last time on lineus Tech tips we took
128 GB of unbuffered ddr4 memory and put
it into a gaming motherboard this time we're going to cram as much RAM as
possible into a Gigabyte bricks with some help from our friends at
intelligent memory and on the subject of intelligent is it a good idea to run a
computer inside a mini fridge should I sacrifice the mini fridge in the garage
at our office to find out smash that like button if you want to see it happen
the Kingston KC 310 series ssds we're using in our high-speed storage server
feature firmware based power Bloss protection Rock Solid performance and
large capacities up to 960 gigs click
right here to learn more so this video is actually pretty
straightforward from a mechanical standpoint just like any Intel knck or
bricks Mini PC this bricks is an ultra compact PC kit
uh specifically it's the BX I3
h-51 0 it comes with a case motherboard
external power supply Wi-Fi module and a core I3 CPU it's got four USB 3.0 ports
HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs an audio jack Ethernet power in and it's
super small and kind of cute so as usual
it's what's inside that counts and there's a Fair bit of neat stuff going
on in here number one this is on the
Leading Edge of Broadwell based PCS the core I3 510 U inside it is built on
Intel's latest 14 nmet process node making it pretty much a core M like in
the new Macbook that we reviewed here but with higher clock speeds and higher
power targets since it'll be plugged into the wall and it'll be actively
cooled but Intel made other improvements too performance on the CPU and GPU was
increased over Haswell and power consumption was dropped 30% but not all
of the improvements made it into the marketing decks and intelligent memory
clued Us in that on compatible Broadwell based systems it would actually be
possible to achieve higher than the official 16 gigs of rated memory
capacity support although this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since
these are the same pranksters that sent us 128 gigs of DDR3 to test the benefits
of over 100 gigs of memory in edel's workstation nearly a year ago so here
they are the creatively named intelligent memory 16 gig ddr3l memory
modules rated at 1333 MHz speeds at 1.35
or 1.5 volts and packed up in a so dim
four factor for your Ultra compact PC or
laptop convenience installing them was as simple as any memory you pop open the
bricks slot in the two sticks the way you normally would although you'll need
a storage drive if you want to actually boot up the system as well since this is a barebones PC and fire it up everything
showed up sort of normally with CPU Z
not giving as detailed a report on the modules as normal but Windows detecting
and using everything just fine and even
passing a torture test sick hey 32 gigs
of RAM in the palm of your hand but all
is not completely Rosy while our MSI gt7
two gaming notebook which is actually right here I got this also features a broad
well-based CPU and also managed to
detect the modules in the BIOS and even in Windows it reported only 32 gigs of
our 48 gigs of RAM as usable so if you
want to avoid running into a similar situation where you can't actually
utilize all your shiny new memory make sure you consult the official supported
list from intelligent memory since notebook maker support for this uh
actually along with Intel's support for this is unoficial
speaking of support.com if you call those guys you
actually talk to a person instead of being put through an automated menu and
they've got a different approach to mobile billing as well it's a pay for
what you use model versus the buffet model where you have to kind of like
imagine a buffet where you had to walk in and list like an itemized list of all
the things you were going to eat and then then if you don't end up eating that stuff you have to pay for it anyway
well that kind of sucks no Ting is more like the traditional Buffet you use and
pay for only exactly what you eat except you don't even have to commit to like
you know yeah I just want a salad but like the buffet salad looks pretty good
you don't actually have to spend the $16 in fact the average Ting bill is only
$24 per month if you're stuck in a contract and switch to Ting they will
cover 25% of your cancellation fee up to $75 and if all that sounds pretty good
then if you head over to our link lining. comom you can save another $25
in service credit or towards a new device so if you want to know if Ting's
going to work for you because you know hey well let pay as you go but how much
do you have to pay head over to lin. ting.com and try out the savings
calculator enter your last few bills and enter your last little bit of usage and
find out if Ting will save you money thanks for watching guys if this
video sucked I think you know what to do but if it was awesome come on 32 gigs of
RAM in here get subscribed hit that like
