WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.040 In the beginning, all RAM looked like this. Green PCBs, black chips, gold 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:14.679 contacts on the bottom. Boring. 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:17.600 Today, we have plasma RAM. Yes, my 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:23.800 friends, memory modules with freaking plasma tubes on the top in three 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:32.640 different colors. Let's have a look. 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.200 Intel's Skull Canyon Nook features a sixth generation Core i7 processor and 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.440 Thunderbolt 3. You can learn more at the link in the video 00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:48.079 description. Now, there are actually ways to spend more money on computer 00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:52.879 memory that offer meaningful benefits. For example, this is ECC registered 00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.840 memory. It has an extra chip in the middle. It does error correction on the 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:02.399 fly, meaning that's like a solar freaking, you know, flare or some crap 00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:08.640 flips a bit on your RAM. You are not going to compromise your data integrity, 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:10.960 at least in theory. But come on, 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:18.320 consumers don't want that stuff. They want flash, not Dash. So that is where 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.360 the whole idea of gussying up computer 00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:26.320 memory to make it look higher performance came from with guys like OCZ 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:32.000 and Corsair being among the first to take that regular boring memory I showed 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.600 you before and put heat spreaders on it. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.560 Heat spreaders in theory are a great idea. They spread the heat. So they take 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.680 the heat from the chips. They help dissipate it. And in the early days, you 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.159 could actually get more overclocking headroom out of better cooled memory, 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.439 like with BH5s or whatever. But it's less of an issue today. From there, they 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.920 went, "Well, let's get more creative about the heat spreaders." That's where we got like stylized heat spreaders. And 00:01:53.520 --> 00:02:00.640 these ones from Gkill look pretty darn good. I mean, taking it to the next 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.840 level was Corsair with LED lighting on their heat spreaders. And then, oh, 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.000 little Windows so you could see the LED lighting even better. But today's video 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.920 is not about any of those things. Today's video is about the culmination 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.640 of flashy memory that does not perform 00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.800 any better than any other RAM. That is to say, unless the other RAM is rated at 00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:24.879 a slower speed, because that is how you determine how fast memory is by the 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:31.520 speed it is rated at, not by how sexy it looks. the Raiden 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.680 series from Aexier, which we have here 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:39.440 in three different flavors, each of which is a different color. Let's check 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:47.440 them out. All right, so for my first trick, I will be installing the Raiden 00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:50.080 series 2666 MHz red Tesla ROG certified 00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:55.040 memory modules here. What makes them ROG certified? I'm not quite sure and I will 00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:00.519 never know because I'm actually installing them in a non ROG motherboard 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:04.400 because I am a rebel. Rebel right 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:12.239 here. They're actually surprisingly light. I had kind of expected them to be 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:17.680 heavier. Maybe I just don't have a lot of context for how much plasma 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:22.200 weighs. I think the tube is mostly empty. 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:26.680 And now we can see what they look like. 00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:33.120 Ooh, that's cool. Oh, there goes another one. Will 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.120 the last one light 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.040 up? Um, wait for 00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:50.799 it. Yeah, there it is. That looks 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:50.799 fantastic. Let's get these lights off. 00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:01.360 That is gorgeous. This is great 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.120 news because there's a train going by while we're 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:12.959 filming. No, but seriously, this is great news because my intended use for 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:16.400 these memory modules is actually for a 00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:18.639 fatherdaughter build. And I asked a VEX 00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:23.240 here, hey, what color are they? Are they really red or are they kind of pinky? 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.160 And they're like, "Oh yeah, they're red." But they're definitely kind of 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.520 pinky, which is exactly what I wanted. I'm doing like a white and pink themed 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.600 build. It's going to look freaking awesome. So, this is like the best news 00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:41.160 I've had all day. Let's check out the other colors. Taking a gamble in life. 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.240 Which one is green and which one is blue? There's only one way to find out. 