00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:07,279
so today I'm unboxing more of a series than a specific product this is the

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,320
g-skill rip Jaws series now these didn't just launch but what's special about

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,000
this particular RAM is that it is optimized for the core i5 and they've

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:21,760
actually recently made some revisions so a lot of the rip Jaws SKS have now been

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:24,640
changed over to 1.6 volts rather than

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:28,519
1.65 volts now what that means as I'm and I'm going to start opening the box

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,960
here while I explain this is that you can run them at their rated speed at a

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:40,239
much lower voltage which means less heat and of course longer term reliability

9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,480
now the core i5 is actually a little bit

10
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:48,239
less resilient than the core i7 the old core i7 on LGA 1366 to high voltages on

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:53,440
the memory controller so that is why gskill even though it's still specked

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,600
for 1.65 on the Intel side has actually

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,199
gone and reduce the voltage even further by more aggressively binning their chips

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,600
now in terms of binning the RAM chip gskill modules are actually known to

15
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:09,439
reach speeds quite a bit higher than what they're rated for but these

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,400
particular ones are DDR 3600 cl7 modules

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:14,680
and they're quite reasonably priced now let's have a quick look at the RAM

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,479
spreader itself first of all you can see it's got like a black white and red

19
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:22,439
theme very Canadian I really like it of course and then on the other side you've

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,040
got your sticker do not remove warranty void if removed and it lists your specs

21
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:31,439
there as well so this is a 4 gig kit and I already mentioned the uh voltage and

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:36,280
the speeds I just want to have a quick look down the heat spreader here so you

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:40,240
can see that the way they've positioned the heat spreader is such that when you

24
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:44,759
have it actually installed in a computer heat is able to dissipate up the tunnel

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,719
sort of here like that okay I realize it's kind of trivial it's not going to

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,520
make a huge difference in cooling but I've seen some pretty stupid RAM spreaders where the fins come out this

27
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:58,280
way and they block air from actually flowing naturally as the heat rises off

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,759
the memory module that said it's debatable how much of a difference a

29
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,680
heat spr makes but these do look really cool when you install them in your

30
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,920
system thank you for checking out my video unboxing of the gskill rip Jaws
