some of you think RGB lighting is cool
Ed and you wear your RGB Pride on your
sleeve some of you are closet RGB lovers
hiding your secret passion under the blanket some of you couldn't be more
different from those people some of you
hate RGB you call it pointless stupid
cancer but whether you're sitting there ready to throw your wallet at your
screen or your palm at your forehead there's
one thing you all have in common right now a burning curiosity about who makes
the best RGB computer memory on the
market and I have the
answer Synergy is the amazing software
that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
check it out now at the link in the video
description for a company whose copypaste game is so weak that their
website actually contains references to kual channel memory the marketing spin
on G's Evo X is actually very good they
boast that their hilm approach enables
Dynamic RGB lighting without any
performance or stability penalty because
it separates the RGB lighting components
from the rest of the PCB and their use
of a standard four pin connector means
across the board get it compatiability
with software lighting control across
any CPU type motherboard or even
breakout control box like the ones cable mod includes with their case lighting
kits and they even include four basic
presets on a little switch if you want to power it from the other side of the
module off a 9V or a 12volt fan header
all of that makes a lot of sense in my mind so I
get wait a minute this is just an RGB
strip taped to a normal RAM module I
mean they couldn't even get the thing to sit on there straight and that ignores
that you will need power or Force pin
RGB leads running to every individual
module a cable management
nightmare what the evox does have going
for it is that top to bottom J's lineup
passes the R&D savings directly to the consumer coming in by far the cheapest
out of all our RGB RAM with a wide range
of capacities and speeds available though only a handful of them were in
stock at Newegg Corsair's Vengeance RGB ddr4 represents
a significant Step Up in cost but in
return you get a whole lot more product
development they not only custombuilt their modules to allow the RGB lights to
be powered directly from the memory slot
but they actually built their RGB controller with storage that allows you
to change your lighting effects through the OS the memory section of link isn't
especially comprehensive but I'd say most of the important bases are covered
breathing pulsing shifting And Delay
adjustments for dim to- dim animations with brightness adjustments apparently
coming soon and Corsair gets credit for
learning from their experience launching the k70 RGB keyboard it's really easy to
use this time another nice touch is that Corsair allows you to flip your light
bar cover so that the logos are all aligned on x99 boards overall
compatibility is pretty darn good with both MSI Mystic flare and Gigabyte RGB
Fusion working on Intel and supported in
beta on ryzen though that doesn't fully make up
for the product lineup that's limited to 8 gig modules or the lack of support for
ASUS AA sync especially when you consider
the price par with G skills equivalent
spec Trident Z RGB
kits this stuff is bananes they managed
to power the RGB lighting effects
through the dim slot just like Corsair
they worked evidently with a Seuss as
far as I can tell on their comprehensive RGB lighting Control software the
interface is nearly identical to Ara
and they threw in individually addressable LEDs to take their Swagger
to a whole other level so you can run
breathing pulsing flashing rainbow
effects and so much more on individual
dims or synced up between multiple ones
the software is all still beta and
programming it is a little unintuitive and tedious but but it's pretty darn
rewarding as long as you've got a compatible system Intel and AMD are
supported on Aus with MSI ASRock and
Gigabyte support still pending but to
their credit they have a huge variety of products available all the way up to
3600 MHz high density kits with 16 gig
dims that is to say if you're willing to
pay more than twice what G charges for
their RGB kits on a per gig
basis so bottom line then G's solution
while not much of an engineering step up from gluing an RGB strip to the top of
your memory module is inexpensive and
boasts the strongest compatibility with older systems and off-the-shelf lighting
control kits gskill is the most featur
rich but relies on more limited platform
support for anything but the stock rainbow wave animation and coair strikes
a fine balance between broader compatibility and eliminating cable
clutter so the answer then to the big
question as usual is I guess it
depends do you need both a Mac and a PC
for the different tasks that you do or do you have your own home computer and a
work assigned laptop that you need to use at the same time well forget about
having two keyboards and two mice that's stupid Synergy allows you to share one
mouse and keyboard between two or more
computers so you'll no longer get confused about which keyboard or Mouse
is for which and it even works across multiple operating systems Windows Mac
and Linux there's a basic and a pro
version with one-time payment and lifetime access to features like a
clipboard that shares between the computers dragging and dropping files
between the computers the ability to set up hot keys and more you can use our
