as my longtime viewers will know I do like to make a habit of while not
0:05
unboxing every RAM kit that you know
0:08
ever comes out because there's far too many configurations for that rather
0:11
there are far too many configurations for that I do like to make a habit of
0:15
unboxing at least each heat spreader that comes out so I have not yet had a
0:20
chance to check out the Vengeance heat spreader from Corsair now vengeance is
0:25
sort of a a value line from Corsair but what's cool about it is that
0:30
unlike many lines of memory from other vendors you can see here that this one
0:35
is optimized for core I3 Core i5 core i7 and AMD Phenom x 2 so the timing is
0:41
pretty good for that as AMD sales are pretty good at the moment with their six
0:46
core processors being such a wicked value for video editors and such so you
0:52
can see each module is actually packaged individually this is smart because it
0:56
means that Corsair can easily just by producing a different size box make them
1:01
into a dual Channel or a triple Channel kit and by programming the SPD slightly
1:06
differently so this particular kit is an 8 gig kit so that is it is two 4 gig
1:12
modules and unlike the picture which shows them as sort of a matte finish you
1:17
can see here that the Vengeance heat spreader is sort of in between a matte
1:21
and a glossy finish so it looks quite uh looks quite Sleek now I don't actually
1:26
have a motherboard handy to show you guys what it looks like when it's installed but you can see here that the
1:30
graphics are actually done via a sticker so there's a sticker that wraps around
1:34
the top here there's a sticker that goes on the
1:38
side here and then there's also a sticker over here that has uh the part
1:43
number or barcode as well as all the information about this kit so why don't
1:46
we have a look at what this kit has to say for itself so it's a 2x4 gig kit
1:51
this is a 4 gig dim it runs at 1600 MHz
1:55
99924 and look at that nice low voltage
1:59
only one .5 volts on this particular
2:02
Vengeance kit so while the heat spreader
2:05
frankly doesn't really do that much in terms of RAM performance at this point
2:11
it's often part of a of a nicely styled build and it couldn't be that hard to
2:15
find something that'll go well with the Vengeance module so thanks for watching
