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

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

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.120
whole lot to talk about about RAM but what I want you to note about this

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.400
packaging is that they've gone and they've colored it green now green is a

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:23.039
common theme out there right now for computer parts people are bringing down

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:29.039
people are demanding Parts with lower power consumption while still demanding

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.800
higher performance in general so the Eco kit that we're looking at today what

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:40.239
makes this kit green is the fact that it actually uses very very low voltages to

00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:45.480
achieve its operating speed so this particular kit that I'm looking at right

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:47.760
here is actually a DDR3 1600 MHz kit so

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:52.280
it's a reasonable speed cast latency of seven that's fairly good as well but

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

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:02.760
a stick like this would have definitely been running at 1.6

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.400
because the binning just wasn't that good yet for DDR3 modules now you can

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.240
have a look at the heat spreader here it's a fairly bog standard heat spreader

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

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.360
sort of design the top has little ventilation holes you can see our oh

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.600
yeah know it's applied properly yeah yeah it just hooks in at either end and

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

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.119
optimized for H sorry I'm still in like

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.280
my gym strip here uh so that means it is

00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:38.520
optimized for the core i5 core i7 LGA

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.479
1156 platform and the reason that gkill

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:44.640
has been working so hard to drive down voltage first with an update to the rip

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

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:53.200
CPUs with their integrated memory controller will actually last much

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.719
longer the lower the memory voltage you use so thank you for checking out my

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:01.280
unboxing and product overview of the gskill ecoseries RAM
