Take a Shot for Each "RGB" - HyperX SSDs, RAM | CES 2018

2018-01-13
everyone we're at the HyperX / Kingston suite now at CES 2018 there's a couple new products that they have primarily focused on RGB RGB or so before anyone comments and says RGB something I've been told you at this show is that apparently user engagement via social media channels increases by 60% if the post contains the letters RGB so just let that sink in for a moment while while you let that sink in this video is brought to you by Leon Lee and their 550 ex and 330 cases the 550 X is a $180 mid-tower case with tempered glass on all panels it's got three RGB LED fans positioned in the front each of which has a metal frame housing and an open interior design if you prefer a cheaper option the 330 is $100 and comes without fans and as what we recommended it most heavily in one of our recent case reviews learn more at the link in the description below the modules here we're looking at are kind of an iteration on what we saw I think last year so these are predator ddr4 RGB modules technically it says they're 3200 megahertz the final speeds and latencies are indeterminate at this time they'll be finalized closer towards quarter to when the module should be shipping this time for real so the the primary difference here from last time is that these actually use infrared sensors to synchronize with one another so rather than using either internal or external wiring which isn't that common these days but internal wiring certainly is rather than using that they're just using an IR transmitter and receiver on either side of the module so it does not matter which one is in which position you pick a module and the one in the from this orientation bottom slot is the effective master module and then that will synchronize the others to it what we're doing here is there's just a sticker that's sitting in between the sensors the IR receiver for this third module counting from bottom up and that is blocking the synchronization from the other to see these are syncing to each other and these are syncing to each other now if we pull it they pretty much instantly synchronize with one another so it's kind of interesting it's RGB technology but it's a new application of infrared so we have not seen this yet on memory which makes it kind of neat I don't have speeds prices anything like that right now but that's most of it as far as distances so if you're like I only buy two sticks because memory is a thousand dollars right now then you can they actually will sense one space apart they will not send two spaces apart but no one does that anyway if you had an x2 99 or a thread refer tr4 board and you had four slots here four here we asked about that as well then the modules down here would sync with one another and the modules up here would sync with one another they will not communicate across the SM bus so they are syncing only to the adjacent or nearly adjacent modules for the predator RGB memory so that's the update on those a couple other updates they also have a new SSD so that one we have some b-roll of as well and that is the HyperX fury RGB which is I don't have exact specifications on it but it's a Marvel controller and it basically uses a SATA power SATA data so your standard connectors plus a four pin and the four pin is just the four pin RGB connectors that you see pretty much with every motherboard at this point that will synchronize via the motherboard software I know it's compatible with at least three of the vendors from other boards and we'll see if it happens to be compatible the fourth by the time everything ships so that's just RGB SSD based is all you need to know about that one other stuff more functionally I suppose is this this is the XO so it's a savage XO SSD it's basically an MDOT to drive inside of an enclosure and it connects to it's meant to connect to consoles like the Xbox one so you connect to the Xbox one store your games on the device it's bit faster then the hard drive if you don't want to take it apart like we did and just install one which we have a video on but I suppose if you wanted external you could do that and it'll be a bit faster as far as that you're concerned about thermals asked about that because Crimea man MDOT to SSD into a plastic enclosure theoretically the Xbox shouldn't really be doing a lot of high-speed continuous reads and writes so theoretically thermal should not be too much of an issue because it's just I mean it's it's a low performance device that doesn't really pain memory a whole lot it's not like you're running Iometer on it so I think that covers most of the HyperX suite they have a couple new keyboards and mice they have an alloy elite RGB keyboard it's got some software for it now basically coming out sometime soon and also a mouse but focus here for us is primarily on memory and the storage solution so that's it for this one and subscribe for more as always go to patreon.com/scishow you max out directly thanks for watching I'll see you all next time
