so today I'm having a quick look at a gskill triple Channel memory kit this is
0:04
a fairly basic kit in that the timings and specs are not very impressive until
0:08
you get to the final bit so first of all this is a 1600 mahz kit so it's two gigs
0:14
by three sticks, 1600 MHz cast 9 so it
0:18
uses 999 24 timings and we're going to
0:21
go ahead and get it out there isn't really anything in particular on the
0:24
back triple Channel blah blah blah for core i7 so because it's a triple Channel
0:28
kit it's going to be optimized for the core i7 that's the LGA 1366 core i7 not
0:33
the 1156 one and the interesting thing
0:36
about this kit of memory is the 1.5 volt rating gskill has been doing this a lot
0:41
lately they've been taking all of their RAM and they've been instead of rating
0:46
it at a certain speed with 1.65 volts which is the maximum recommended by
0:51
Intel they've been cutting them down more and more so you see some gskill
0:55
kits down at 1.5 volts or even as low as
0:58
1.35 volts and what that means besides
1:01
the fact that you're going to have it run cooler and use less power it also
1:05
means that you can potentially get more overclocking out of it and now gskill is
1:09
famous for their overclock ability but what that means is if you've got a kit
1:13
That's rated at a certain speed 1.5 volt it will almost always overclock higher
1:18
than a kit That's rated at the same speed with 1.65 volts so thank you for
1:22
