00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:07.279
so today I'm unboxing more of a series than a specific product this is the

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:11.320
g-skill rip Jaws series now these didn't just launch but what's special about

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.000
this particular RAM is that it is optimized for the core i5 and they've

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:21.760
actually recently made some revisions so a lot of the rip Jaws SKS have now been

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:24.640
changed over to 1.6 volts rather than

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

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

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:40.239
much lower voltage which means less heat and of course longer term reliability

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.480
now the core i5 is actually a little bit

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

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:53.440
the memory controller so that is why gskill even though it's still specked

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.600
for 1.65 on the Intel side has actually

00:00:53.440 --> 00:01:00.199
gone and reduce the voltage even further by more aggressively binning their chips

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:03.600
now in terms of binning the RAM chip gskill modules are actually known to

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:09.439
reach speeds quite a bit higher than what they're rated for but these

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:11.400
particular ones are DDR 3600 cl7 modules

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.680
and they're quite reasonably priced now let's have a quick look at the RAM

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

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

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:27.040
got your sticker do not remove warranty void if removed and it lists your specs

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

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

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.240
can see that the way they've positioned the heat spreader is such that when you

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:44.759
have it actually installed in a computer heat is able to dissipate up the tunnel

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

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

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:58.280
way and they block air from actually flowing naturally as the heat rises off

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:01.759
the memory module that said it's debatable how much of a difference a

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.680
heat spr makes but these do look really cool when you install them in your

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.920
system thank you for checking out my video unboxing of the gskill rip Jaws
