WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.120 So, G-Skill sent out a press release on the 19th of December with this picture 00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:15.360 in it. Naturally, my initial reaction was to freak the math out. But pictures 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:22.359 on the internet could have been planted there by the dishonest media, right? 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.760 I've been told that RGB RAM, if not 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:28.720 impossible, is impractical due to the 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:36.200 signal integrity issues that already exist with even single LED color 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:39.520 high-speed computer memory. So, I 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:42.320 demanded proof. I immediately sent them 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:49.079 an email asking to be the first to showcase their groundbreaking entrance 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:54.960 into the RGB product arena. 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:57.560 And it's here, the Trident Z RGB memory 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.630 from 00:01:05.479 --> 00:01:13.360 GSkill. The Essentials Kit from Cable Mod gives you everything needed to give 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.360 your rig a professionally sleeved look. 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:20.000 Check it out at the link in the video description. 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 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:34.320 the box, it comes with this kind of rainbow wave effect that imo looks dope 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.640 AF, but it's not synchronized with any 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:43.200 of the other lighting in your system or even synchronized between the memory 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.560 sticks installed in the system. So 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:52.079 considering then that there are five individually addressable RGB zones along 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:58.079 each of the modules, it would be a crying shame if we limited ourselves to 00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:01.759 just that, wouldn't it? So let's kick 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.600 things up a notch. Trident ZRGB modules 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:09.200 can be controlled a couple of ways. You can use ASUS Aura to synchronize their 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:14.959 RGB lighting with the rest of your system, or you can use GSKill's own 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.440 software, which I've obtained an early copy of on the condition that I don't 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:28.000 show the interface since it's not yet final. And on the subject of non-final 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:31.160 software, X99, Z170, AMD Ryzen chipsets, 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.040 and motherboard manufacturers other than 00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:38.239 ASUS will be supported soon, TM, but 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:43.360 they don't work yet. Hence, the swap out 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.800 to the Maximus 9 code. All right, so now 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.040 that we're rocking a compatible motherboard, we get to play around with 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:55.800 all the different options in GSkill software. So, let's try some of these 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:59.840 modes then, shall we? Damn, there are a 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:02.959 lot of cool settings in here. So, you 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.480 can configure different solid colors. 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:08.879 You can set up any one of a ton of 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:14.159 different canned animations. There's the ability to synchronize your effects 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.200 between modules and even the option to 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.680 configure the colors of every one of the 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:22.720 five color zones on each module 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:28.840 individually. I got to be honest with you guys, I think I'm starting to catch 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.760 the RGB bug here. I mean, this is 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 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:44.080 can have a GTX 1050 Ti stricks with Aura 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:46.720 RGB support? Yes, my friends. So, now 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 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:56.400 kind of thinking to myself, the sky's is the 00:03:53.239 --> 00:03:59.200 limit. Next stage, let's rip all of 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:04.640 these power supply cables out of here. Let's clean up the old test bench. Get 00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:08.560 her looking spiffy and beautiful. And 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.599 maybe ah yes, this is a nice touch. 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.560 Let's throw a couple of cable mods RGB 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:19.840 strips, which incidentally happen to also be aura ready and compatible with 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 00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:29.400 get those synchronized with the rest of the board's lighting for some wicked 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:36.320 underglow effects, leaving the only standout 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.960 really awful thing about this build, the 00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:44.960 Noctua fans. The performance is great, but I 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:51.759 think the final finishing touch here has to be a couple of Corsair's HD fans. 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:57.919 their new RGB fans with a little separate controller module that lets you 00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:01.440 pick colors and lighting effects. And 00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:05.520 finally, we're done. I present to you 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.600 the Lionus Test Bench 2.0, which is 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:13.080 falling apart when I do that. Now with 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:15.960 2,000% more RGB 00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:19.919 lighting. Isn't it beautiful, my friends? So, thanks for watching, guys. 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.120 If you dislikes, dislike. If you liked, then like, get subscribed. Maybe 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 00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:30.960 our t-shirt store and our community forum, which you should totally join. 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 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:41.680 suggestion, which will be chosen probably by Nick because we have like a 00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:45.199 new outro animation thing. Maybe by the time this video goes up. What I'm saying 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.
