description so we're here in the Corsair Suite where as a surprise to absolutely
0:14
nobody Corsair has added RGB lighting to
0:18
yet another thing quite frankly I'm surprised it took them this long I think
0:21
it has something to do with the complexity of Designing RGB lighting and
0:26
all of the control circuitry that goes along with them in something as
0:30
precision tuned as high-speed ddr4
0:34
memory with that said they seem to have pulled it off pretty darn well here
0:37
because their Vengeance RGB memory modules are already running at 4266 MHz
0:44
on the latest z270 platform from Intel
0:47
now speaking of platforms these aren't going to run RGB on just anything thanks
0:52
to Corsair's link software they've got it working so far on z170 z270 and x99 a
1:00
differentiating factor compared to competitor RGB memory modules and
1:06
they're also working on support for AMD ryzen but what do you get for your money
1:11
well you get some memory and you get this handy dandy little piece of
1:15
software that is extremely beta right
1:18
now that allows you to set up a bunch of different color cycling profiles or
1:23
individual colors you can link them between modules you cannot necessarily
1:27
synchronize the actual effects between modules even if they are running the
1:30
same ones again it's very very early but if you were looking for the way to take
1:35
your RGB out system to the next RGB level then Corsair has got you covered
1:41
they're not launching until sometime in like q1 of this year but if you're me
1:48
and you can't wait that long you can just turn off the demo system wait for
1:53
the fans to spin down make sure it's actually off it's really hard to tell if computers are off these days cuz they're
1:57
all covered in lights even when they're sleeping and you can just walk right out
2:00
of the booth with them right now so thanks for checking out this video on
2:03
the Corsair suite and uh bye
2:12
everybody I'm just kidding I'm back I'm back to give Corsair's memory back and
2:16

2:21

2:34

2:37
