Welcome to an unpro unpromptu impromptu
unboxing uh here in the crazy Russian
laboratory which is actually messier than usual. You guys got to do something
about this. I mean look at this Beats headphones. Who leaves this kind of
stuff lying around? Disgusting. Anyway, back to the product that I'm unboxing
today. So, this is AMD's Radeon edition memories. So, I don't know if you guys
remember this, but when they first launched the AMD memory, there was
entertainment edition, performance edition, and there was supposed to be
Radeon edition, but it never materialized. It's finally here. So, the
Radeon grade memory is clocked at higher frequencies than the entertainment and
performance edition series of memory. Um, other than that, the heat spreader
is very similar. The aesthetic is very similar. The whole idea behind it is
very similar where they're using JDK timing so that you don't have any
difficulty with compatibility and controlling the bomb that is the bill of
materials the stuff being used in it so that compatibility will be optimized for
AMD systems. So all of those concepts are still there with the Radeon series
having slightly more performance. In this case the memory that I've got right
here is actually running at 1866 MHz.
However, the timings are a little bit on. Oh, no. These are CL9 1.5 volt. So,
actually these are these look pretty good. Okay, so blah blah blah. Low
profile heat spreader assures protection and high compatibility testing running
frequencies up to 1866 and program with Jag timings. So, all this should be
pretty straightforward. Remember guys, just because it's AMD memory doesn't mean it only works in AMD systems. It'll
also work in an Intel system just fine. The kit I have here is a 2x4 gig kit,
although they are available in a wide variety of different configurations. So
here you can see what they mean by lowprofile heat spreader. So it's pretty
much right even with the top of the PCB, which means no matter what kind of a
heat sink you got going on on your CPU, you're not going to have any difficulty
with clearance. I mean, some memory. Ah, here here's a perfect example. A Patriot
Viper kit that has sort of a higher heat spreader on it might have compatibility
issues. So there, that pretty much covers it. So, if you've got an AMD
system and you want AMD memory to go with it because it has like a sweet
black PCB and sweet black and red color scheme, then you could go with AMD
memory to match your sweet black and red color scheme. Thanks for checking out
