1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,240
some of you think RGB lighting is cool

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:11,519
Ed and you wear your RGB Pride on your

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:14,160
sleeve some of you are closet RGB lovers

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:20,720
hiding your secret passion under the blanket some of you couldn't be more

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:25,519
different from those people some of you

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,880
hate RGB you call it pointless stupid

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:30,560
cancer but whether you're sitting there ready to throw your wallet at your

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:35,879
screen or your palm at your forehead there's

9
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:42,760
one thing you all have in common right now a burning curiosity about who makes

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,710
the best RGB computer memory on the

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:55,079
market and I have the

12
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:00,600
answer Synergy is the amazing software

13
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:05,400
that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,040
check it out now at the link in the video

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:14,880
description for a company whose copypaste game is so weak that their

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:22,280
website actually contains references to kual channel memory the marketing spin

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,920
on G's Evo X is actually very good they

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,920
boast that their hilm approach enables

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,079
Dynamic RGB lighting without any

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,360
performance or stability penalty because

21
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,799
it separates the RGB lighting components

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:42,280
from the rest of the PCB and their use

23
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:46,200
of a standard four pin connector means

24
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:49,200
across the board get it compatiability

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,360
with software lighting control across

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,880
any CPU type motherboard or even

27
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,920
breakout control box like the ones cable mod includes with their case lighting

28
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:02,640
kits and they even include four basic

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:08,959
presets on a little switch if you want to power it from the other side of the

30
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:11,480
module off a 9V or a 12volt fan header

31
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:17,840
all of that makes a lot of sense in my mind so I

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,560
get wait a minute this is just an RGB

33
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,200
strip taped to a normal RAM module I

34
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:30,239
mean they couldn't even get the thing to sit on there straight and that ignores

35
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:33,560
that you will need power or Force pin

36
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:36,560
RGB leads running to every individual

37
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,920
module a cable management

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,840
nightmare what the evox does have going

39
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,440
for it is that top to bottom J's lineup

40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:54,159
passes the R&D savings directly to the consumer coming in by far the cheapest

41
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,280
out of all our RGB RAM with a wide range

42
00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,480
of capacities and speeds available though only a handful of them were in

43
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:08,120
stock at Newegg Corsair's Vengeance RGB ddr4 represents

44
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:11,200
a significant Step Up in cost but in

45
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,640
return you get a whole lot more product

46
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,519
development they not only custombuilt their modules to allow the RGB lights to

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,120
be powered directly from the memory slot

48
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,319
but they actually built their RGB controller with storage that allows you

49
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:33,560
to change your lighting effects through the OS the memory section of link isn't

50
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:40,280
especially comprehensive but I'd say most of the important bases are covered

51
00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:42,720
breathing pulsing shifting And Delay

52
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:48,480
adjustments for dim to- dim animations with brightness adjustments apparently

53
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,319
coming soon and Corsair gets credit for

54
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:57,360
learning from their experience launching the k70 RGB keyboard it's really easy to

55
00:03:54,519 --> 00:04:02,239
use this time another nice touch is that Corsair allows you to flip your light

56
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:07,879
bar cover so that the logos are all aligned on x99 boards overall

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:14,040
compatibility is pretty darn good with both MSI Mystic flare and Gigabyte RGB

58
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Fusion working on Intel and supported in

59
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:21,400
beta on ryzen though that doesn't fully make up

60
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:27,240
for the product lineup that's limited to 8 gig modules or the lack of support for

61
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:34,280
ASUS AA sync especially when you consider

62
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,280
the price par with G skills equivalent

63
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:42,280
spec Trident Z RGB

64
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:45,400
kits this stuff is bananes they managed

65
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,720
to power the RGB lighting effects

66
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,720
through the dim slot just like Corsair

67
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,440
they worked evidently with a Seuss as

68
00:04:51,720 --> 00:05:00,160
far as I can tell on their comprehensive RGB lighting Control software the

69
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,120
interface is nearly identical to Ara

70
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:09,280
and they threw in individually addressable LEDs to take their Swagger

71
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:13,160
to a whole other level so you can run

72
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:17,720
breathing pulsing flashing rainbow

73
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:21,680
effects and so much more on individual

74
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:25,360
dims or synced up between multiple ones

75
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,960
the software is all still beta and

76
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:33,120
programming it is a little unintuitive and tedious but but it's pretty darn

77
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:40,720
rewarding as long as you've got a compatible system Intel and AMD are

78
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:44,240
supported on Aus with MSI ASRock and

79
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Gigabyte support still pending but to

80
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:52,800
their credit they have a huge variety of products available all the way up to

81
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:55,800
3600 MHz high density kits with 16 gig

82
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:59,960
dims that is to say if you're willing to

83
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:03,280
pay more than twice what G charges for

84
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:07,199
their RGB kits on a per gig

85
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,160
basis so bottom line then G's solution

86
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:15,120
while not much of an engineering step up from gluing an RGB strip to the top of

87
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,560
your memory module is inexpensive and

88
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:23,759
boasts the strongest compatibility with older systems and off-the-shelf lighting

89
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:26,919
control kits gskill is the most featur

90
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,759
rich but relies on more limited platform

91
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:34,400
support for anything but the stock rainbow wave animation and coair strikes

92
00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:40,280
a fine balance between broader compatibility and eliminating cable

93
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:44,240
clutter so the answer then to the big

94
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:47,639
question as usual is I guess it

95
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,520
depends do you need both a Mac and a PC

96
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:53,440
for the different tasks that you do or do you have your own home computer and a

97
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:59,080
work assigned laptop that you need to use at the same time well forget about

98
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:05,199
having two keyboards and two mice that's stupid Synergy allows you to share one

99
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:07,160
mouse and keyboard between two or more

100
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:12,280
computers so you'll no longer get confused about which keyboard or Mouse

101
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:18,360
is for which and it even works across multiple operating systems Windows Mac

102
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:20,199
and Linux there's a basic and a pro

103
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,440
version with one-time payment and lifetime access to features like a

104
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:27,800
clipboard that shares between the computers dragging and dropping files

105
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:32,160
between the computers the ability to set up hot keys and more you can use our
