00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.839
this is the Kingston hyperx fan I was

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

00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:14.120
be doing an unboxing memory is not included which Kingston so helpfully

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:17.160
points out right on the front this is one of the sharper looking memory fans

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

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:24.199
a quick look at the specs which we'll find on the back features are maximize

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.279
your performance potential with hyperx memory and probably any other memory

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.960
twin fans direct air flow onto the memory modules and the blue an ized fan

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.559
assembly fits most gaming systems it is

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:41.200
whisper quiet at 28 DB maximum and it is

00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:43.039
uh 12vt rated with an 8vt to 13 volt

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.160
operational range so they are saying that it can be undervolted the fan spin

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:52.480
at 3,000 RPM and why don't we get this

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:56.239
box opened up I will use my handy

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.160
scissors to slice open the packaging

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

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:06.640
cut a little Gap in the packaging and then I will peel it back with my

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:16.000
hands cameraman is giving me one of those looks like what are you doing but

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:20.079
I don't care because I'm not accountable

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.880
to him so my phone's ringing back at my

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

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:31.520
and installation guide so it is 100% tested that means that it's not like

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

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:39.960
that fan 100% tested with an Infinity

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:42.880
lifetime warranty that is awesome this is the only RAM fan I've seen with a

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.240
lifetime warranty and then here's a quick

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:51.799
installation guide and I guess I'd better get started on uh on this

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:58.200
installation process so that I can actually show you how to do it on camera

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.119
before you get bored okay so we find the

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

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

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

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:18.440
can just see the black braided sleeving looks very nice these appear to be led

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.920
their packaging here I got one clip out

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

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.599
surprised because unlike some of the other RAM fans I've seen they use like

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:54.200
quite a thick gauge of metal for the clips it's got a nice blue anodized

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

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:02.480
looking and they've got the Kingston hyperx X in both sides sides there so

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:07.200
it's very Kingston branded but you kind of expect that when you buy a product

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:11.879
that's basically just designed to sit on top of your other Kingston product and

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.799
it's made by Kingston okay so these thumb screws come with the washers

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.680
pre-applied so someone uh is is actually

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:22.920
putting washers on every thumb screw before they ship these things for you

00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:26.799
which is pretty great in my opinion because you see so many products these

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

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

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.840
Corsair one here unlike the Corsair one there's that here actually let me put

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:46.280
the screw in first before I say this is really good because it might be terrible

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.680
still uh hold on okay that goes in there

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.519
so there's a little washer okay so that just screws in right there and then

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.920
let's do the other side really quick so that just threads right into the top

00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:03.439
piece oh shoot I put it in the wrong way uh-oh hold on trouble trouble

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.920
back up abort abort there there now it's

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:10.480
in the oh actually hold on maybe it goes here then does it go

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

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:18.840
way or another based on how short these screws are though I'm assuming it goes

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:25.000
kind of in the top there so I'm just going to yep there we

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.360
go get that there oh oh it went in the

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

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

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:40.280
still give Kingston kudos for having like a place where it just kind of sits

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.280
and is centered because the Corsair one is like really hard to hold in the right

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

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.160
more difficult so you know I kind of

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

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

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

00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.680
let's get this last screw put on here cameraman's getting impatient he's not

00:05:07.479 --> 00:05:14.400
even like looking at what I'm doing anymore he's just holding the camera

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:16.600
he's just you know phoning it in okay so

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.560
even because of the way ASUS designed these memory slots but that's not really

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.600
a big deal the hyperx fan sits quite

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.880
high up over the memory so you'd actually be able to use tall modules

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:50.800
whether from Kingston or or some other manufacturer without the memory fan

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

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

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:05.160
cameraman has uh has PC power cords lying around he's learning from the best

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:07.599
here so let's plug this in and then um

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

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

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

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

00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:28.360
little bit because it was actually interfering with my CPU fan so you don't

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:33.080
want to move it over so far that it brushes up against the CPU youan but

00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:36.919
that looks great on the Rampage 3 Extreme which I I wouldn't have really

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:41.479
expected because it's a red and black themed motherboard but you go and put

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

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

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

00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:00.479
fan cameraman move close so they can

00:06:58.039 --> 00:07:04.800
hear you can't really hear it anyway because it's pretty quiet anyway there

00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:11.560
you have it that is the hyperx fan unboxing and uh and first look and it

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:12.960
looks pretty good at first look thank
