1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,120 So, G-Skill sent out a press release on the 19th of December with this picture 2 00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:15,360 in it. Naturally, my initial reaction was to freak the math out. But pictures 3 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:22,359 on the internet could have been planted there by the dishonest media, right? 4 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,760 I've been told that RGB RAM, if not 5 00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:28,720 impossible, is impractical due to the 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:36,200 signal integrity issues that already exist with even single LED color 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:39,520 high-speed computer memory. So, I 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,320 demanded proof. I immediately sent them 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:49,079 an email asking to be the first to showcase their groundbreaking entrance 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:54,960 into the RGB product arena. 11 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:57,560 And it's here, the Trident Z RGB memory 12 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,630 from 13 00:01:05,479 --> 00:01:13,360 GSkill. The Essentials Kit from Cable Mod gives you everything needed to give 14 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,360 your rig a professionally sleeved look. 15 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Check it out at the link in the video description. 16 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,799 Okay, so here it is on my usual X99 Deluxe 2 test bench. By default, out of 17 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:34,320 the box, it comes with this kind of rainbow wave effect that imo looks dope 18 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,640 AF, but it's not synchronized with any 19 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:43,200 of the other lighting in your system or even synchronized between the memory 20 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,560 sticks installed in the system. So 21 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:52,079 considering then that there are five individually addressable RGB zones along 22 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:58,079 each of the modules, it would be a crying shame if we limited ourselves to 23 00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:01,759 just that, wouldn't it? So let's kick 24 00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:03,600 things up a notch. Trident ZRGB modules 25 00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,200 can be controlled a couple of ways. You can use ASUS Aura to synchronize their 26 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:14,959 RGB lighting with the rest of your system, or you can use GSKill's own 27 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,440 software, which I've obtained an early copy of on the condition that I don't 28 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:28,000 show the interface since it's not yet final. And on the subject of non-final 29 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:31,160 software, X99, Z170, AMD Ryzen chipsets, 30 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,040 and motherboard manufacturers other than 31 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:38,239 ASUS will be supported soon, TM, but 32 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:43,360 they don't work yet. Hence, the swap out 33 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,800 to the Maximus 9 code. All right, so now 34 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,040 that we're rocking a compatible motherboard, we get to play around with 35 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:55,800 all the different options in GSkill software. So, let's try some of these 36 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:59,840 modes then, shall we? Damn, there are a 37 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:02,959 lot of cool settings in here. So, you 38 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,480 can configure different solid colors. 39 00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:08,879 You can set up any one of a ton of 40 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:14,159 different canned animations. There's the ability to synchronize your effects 41 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,200 between modules and even the option to 42 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,680 configure the colors of every one of the 43 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,720 five color zones on each module 44 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:28,840 individually. I got to be honest with you guys, I think I'm starting to catch 45 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,760 the RGB bug here. I mean, this is 46 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:39,280 great. Why not do the video card next? I mean, who needs a a Titan XP when you 47 00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:44,080 can have a GTX 1050 Ti stricks with Aura 48 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:46,720 RGB support? Yes, my friends. So, now 49 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,519 that the video card is color cycling in sync with the rest of my system, I'm 50 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:56,400 kind of thinking to myself, the sky's is the 51 00:03:53,239 --> 00:03:59,200 limit. Next stage, let's rip all of 52 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:04,640 these power supply cables out of here. Let's clean up the old test bench. Get 53 00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:08,560 her looking spiffy and beautiful. And 54 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,599 maybe ah yes, this is a nice touch. 55 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Let's throw a couple of cable mods RGB 56 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:19,840 strips, which incidentally happen to also be aura ready and compatible with 57 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,199 the RGB headers that you'll find at the top and bottom of the board. So, we can 58 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,400 get those synchronized with the rest of the board's lighting for some wicked 59 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:36,320 underglow effects, leaving the only standout 60 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,960 really awful thing about this build, the 61 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:44,960 Noctua fans. The performance is great, but I 62 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:51,759 think the final finishing touch here has to be a couple of Corsair's HD fans. 63 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:57,919 their new RGB fans with a little separate controller module that lets you 64 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,440 pick colors and lighting effects. And 65 00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:05,520 finally, we're done. I present to you 66 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,600 the Lionus Test Bench 2.0, which is 67 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:13,080 falling apart when I do that. Now with 68 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:15,960 2,000% more RGB 69 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:19,919 lighting. Isn't it beautiful, my friends? So, thanks for watching, guys. 70 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,120 If you dislikes, dislike. If you liked, then like, get subscribed. Maybe 71 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:27,919 consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description. Also down there is 72 00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:30,960 our t-shirt store and our community forum, which you should totally join. 73 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:36,880 Now that you're done doing all that, you're probably wondering what to watch next. So, check out our video 74 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,680 suggestion, which will be chosen probably by Nick because we have like a 75 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,199 new outro animation thing. Maybe by the time this video goes up. What I'm saying 76 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,199 right now won't make a ton of sense if it's the same old outro animation.
