1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,839
this is the Kingston hyperx fan I was

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,440
not expecting to receive one of these in the mail but I did so now we're going to

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:14,120
be doing an unboxing memory is not included which Kingston so helpfully

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,160
points out right on the front this is one of the sharper looking memory fans

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:20,240
that I've seen we'll have a closer look at it when I get it open but let's have

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,199
a quick look at the specs which we'll find on the back features are maximize

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,279
your performance potential with hyperx memory and probably any other memory

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:33,960
twin fans direct air flow onto the memory modules and the blue an ized fan

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,559
assembly fits most gaming systems it is

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:41,200
whisper quiet at 28 DB maximum and it is

11
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:43,039
uh 12vt rated with an 8vt to 13 volt

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:49,160
operational range so they are saying that it can be undervolted the fan spin

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:52,480
at 3,000 RPM and why don't we get this

14
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:56,239
box opened up I will use my handy

15
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,160
scissors to slice open the packaging

16
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,239
which did not work at all and so what I will do is I will use the scissors to

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,640
cut a little Gap in the packaging and then I will peel it back with my

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:16,000
hands cameraman is giving me one of those looks like what are you doing but

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,079
I don't care because I'm not accountable

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,880
to him so my phone's ringing back at my

21
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:26,680
desk but there's nothing I can do about that now here we are we have a warranty

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:31,520
and installation guide so it is 100% tested that means that it's not like

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:37,119
like 60 % tested where they test like the metal and the one fan and don't test

24
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:39,960
that fan 100% tested with an Infinity

25
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,880
lifetime warranty that is awesome this is the only RAM fan I've seen with a

26
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:47,240
lifetime warranty and then here's a quick

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,799
installation guide and I guess I'd better get started on uh on this

28
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:58,200
installation process so that I can actually show you how to do it on camera

29
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,119
before you get bored okay so we find the

30
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,799
which is quite wide and the camera turned off I'm not sure why the uh the

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,959
fan is got a braided sleeve on it and that is a very high quality sleeving you

32
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,720
can tell because you can't see the silver color of the fan wires at all you

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,440
can just see the black braided sleeving looks very nice these appear to be led

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,720
fans although I um I guess I'd Hazard a guess that they're probably blue but I

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,160
don't know for sure that the LEDs are blue but they have 1 two three four LEDs

36
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,800
on each fan so this is going to look quite sharp when it's installed in your

37
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,160
system so here let me I'll just kind of put that there and you can sort of

38
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:39,319
visualize what it's going to look like while I work on getting the clips out of

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,920
their packaging here I got one clip out

40
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:46,319
so the clips look like this these are actually really nice I I'm a little bit

41
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,599
surprised because unlike some of the other RAM fans I've seen they use like

42
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,200
quite a thick gauge of metal for the clips it's got a nice blue anodized

43
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,920
finish it's actually got quite a bit of glitter to it it's so it's quite sharp

44
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:02,480
looking and they've got the Kingston hyperx X in both sides sides there so

45
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,200
it's very Kingston branded but you kind of expect that when you buy a product

46
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,879
that's basically just designed to sit on top of your other Kingston product and

47
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:16,799
it's made by Kingston okay so these thumb screws come with the washers

48
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,680
pre-applied so someone uh is is actually

49
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:22,920
putting washers on every thumb screw before they ship these things for you

50
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:26,799
which is pretty great in my opinion because you see so many products these

51
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:32,799
days that just have sort of you know a bag of here's all the hardware oh this I

52
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:37,000
like check this out okay unlike and I'm I'm going to go ahead and call out the

53
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,840
Corsair one here unlike the Corsair one there's that here actually let me put

54
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:46,280
the screw in first before I say this is really good because it might be terrible

55
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,680
still uh hold on okay that goes in there

56
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,519
so there's a little washer okay so that just screws in right there and then

57
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,920
let's do the other side really quick so that just threads right into the top

58
00:03:54,599 --> 00:04:03,439
piece oh shoot I put it in the wrong way uh-oh hold on trouble trouble

59
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,920
back up abort abort there there now it's

60
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:10,480
in the oh actually hold on maybe it goes here then does it go

61
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:14,920
there no no that's for the fans this goes here yeah well we'll find out one

62
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:18,840
way or another based on how short these screws are though I'm assuming it goes

63
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:25,000
kind of in the top there so I'm just going to yep there we

64
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,360
go get that there oh oh it went in the

65
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
other place again oh there we go I figured it out okay so this wasn't as

66
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:36,039
easy to put on the clip as it initially looked like it was going to be but I

67
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,280
still give Kingston kudos for having like a place where it just kind of sits

68
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,280
and is centered because the Corsair one is like really hard to hold in the right

69
00:04:42,039 --> 00:04:50,520
place while you're trying to put it on and um that makes things a little bit

70
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,160
more difficult so you know I kind of

71
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,280
maybe what we'll do is we'll just um we'll grab a power cord from somewhere I

72
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,720
don't know if I have one in here and then we'll just like turn on that system

73
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:05,680
so you can see what it looks like when it's on too that would be pretty cool so

74
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,680
let's get this last screw put on here cameraman's getting impatient he's not

75
00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:14,400
even like looking at what I'm doing anymore he's just holding the camera

76
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:16,600
he's just you know phoning it in okay so

77
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,120
here we've got uh a fan header right there so in order to apply this you want

78
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,080
to go ahead and close all of those so you put the clip over the one side of

79
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,759
the RAM modules here camera man come over here so you can see what I'm doing

80
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,280
here so you put the clip over the one side of the memory modules and then you

81
00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:34,240
put the other clip over here now you can see that it's not going to sit quite

82
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,560
even because of the way ASUS designed these memory slots but that's not really

83
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,600
a big deal the hyperx fan sits quite

84
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,880
high up over the memory so you'd actually be able to use tall modules

85
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,800
whether from Kingston or or some other manufacturer without the memory fan

86
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,520
getting in the way so that's uh that's a pretty cool feature right there as well

87
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:59,639
so here let me see if I can find a power cord yeah I got one see look even

88
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:05,160
cameraman has uh has PC power cords lying around he's learning from the best

89
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:07,599
here so let's plug this in and then um

90
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,800
you know what I don't think I even have the motherboard plugged in so you're

91
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,080
going to have to bear with me here for just a second while I plug in the 24 pin

92
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,000
I wonder if that's going to be enough to get to start yeah hey that looks

93
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,440
terrific and here's something to be cognizant of um I got to move it over a

94
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,360
little bit because it was actually interfering with my CPU fan so you don't

95
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:33,080
want to move it over so far that it brushes up against the CPU youan but

96
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:36,919
that looks great on the Rampage 3 Extreme which I I wouldn't have really

97
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:41,479
expected because it's a red and black themed motherboard but you go and put

98
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,960
that like blue on there to go along with the blue CPU Cooler and it's uh looks

99
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,280
pretty cool it's blowing down a fair amount of air and uh I'll stop talking

100
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:58,039
for a minute here and let the cameraman move in close so you can hear how loud it is I'm just going to stop the CPU

101
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,479
fan cameraman move close so they can

102
00:06:58,039 --> 00:07:04,800
hear you can't really hear it anyway because it's pretty quiet anyway there

103
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:11,560
you have it that is the hyperx fan unboxing and uh and first look and it

104
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,960
looks pretty good at first look thank
