Welcome to an unpro unpromptu impromptu

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.240
unboxing uh here in the crazy Russian

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:20.720
laboratory which is actually messier than usual. You guys got to do something

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.119
about this. I mean look at this Beats headphones. Who leaves this kind of

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:30.640
stuff lying around? Disgusting. Anyway, back to the product that I'm unboxing

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:33.600
today. So, this is AMD's Radeon edition memories. So, I don't know if you guys

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.880
remember this, but when they first launched the AMD memory, there was

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.320
entertainment edition, performance edition, and there was supposed to be

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:45.600
Radeon edition, but it never materialized. It's finally here. So, the

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.239
Radeon grade memory is clocked at higher frequencies than the entertainment and

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.920
performance edition series of memory. Um, other than that, the heat spreader

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.920
is very similar. The aesthetic is very similar. The whole idea behind it is

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.680
very similar where they're using JDK timing so that you don't have any

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.519
difficulty with compatibility and controlling the bomb that is the bill of

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.080
materials the stuff being used in it so that compatibility will be optimized for

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.479
AMD systems. So all of those concepts are still there with the Radeon series

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:20.560
having slightly more performance. In this case the memory that I've got right

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.880
here is actually running at 1866 MHz.

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.960
However, the timings are a little bit on. Oh, no. These are CL9 1.5 volt. So,

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.040
actually these are these look pretty good. Okay, so blah blah blah. Low

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.640
profile heat spreader assures protection and high compatibility testing running

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.920
frequencies up to 1866 and program with Jag timings. So, all this should be

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.759
pretty straightforward. Remember guys, just because it's AMD memory doesn't mean it only works in AMD systems. It'll

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:48.159
also work in an Intel system just fine. The kit I have here is a 2x4 gig kit,

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:51.920
although they are available in a wide variety of different configurations. So

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.680
here you can see what they mean by lowprofile heat spreader. So it's pretty

00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:00.079
much right even with the top of the PCB, which means no matter what kind of a

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.040
heat sink you got going on on your CPU, you're not going to have any difficulty

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.239
with clearance. I mean, some memory. Ah, here here's a perfect example. A Patriot

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.319
Viper kit that has sort of a higher heat spreader on it might have compatibility

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.920
issues. So there, that pretty much covers it. So, if you've got an AMD

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.239
system and you want AMD memory to go with it because it has like a sweet

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:25.520
black PCB and sweet black and red color scheme, then you could go with AMD

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.640
memory to match your sweet black and red color scheme. Thanks for checking out