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.280 Actually, there are two ways to find out. Well, okay. I did not realize that 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:56.560 they were clearly colorcoded on the dims. So, there are three ways to find 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.000 out. By looking at the box, by plugging 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.360 them in and looking at what color the plasma tubes are, or by just not 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.440 plugging them in, but looking at them at all. Three ways. Let's get these in 00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:14.039 there. This I'm expecting to be different. And it is. First, this one 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:18.160 lit up, then this one, then this one. Totally different. 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:24.479 I think it has to do with different warm-up times for the plasma tubes. 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.960 Those look so freaking cool. What I want to know though is if they're like the 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:32.840 ones at Science World where they're actually attracted to your touch and 00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:37.780 they kind of Oh, they are. No way. Oh, you're getting a closeup of 00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:39.880 that, right? Oh, that is so 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:47.919 cool. Does the whole thing get brighter if you like touch the whole thing? How 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:47.919 do I How do I get in there? 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.960 No. Oh, it does. Look at 00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:02.800 that. Wasn't that fun experiencing a whole new color of plasma tubes like 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.600 that? I sure think so. And that brings 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.120 us finally to the last color and perhaps the true purpose of this video. Because 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:14.639 I'm sure some of you at home are sitting there going, "Minus, this isn't even 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:20.160 new. These things have existed for literally years going back to DDR3 at 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:25.039 the very least. And the purpose of this video is that a Vexier reached out and 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:29.440 they were like, "Hey yo, do you want to review our RAM?" I said, "Hey, no, not 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.400 really because we don't review RAM because we think it's kind of pointless. 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:37.520 It doesn't affect system performance much." And as far as I'm concerned, the 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:43.919 looks are as much of a purchasing factor for me as the speed on the side of the 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.400 modules. But what I did say was, "But we 00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:50.880 do a lot of cool builds and we would love to have some of that sexy looking 00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.880 plasma RAM that we can color match to whatever builds we're doing." And they 00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:59.120 said, "Okay, but are you going to make a video about our RAM modules?" I said, 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.880 "Sure, we'll make a video where we install them in a motherboard and we 00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:06.800 show all the different colors and then that way we will have those sticks for 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:12.639 the future when we want to do cool color matched builds with sick dope looking 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:16.360 plasma RAM things in them." And that my friends is the purpose of today's 00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:22.160 episode of Holy Plasma memory. Oh, I think the blue 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:28.639 color is the best actually. That is a That is a fairly deep, sexy 00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:30.160 looking electric blue. I am liking it. 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.080 Now, I was trying to come up with some way to kind of tie Ting into the plasma 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.520 RAM. Like when you touch the plasma tube, it's attracted to you with the 00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:43.840 energy and positive energy and calling Ting and talking to a customer service 00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:48.400 agent instead of going through like a an automated phone directory. But, uh, it 00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:51.840 didn't work. So, we're just going to stick to the script. TING is the mobile 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:57.599 carrier that's focused on customer service and customer satisfaction first. 00:07:54.960 --> 00:08:02.160 You pay only for what you use with the average TING bill coming in at only $23 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.759 a month per device. And if you're stuck in a contract and you go over to 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:11.120 ting.com, I believe it's Linus.ing.com, and you try out their 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:14.160 savings calculator, it will tell you. You just put in your last few bills, and 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.919 it's like this is how much you would be paying on TING. It'll tell you if you'd 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.840 save money and if you would and you want to switch over to TING, they'll cover 00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:26.960 25% of your cancellation fee for your current contract up to 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:29.599 $75. And they are now lowering mobile 00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:35.760 data rates across the board. Data is now just $10 per gig beyond the first 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.560 Gigabyte. Woo! Every single TING customer will be able to reap the 00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:42.800 benefits of this change. So, head over to Linus.tain.com and try out their 00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:46.240 savings calculator with their new lower data rates. And when you sign up at our 00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:50.560 link, you'll get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device. So, 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.399 thanks for watching, guys.

I'm not acting like it's 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.640 new. I'm acting like it's exciting which it is. But you can discuss that with 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.440 other people and you know you can all be in agreement that I am stupid and you 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:31.839 know wrong or whatever else the case may be. I think there are other calls that I 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.959 do. subscribe and uh right, don't forget to check out our other videos over on 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:40.769 Channel Super Fun right about over there.
