yes I know there is not much Point unboxing RAM RAM is kind of RAM but one
0:08
thing that I do like to unbox is new RAM heat spreaders that I haven't seen
0:12
before because heat spreaders for all of their uh Aesthetics only sort of value
0:19
uh can matter I mean personally I bought a particular set of RAM for my machine
0:24
based on the heat spreaders cuz I really like them and obviously the price was
0:27
good too so this is an example of a product that has a great price and kind
0:31
of a neat looking heat spreader so this is the mushkin Silverline line of memory
0:36
so it features their silver line heat spreader which uh as you can see is a
0:42
line of silver from the top so it has a a very shiny finish on it you've got the
0:47
mushkin mushkin however you wish to pronounce that I'm going to put my hand
0:50
here so hopefully it'll focus there you go mushkin enhanced branding on the top
0:54
there and this is a two-piece heat spreader so it folds over right here at
0:59
this corner so of the pieces going to see if I can get to focus there for you
1:02
guys I'm sorry so one of the pieces there we are so one of the pieces goes
1:06
over the top and the other one's only on the side all right you can see the
1:10
adhesive material in there that sticks onto the RAM chips can't really see the
1:15
RAM chips from this angle oh it looks like this is a one-sided dim that's
1:19
actually a spacer so this is a one-sided dim but the heat spreader means that you
1:23
can't really tell when it's installed in your system so you just got a plain gray
1:27
background with a nice shiny silver actually it's quite nice I like
1:31
it there you are and one of the reasons I bring this up is that the silver line
1:35
is one of the most aggressively priced lines of memory on the market right now
1:39
this is a 1333 C9 nice low voltage 1.5
1:43
volt kit that is just like stupidly priced if you head over to NCIX right
1:48
now a lot of them are so this is a 2x2 gig but Silver Line comes in 2x2 gig 3x2
1:54
gig 2x 4 gig 3x4 gig and uh various
1:58
speeds so thank you for checking out my yes I know entirely pointless
