today I have a product to unbox that is
so cool that it comes in three
boxes at the same time so this is actually I guess you
could probably do it in only two boxes but this is the mushkin copper head
memory kit and so I'm going to show you all the things that it comes with keep
your eyes on the boxes which one has what inside given that you don't know
what's inside any of them yet it's going to be very difficult to pick
out which one has the sexy memory
modules and which one has the water block that goes with them so the first
thing I'm going to show you guys is what I have here these are I actually
specifically asked for very basic memory
um but most of the copperhead SKS are going to be very very high-end memory um
in you know PC uh DDR3 2133 for example
these are only DDR3 uh 1600 kits okay so
these are 2x4 gig kits two of them for a
total of 16 gigs of RAM and this is going to be for my ultimate uh
extreme uh build guide okay so I'm going to have 16 gigs of mushin DDR3 now the
reason that I ended up going with the DDR 3600 versus like a 213 33 or an 1866
higher spec like that is that I opted for this machine to go with higher
capacity of RAM so if I had decided to go for a 2x4 so just 8 gigs of total RAM
then being able to get it to run at high frequencies is much easier whereas if I
go for lower frequencies then I can bulk up and I can throw in four sticks of
memory without worrying about any stability problems now here is where the
magic happens this I'm going to be careful not to
touch the top as much as possible is the mushin enhanced Copperhead water block
so what you do is you take these two pieces right here which are spacers that
have O-rings on them you put those spacers here okay you screw your uh your
Barbed um your threaded Barb into the top of it and you can actually install
any standard G1 qu fittings that you want onto the copperhead water block but
wait there's more you take the copper head water block
all right so we got our screws here position it over top of a copperhead
memory module and you can actually screw in any number of copperhead modules
whether it is three or four I think four is the max and you screw that in you put
some thermal interface material in between the top of the copperhead module
here which you can see is flat and the
bottom of the water block itself and
that is how you cool your memory using water cooling so what this allows you to
do is it allows you to install these modules and then the block on top of it
no matter what the spacing of your RAM slots is and it allows you to install
three three sticks in triple Channel or
up to four sticks in dual channel so stay tuned for my ultimate build guide
actually if you come over here you can see my in progress Ultimate machine
which will actually be a lot better when
I'm done with it so don't look too closely at it right
now and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the mushkin copper head
