1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,960
so today I'm going to be unboxing kind of a cool product from g-skill this is

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:11,480
their ecoseries RAM and I realized yeah it's more unboxing RAM and there's not a

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,120
whole lot to talk about about RAM but what I want you to note about this

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,400
packaging is that they've gone and they've colored it green now green is a

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:23,039
common theme out there right now for computer parts people are bringing down

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:29,039
people are demanding Parts with lower power consumption while still demanding

7
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:33,800
higher performance in general so the Eco kit that we're looking at today what

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:40,239
makes this kit green is the fact that it actually uses very very low voltages to

9
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:45,480
achieve its operating speed so this particular kit that I'm looking at right

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,760
here is actually a DDR3 1600 MHz kit so

11
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:52,280
it's a reasonable speed cast latency of seven that's fairly good as well but

12
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,600
what's really exceptional about it is it runs at 1.35 volts even a few months ago

13
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:02,760
a stick like this would have definitely been running at 1.6

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,400
because the binning just wasn't that good yet for DDR3 modules now you can

15
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,240
have a look at the heat spreader here it's a fairly bog standard heat spreader

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:15,560
you got your G skill logo here you got kind of a cool uh you know blady wavy

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,360
sort of design the top has little ventilation holes you can see our oh

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,600
yeah know it's applied properly yeah yeah it just hooks in at either end and

19
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:29,119
then there's little holes so it's a dual Channel kit that means that it is

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:32,119
optimized for H sorry I'm still in like

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,280
my gym strip here uh so that means it is

22
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:38,520
optimized for the core i5 core i7 LGA

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,479
1156 platform and the reason that gkill

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,640
has been working so hard to drive down voltage first with an update to the rip

25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:49,079
Jaws series and then with this new Eco series is that the core i5 and core i7

26
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,200
CPUs with their integrated memory controller will actually last much

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,719
longer the lower the memory voltage you use so thank you for checking out my

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,280
unboxing and product overview of the gskill ecoseries RAM
