00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.240
some of you think RGB lighting is cool

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:11.519
Ed and you wear your RGB Pride on your

00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:14.160
sleeve some of you are closet RGB lovers

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:20.720
hiding your secret passion under the blanket some of you couldn't be more

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:25.519
different from those people some of you

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.880
hate RGB you call it pointless stupid

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.560
cancer but whether you're sitting there ready to throw your wallet at your

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:35.879
screen or your palm at your forehead there's

00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:42.760
one thing you all have in common right now a burning curiosity about who makes

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.710
the best RGB computer memory on the

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:55.079
market and I have the

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.600
answer Synergy is the amazing software

00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:05.400
that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:09.040
check it out now at the link in the video

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:14.880
description for a company whose copypaste game is so weak that their

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:22.280
website actually contains references to kual channel memory the marketing spin

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:25.920
on G's Evo X is actually very good they

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.920
boast that their hilm approach enables

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.079
Dynamic RGB lighting without any

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:35.360
performance or stability penalty because

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.799
it separates the RGB lighting components

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:42.280
from the rest of the PCB and their use

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.200
of a standard four pin connector means

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:49.200
across the board get it compatiability

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:52.360
with software lighting control across

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:54.880
any CPU type motherboard or even

00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:59.920
breakout control box like the ones cable mod includes with their case lighting

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:02.640
kits and they even include four basic

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

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:11.480
module off a 9V or a 12volt fan header

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:17.840
all of that makes a lot of sense in my mind so I

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:21.560
get wait a minute this is just an RGB

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.200
strip taped to a normal RAM module I

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:30.239
mean they couldn't even get the thing to sit on there straight and that ignores

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:33.560
that you will need power or Force pin

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:36.560
RGB leads running to every individual

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:39.920
module a cable management

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:43.840
nightmare what the evox does have going

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.440
for it is that top to bottom J's lineup

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:54.159
passes the R&D savings directly to the consumer coming in by far the cheapest

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.280
out of all our RGB RAM with a wide range

00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.480
of capacities and speeds available though only a handful of them were in

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:08.120
stock at Newegg Corsair's Vengeance RGB ddr4 represents

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:11.200
a significant Step Up in cost but in

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:13.640
return you get a whole lot more product

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:19.519
development they not only custombuilt their modules to allow the RGB lights to

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.120
be powered directly from the memory slot

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.319
but they actually built their RGB controller with storage that allows you

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:33.560
to change your lighting effects through the OS the memory section of link isn't

00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:40.280
especially comprehensive but I'd say most of the important bases are covered

00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:42.720
breathing pulsing shifting And Delay

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:48.480
adjustments for dim to- dim animations with brightness adjustments apparently

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:50.319
coming soon and Corsair gets credit for

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:57.360
learning from their experience launching the k70 RGB keyboard it's really easy to

00:03:54.519 --> 00:04:02.239
use this time another nice touch is that Corsair allows you to flip your light

00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:07.879
bar cover so that the logos are all aligned on x99 boards overall

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:14.040
compatibility is pretty darn good with both MSI Mystic flare and Gigabyte RGB

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:15.280
Fusion working on Intel and supported in

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:21.400
beta on ryzen though that doesn't fully make up

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

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:34.280
ASUS AA sync especially when you consider

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:37.280
the price par with G skills equivalent

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:42.280
spec Trident Z RGB

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:45.400
kits this stuff is bananes they managed

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:48.720
to power the RGB lighting effects

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:51.720
through the dim slot just like Corsair

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.440
they worked evidently with a Seuss as

00:04:51.720 --> 00:05:00.160
far as I can tell on their comprehensive RGB lighting Control software the

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:03.120
interface is nearly identical to Ara

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:09.280
and they threw in individually addressable LEDs to take their Swagger

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:13.160
to a whole other level so you can run

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:17.720
breathing pulsing flashing rainbow

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:21.680
effects and so much more on individual

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:25.360
dims or synced up between multiple ones

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.960
the software is all still beta and

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:33.120
programming it is a little unintuitive and tedious but but it's pretty darn

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:40.720
rewarding as long as you've got a compatible system Intel and AMD are

00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:44.240
supported on Aus with MSI ASRock and

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.400
Gigabyte support still pending but to

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:52.800
their credit they have a huge variety of products available all the way up to

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:55.800
3600 MHz high density kits with 16 gig

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:59.960
dims that is to say if you're willing to

00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:03.280
pay more than twice what G charges for

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:07.199
their RGB kits on a per gig

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:09.160
basis so bottom line then G's solution

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

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:17.560
your memory module is inexpensive and

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:23.759
boasts the strongest compatibility with older systems and off-the-shelf lighting

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:26.919
control kits gskill is the most featur

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.759
rich but relies on more limited platform

00:06:26.919 --> 00:06:34.400
support for anything but the stock rainbow wave animation and coair strikes

00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:40.280
a fine balance between broader compatibility and eliminating cable

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:44.240
clutter so the answer then to the big

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:47.639
question as usual is I guess it

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:49.520
depends do you need both a Mac and a PC

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

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:59.080
work assigned laptop that you need to use at the same time well forget about

00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:05.199
having two keyboards and two mice that's stupid Synergy allows you to share one

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:07.160
mouse and keyboard between two or more

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.280
computers so you'll no longer get confused about which keyboard or Mouse

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:18.360
is for which and it even works across multiple operating systems Windows Mac

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:20.199
and Linux there's a basic and a pro

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:24.440
version with one-time payment and lifetime access to features like a

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:27.800
clipboard that shares between the computers dragging and dropping files

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.160
between the computers the ability to set up hot keys and more you can use our
