everyone so we're at PAX East 2018 at the a date of birth we're checking out something we missed at CES Ashley advanced a lot since CES and that's what was known as the jellyfish memory the proper name is spectryx dat they also have a spat ryx d41 kit of memory here which would be the one in the back so these are both coming out within the next few weeks they're actually kind of new at the show pretty rare for packs and the dat memory uses a liquid cooling fluid in the top tube which I'll be detailing for you momentarily before that this video is brought to you by the EVGA z10 mechanical keyboard the EVGA z10 includes a small display readout top and center capable of providing Hardware monitoring information and EVGA precision statistics the board ships with either MX brown or MX blue switches offers a column of programmable macro keys a volume slider a dimmer and a detachable wrist rest learn more at the link in the description below so for the spectryx dat this is the one that was called jellyfish at CES 2018 basically it's using a normal heat thin or heat heat fin stack on the outside thermal pad centrally connecting to the memory modules as usual that sinks heat up words and it's hard to see without taking it apart which hopefully we'll be able to do we're planning to review these without taking it apart what I can tell you is my understanding is there are a couple of fins in here that are aluminum fins protruding from the heatsink on the outside of the memory module those go into the tube of fluid which is a 3m Novik fluid so the fluid in the tube has a boiling point of 50 degrees Celsius as I understand it today I am pretty limited understanding right now but once we have a preview I can talk more about it as I understand it today basically the 50 degree boiling point if you were to trip past that boiling point for the Novik fluid you would just undergo a normal phase change like you do for a copper heat pipe so as many of you know with a copper heat pipe there's a fluid inside as the fluid heats up when it goes through the cold plate you end up going through a phase change from where it's gas comes back down by capillary action turns back into liquid and so forth you lose a lot of your heat that way through the phase change process so for these spectryx at dat kit that's looking at about 3-4 weeks maybe it's not final it could get pushed back but that's kind of what they're looking at right now for the shipping time for the speeds probably about three thousand mega Hertz for starting I think as low as 2400 and then higher speed hits may come later as demand warrants so if you want higher end let them know but otherwise we'll be testing this hopefully thermally with a couple of thermocouples see how it actually does just out of pure interest because it'd be fun to do an a/b test you probably don't need the liquid cooling on memory these days if you're really pushing the clocks high sure it would help but it's ultimately something that you don't necessarily need but it's kind of cool so we'll play around with it the spectryx d41 is also new that's what's in the back here so this kit kind of has the same face as the other one it just doesn't have the fluid in it it's a standard heat sink not don't really need a lot of heat sinking on memory anymore these days anyway they're kind of low voltage and then LEDs on the top so this one should be shipping 2400 240 400 megahertz which is actually quite high capacities 4 to 16 gigabytes and I think that's more or less it for the show there's a new couple of them that 2 SSD as well nbme we'll talk about those later so main ones for a data here the D 41 and the DAT and we'll talk about these more in a couple of weeks once we get review samples otherwise as always subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow Andrews Nexus helps out directly thank you for watching I'll see you all next time
