attention to is the
lap dog that couch mechanical keyboard
full mouse pad gaming experience and for MSI they want me to be chatting you guys
up about the agis X so that is their new
desktop as well as their new GTX 108
gaming X so that's obviously a GTX 1080
although personally I think this one's cooler but whatever don't miss any
