everyone we were at the Coursera suite at CES 2017 continuing our coverage for now we're focusing on the Vengeance RGB memory kits they have a lot of stuff here I'll have an article with everything in the description below if you're curious about the peripherals the chair things like that before we get into the memory this coverage is brought to you by cyber power and there's cyber XL gaming PC which has an invertible motherboard layout and some other cool features you can learn more on the link below getting to the memory so this is a continuation of the Corsair Vengeance line that we saw at Computex but now they've gone full RGB like everything else in late 2016 and apparently 2017 these are these single color LED kits that we have seen previously they come in red white and blue and the RGB kits are next to them the difference here from other RGB kits that we've seen is that these are controllable through software so we previously talked about the HyperX memory that is just coming out of the predator memory that is also RGB but that's controllable and synchronized well through motherboard software so that relies on gigabyte ACS and msi in this instance Corsair is using their own software the corsair link software it's on it's 4.5 iteration now it's been out for a while so you go through the Corsair link software you can configure the colors the pulse the nodes all of that stuff as expected the main thing there that's probably worth note at least from when I was looking at it is you can select groups so there's a drop-down that shows all the different memory modules that are connected to the system it works with z2 71 70 X 99 all that stuff shows the drop-down with the memory modules and you can go through and select different modules with a simple checkbox and set them in a group so if we wanted to we could configure one of these in one group one in the other group and they would have different lighting modes the forward or backward whatever functions you want they don't presently synchronize with motherboards it is something that's being looked at that has to be worked through with the motherboard manufacturers because this goes through the sm bus to communicate anything that's necessary we were asking about possible links with the existing SP and HD type products or Corsair already has RGB LEDs on the market and that's another one of those maybe being looked at but not right now because there are some latency challenges which makes sense because when you're not going through USB which would be a lot easier to do you're limited by other factors in the system but for now it's RGB LEDs they're controllable through software as stated I don't have SKUs I don't have prices it will probably be something like 3000 3200 Hertz kits for the baseline but for anything else we'll have to come back later so that's coming out later this year and check the link in the description below for other Corsair coverage thank you for watching subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
