00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2016 is brought to you by the Corsair

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:11,200
lap dog the gaming center that allows you to use a full-size keyboard and

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,880
mouse from your couch and by

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:18,199
MSI so we're here in the Corsair booth and they're showing off this is like

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,760
unbelievable I didn't even know these guys make memory anymore I mean it's

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,840
like keyboards This and like cases that

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,679
and guys like George coming in going we should do cases power supplies and

8
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:36,280
cooling well no no no this is a back to the RO product this right here is the

9
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:39,040
Dominator Platinum special edition ddr4

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:44,120
kit well kits there are actually two of them there's like a dark plated one and

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:45,480
a light plated one and the Vengeance LED

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,199
so I'm going to start with the Vengeance LED since that's the one that may

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:54,239
actually have some relevance to more than a handful of you they've taken

14
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:58,879
their Vengeance ID which is kind of that sort of sexy Corsair logo in the middle

15
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:02,559
and then accents on the outsides and they've added LED to them they're going

16
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,720
to be available in two different colors red and white to start and they support

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,840
a couple of different LED lighting modes so you can see here they're not RGB so

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,280
they don't cycle colors but they're able to kind of breathe and turn on and off

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:21,360
and stuff like that the software is very very beta right now but it's going to be

20
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,680
controllable through Corsair link and I

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,600
guess that's pretty much all there is to say about it there are dual Channel kits

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,200
and quad Channel kits available all the way up to frequency is as high as 4,300

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:36,320
meh now let's get on to the special edition

24
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:41,840
now I hate it when companies do a special edition that's basically just SE

25
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:46,880
and there's no sort of limited quantity because you know what the SE stands for

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,360
in those cases like well you you know

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:55,439
what the S is for an addition okay it's usually just like we need to sell this

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,320
thing um what what can we put on the box

29
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:04,159
SE terrible so no these are going to be limited to 500 units each only 500 units

30
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:10,959
will be available they will be individually numbered and these are a

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,959
dominator Platinum LED lit memory kit so

32
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:18,239
there's going to be a 4x8 for the quad Channel enthusiasts and a 2x6 for guys

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:24,519
running on the z170 platform and they are running at ddr4 3200 now no one in

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:30,239
the booth can confirm or deny this for me but I would speculate that if they

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,840
were doing a handpicked 500 unit run

36
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:36,959
that 3200 probably isn't the max that you could expect these to run at and

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,480
they are going to look absolutely sick in your system which as you guys

38
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:51,239
probably know is pretty much how I shop for memory these days now this this is

39
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:55,080
cool this is the MSI Corsair Seahawk GTX

40
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:57,440
1080 now they did a 980 TI before so

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:02,760
this isn't an entirely New Concept Corsair working on the cooler MSI I

42
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:08,080
working on the GPU itself and slapping all that together for a cool quiet

43
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:13,440
maximum overclocking gaming experience but the big difference this time is that

44
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:19,720
even though this product is kind of hiding in a corner in the booth because

45
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,519
they don't have a finalized PCB layout

46
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,400
they don't have finalized clock speeds I mean I wouldn't even be surprised if the

47
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,080
back plate graphic design isn't even finalized they are claiming that instead

48
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,080
of being 9 months late this time there are going to be two weeks after the

49
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,959
general availability of GTX 1080 graphics cards and ready to start

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:48,000
selling this puppy so thanks to the single 120 mm radiator and 120 mm fan

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Corsair is saying look we are removing all the thermal limitations and while

52
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:57,959
NVIDIA was showing off clock speeds like 2 GHz at their launch event some folks

53
00:03:54,519 --> 00:04:01,280
on water are seeing significantly higher

54
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:03,720
than that so thanks again to Corsair as

55
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:08,120
well as to MSI oh actually that's funny look at that this product is made

56
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:12,799
collaboratively by both of our sponsors for the show this year for bringing us

57
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:18,000
to computex Corsair's Big Thing They want me to draw your attention to is the

58
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,840
lap dog that couch mechanical keyboard

59
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,479
full mouse pad gaming experience and for MSI they want me to be chatting you guys

60
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:29,960
up about the agis X so that is their new

61
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:33,840
desktop as well as their new GTX 108

62
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,320
gaming X so that's obviously a GTX 1080

63
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:41,160
although personally I think this one's cooler but whatever don't miss any

64
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:46,360
